Bush - Before and After

This is old, but still something that we don't really talk about. Joke about, yes. But we don't say anything about it.

Maybe something just snapped after 9/11/2001...

That's How They Get Things Done In Texas

Okay, so chances are that's how they do that in every state of the Union, but it still doesn't make it right.

I don't want some other representative from some other district voting for my representative - I didn't vote for them! If my rep can't make the vote for whatever reason, then they don't get to vote. If that means something doesn't get through, then it doesn't get through and has to start from square one again.

The law says they should be punished, so I say punish these prigs, and anyone else we catch doing the same thing.

Ten Timeless Persuasive Writing Techniques

Article by Brian Clark

Persuasion is generally an exercise in creating a win-win situation. You present a case that others find beneficial to agree with. You make them an offer they can’t refuse, but not in the manipulative Godfather sense.

Denim Blues

Agh! I went out and bought a new pair of blue jeans this weekend and am now regretting it.

A year or so ago I decided to start wearing slacks instead of jeans. I always though that slacks were a bit more formal and wanted to be more casual so I stuck with Jeans. However, when I found some cargo slacks that were a nice and casual without being too grung, I figured I'd give it a go and I liked them.

Well, I suppose it could be that I just need to break these things in, but damn...

Physics of 9/11

Now, I'm not going to say that I am 100% sure that the events of Sept. 11, 2001 were an inside job, but there are still a surprising number of questions that were never answered or given the brush aside.

Below you will find a link to a blog entry from physicist David L Griscom that takes a look at the physics of the World Trade Center Collapse:

“Hand Waving” the Physics of 9/11

I'm not going to take sides on the collapse of WTC Towes 1 & 2 until a definitive answer can be given.

However, the collapse of Tower 7 (the Salomon Brothers Building) sticks of BS. The of the cuff references to "pulling", the fact that there were only a few fires inside (none started an impacting aircraft), and a BBC report that the building had collapsed some twenty minutes before it happened...

BBC Reported Building 7 Had Collapsed 20 Minutes Before It Fell

For crying-out-loud, it's still standing in the background of the shot!

The Mist

One of the first Steven King stories I read all the way through was "The Mist". I actually first hear the story in a 3D audio production back in the 1989, and have always held it as my most favored story by Mr. King. Now, finally, it is going to have it's shot at the silver screen.

I can't remember where, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Steven King was going to make this into a much larger apocalyptic tale, but instead wrote "The Stand".
