Saturday

Well, before I can start remodeling my flooded family room, I have to take shelving off the walls.
Before I do that, I have to relocate the printers, cable phone modem, wireless router, reroute cables all to a new central point, as if I have that many options.
The electronics are now moved, and everything works again after much travail.
The shelving still mocks me.

Privacy

The same government that argues that the Constitution protects a woman's "Right to Privacy" over her body, so that she may kill a baby residing therein,
also argues that she has no right to privacy over her e-mails, cell phone conversations or freedom from aerial surveillance while relaxing in her back yard.

It's Alive!!!!

Well, the computer I'm typing on at the moment was just resurrected from  the dead.
The flood in my family room had toasted it's motherboard.
Insurance bought me a new one, but a used motherboard was $40 off of Ebay.

Had to re-install Windows, after downloading, (for free!) off of Microsoft.com, an ISO of the install disk (which I did not have, and they were willing to sell me!).
Online activation worked like a charm.

The Death of a Loved One

RIP

A Blog friend Brigid has lost her companion of many years, of whom she has written wonderful stories.
I just thought I'd put on a black armband for her.

Three Degrees of Separation from George Soros!

I was on Bill Bennett again this morning in response to the opulence
displayed by the deposed president of the Ukraine, contrasting it with the opulence
displayed by our yet-to-be-deposed dictator.

So, I've talked with Bill Bennett, and he's debated George Soros.
I don't think I'll be leaning on George for a loan anytime soon.

A Subtle Pattern

There is a subtle pattern of behavior in the executive office that should be remarked upon.

This is a picture of a Pro Western Demonstration in Iran a few years ago.

This is the Presidential response:

This is a picture of a Pro Western Demonstration in Egypt a few years ago.

This is the Presidential response:

This is a picture of a Pro Western Demonstration in Ukraine last week.

This is the Presidential response:

This is a picture of a Pro Western Demonstration in Venezuela a few days ago.

This is the Presidential response:

Do I detect a pattern here?
