Light and Fluffy Rice
Condoleezza Rice, a key bulwark in our national security, gave a laundry list of largely specious justifications for the invasion of Iraq on Meet the Tim. Among these was: "[Saddam] was tying down our forces in Saudi Arabia."
Glad we don't have that problem any more. Thanks Rice!
Asked if she would serve in a hypothetical second Dubya administration, Rice said "Tim, I'm trying to get through the next few, uh, weeks."
Her intestinal fortitude is awe inspiring. I feel so much safer knowing we have a strong, resiliant person like Ms. Rice looking out for us.
Roll Over
The government just released the long awaited results of its new rollover safety rating. The good news? Other than one vehicle, everything got three out of five stars or better! Why heck, three out of five is mighty fine. I feel safer already.
The one laggard? Aw, come on, you can guess. The Ford Exploder Explorer, or at least one of the variants of that vehicle, got only two stars. That's like a D+, which ain't too shabby.
Now people might be suspecting some sort of grade inflation with this here new system, and I'd like to lay that nonsense to rest. Let me give you an example. The Toyota Tacoma 4 x 2 tipped up onto two wheels during the driving test (yeeee-haaaaww!!!!), and was judged to have a 20% chance of landing on its side or lid during a single car crash. Well, that sort of two-wheeling and flipping over behavior might frighten people, so it got only four stars.
See, the system works.
Microsoft Outlook is Evil
I can summarize the problem like this: Microsoft does not like nor do they comply with this kinda popular thing called "The Internet Protocol". Mr. Gates, you are either an idiot or are evil for trying to thwart the use of SNMP, POP3, MIME, UUENCODE, etc. Go Cheney yourself.
Ah, that feels better.
Update: And Microsoft Exchange Server is the spawn of Satan. No, really.
