Cool Link.

21st October 2004

For all you techies out there.

Nice to know that you can be located any time you use the net unless you are using an anonymous proxy like Metropipe or findnot.com. Sure, you could always be tracked to your ISP using your IP but it’s really easy now to find out exactly where (physical location) anyone is.

There is no liberal media bias (NOT).

Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian terrorists – good
Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator – bad

Clinton bombs Chinese Embassy – good
Bush bombs terrorist camps – bad

Clinton commits felonies while in office – good
Bush lands on aircraft carrier in flight suit – bad

No mass graves found in Serbia – good
No WMD found in Iraq – bad

Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton – good
Economy on upswing under Bush – bad

Clinton refuses to take custody of bin Laden – good

Another thing. As you watch the debate tonight pay attention when John Kerry brings up the 45 million people without health care. This is such a joke. Here is a breakdown of how Kerry “counts” these 45 million people.

20 Million of these people are counted because they were in-between jobs and had a temporary loss of health care coverage. They regain coverage when they get past the 30-60-90 days that some employers make you wait before they cover you. Gee.. none of us have been in that situation huh?

Around 10 million of these people do HAVE ACCESS to health care but choose not to sign up for government sponsored health care (Medicaid, state programs, etc).

Another large portion are young adults ages 20-35. A recent study found that this group of people spent 3 times more on entertainment and eating out than they did on health care. I.E. if they WANTED IT THEY COULD AFFORD HEALTH CARE (INSURANCE) coverage.

Then you have the illegal immigrants that are being counted but who do not qualify for health care insurance (govt or otherwise) because they are in this country ILLEGALLY.

What’s the bottom line? When you filter out all of Kerry’s bullshit there are only a few million people in this country that you can say are legitimately without healthcare because they cannot afford it (and don’t qualify for government assistance).

Why the heck Bush doesn’t point this out (along with all of Kerry’s other BS) I don’t know. It seems to me that someone should stand up and point these things out.

How can Kerry imply that this so-called health insurance crisis is Bush’s fault when he has never himself introduced ANY legislation to correct the situation? How ridiculous is that?

Oh well. Just had to get some of this stuff off my chest. It’s going to be a dark day for this country if Kerry wins this election. Get out and vote.

Doesn’t it drive you nuts that you have to download the supposedly “free” realplayer and quicktime to watch real or quicktime videos? I found a site that offers a free alternative to the Real and Apple players. It also has some codec packs so the installation is very easy.

Just a little something about John Kerry…

5th October 2004

This is something I found on the net. I thought it was extremely interesting. Sorry to all you Poodle fans out there but I am voting for GWB (as if you didn’t already know that if you have read any of my other posts).

———–CUT HERE———–

JOB APPLICATION

NAME: John Kerry

RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including Washington, DC, worth multimillions.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
Law Enforcement. I voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA and defense bill in my career as a US Senator. I ordered Boston to remove a fire hydrant which I considered unsightly, in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my neighbors in the event of fire.

MILITARY:

I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I then returned to the US, joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby killers. I threw my medals, ribbons, or something away in protest. Or did I? My book; Vietnam Veterans Against the War: The New Soldier shows how I truly feel about the military. I deplore the military!

COLLEGE:

I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my counterpart George Bush, I have no higher education and did not get admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for U.S. Congress and have been there ever since. I have no real world experience except that of a gigolo, by marrying rich women and running HJ Heinz vicariously through my wife Teresa.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

As a US Senator I set the record for the most liberal voting record, exceeding even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. I have consistently failed to support our military and CIA by voting against budgets, thus gutting our country’s ability to defend itself. Although I voted for the Iraq War, now I am against it and refuse to admit that I voted for it. I voted for every liberal piece of legislation. I have no plan to help this country but I intend to raise taxes significantly if I am elected.

My wealth so far exceeds that of my counterpart, George Bush, that he will never catch up. I make no or little charitable contributions and have never agreed to pay any voluntary excess taxes in MA, despite family wealth in excess of $700 million.

I (we) own 28 manufacturing plants (Heinz) outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, Mexico and Europe. We can make more profit from the cheaper cost of labor in those countries, although I blame George Bush for sending all of the jobs out of Country.

Although I claim to be in favor of alternative energy sources, Ted Kennedy and I oppose windmills off Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard as it might spoil our view of the ocean as we cruise on our yachts.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:

None.

PERSONAL

I ride a Serotta Bike.

My Gulfstream V Jet I call The Flying Squirrel.

I call my $850,000 42-foot Hinckley twin diesel yacht the “Scarmouche.”

I am fascinated by rap and hip-hop and feel it reflects our real culture.

I own several “Large” SUVs including one parked at my Nantucket summer mansion, though I am against large polluting inefficient vehicles and blame George Bush for the energy problems.

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004.
