McCutcheon put Bill Gates on the Bus. I didn't say anything.

I tried to put Payne Stewart on the Bus and McCutcheon almost had a coniption. I took it off because "golfers can't be cool" or something.

To get back at him I took Fiona Apple off the bus and he never eve noticed.

So Why is Bill Gates on the Bus?

He let his dorky MIT roommate called Steve Ballmer run his Fortune 50 company and says things like this:

"I want to make sure a user can't get through an online experience without hitting a Microsoft ad."

Steve Ballmer is a monopolist and destroyer of lives. The EU just fined him $600 million for predatory practices. He continues the MS tradition of elevating fat or just plain ugly people with inferiority complexes into positions of power.

One day everyone will use Linux and Windows will only be used by the same dumb Texans who believe in Jesus and Free Trade.

Thank you for your attention.

Oh yeah... and my prediction is that Bush will be tried one day for his war crimes and sentenced to prison where he belongs.

He started an international war over a family dispute. Now that is not just dumb... but that is also illegal.

If Bill Clinton can almost be impeached over lying about a blow job... surely you can jail a man for lying about weapons of mass destruction and using that lie to justify an invasion of a country that was in compliance with UN regulations at the time. Hans Blix has stated repeatedly that there was no justification for the invasion.

Yesterday it was proven that Bush ignored warnings about 9-11. The same man who dumbass Americans think is protecting them actually let it happen. Yes that's right. He knew it was coming and did very little to stop it. That explains why he was reading to 6 year olds at kindergarden at the time of the bombing.

Bin Ladin gained popularity and struck controversy in the Islamic world by preaching that America was going to invade Muslim holy lands. They did. They built a military base in Saudi Arabia, then Kuwaut, and now occupy Iraq. We proved Osama right. Nice job right-wingers on giving that fucking smeg-head some not-so-well-needed credibility.

Now I can never go the Middle East and taste what a real falafel is supposed to taste like.

SEATTLE TIMES --->

WASHINGTON — President Bush's top counterterrorism adviser warned seven days before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that hundreds of people could die in a strike by al-Qaida and that the administration was not doing enough to combat the threat, the commission investigating the attacks disclosed yesterday.

On Feb. 26, 1993, members of an Islamic Jihad cell bombed the World Trade Center in New York City. That was Al-Quaida.

Even Bill between his blowjobs stopped them from finishing the job while he was in office.

What this cell needed was a little help. A President who clearly cared for nothing but his own power. Someone who could help them by pretending to be Forrest Gump stupid when the cameras were on him.

That man was W.

Have you read Pigs at the Trough? I read it last year and went around trying to talk to people about it for days -- nobody cared.

It's written by Arianna Huffington. The one genuine response I got, "That's quite a pretentious name" -- what!?

SO then Arianna ran for governor of California -- I'm sure it was that pretentious name that kept her from winning. The book is interesting, and so is she:

Campaign-spouse-turned-commentator Arianna Huffington pledged Wednesday that she will end special interest tax breaks and decrease college tuition fees if elected California's governor in October.

Huffington, 53, said she would run as an independent and would try to galvanize "people who have given up on politics."

"Today I am announcing that I'm running for governor of the great state of California," said Huffington, who spoke at a rally at a youth center announcing her candidacy. "Those are 16 words I never thought I could hear myself say."

Huffington first announced her candidacy Wednesday on the "Today" show, a few hours before a news conference and rally.

Her former husband, Michael Huffington has taken out nominating papers and also is considering entering the race. His spokesman, Bruce Nestande, said Wednesday no decision has been made.

Despite the number of people who have expressed interest in being the state's next governor, Huffington felt it was the right time to run.

"I'm not, to say the least, a conventional candidate. But these are not conventional times," said Huffington, who was surrounded by signs reading "Arianna For Governor" and "Arianna, It's Time to Clean House." "And if we keep electing the same kind of politicians who got us into the same kind of mess, funded by the same kind of special interests, we'll never get out of this mess."

Born in Greece, Huffington moved to England when she was 16 years old and graduated from Cambridge University. She married Michael Huffington in 1986 and helped him win a congressional seat in Santa Barbara. Michael Huffington attempted a bid for a Senate seat in 1994 but was defeated by current U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. They divorced after he publicly announced he was gay.

Huffington writes a syndicated column that appears in the Los Angeles Times, the New York Daily News and the Boston Herald. She also has written nine books and has appeared on numerous talk shows.

Huffington heads a nonprofit group, The Detroit Project, that urges fuel efficiency among American drivers and less dependency on imported oil. Earlier this year, the group was criticized for two television ads that tried to link SUVs to terrorist funding. Some TV stations refused to air the ads.

This is Marky, only tonight I am nothing more than a guest. Why? Because I can't log in. None of the links at the top of the page are working. But I'll survive.

Sarah, you're back! I was thinking of you recently because in my music research travels, I totally accidentally came across Jackson Browne, I swear it was an accident! So I got to see the Magritte-style LP sleeve you were talking about. It doesn't surprise me that the "Patriot" song was written by the Van Zandt guy, he was pretty damn political, the way I remember him. Like some friend of Springsteen, but way more political. I haven't even heard the song, but I'll try to, just for you.

Anyway, I'm all for loads of T.V. ads linking SUV's to funding terrorists. The well-to-do people who buy these things need to get real. I read an article that said some SUV drivers feel "guilty" because of the environmental aspect of contributing more than their fair share to global warming and air pollution. I mean even if you don't believe global warming exists (with your head obviously in the sand), that doesn't make it okay to choke people with your smelly smog and yes, give all your extra gas money to terrorist-supporting nations.

Besides, I honestly feel even if SUV's were not connected with environmental destruction or terrorist-supporting nations, that the damn things are freaking ugly, okay? These mammoth vehicles that look like status symbols to those who own them just look like fucking FAT EYESORES.

and before you get all over me, Brett, yours is incredibly small compared to many I have seen.
I can't claim to know what it's like where you live, but here, an SUV is a status symbol, no more. Despite the television commercials of SUV's going over rough terrain, most of these idiots just drive them to the grocery store and and around town and back and are stuck in traffic just like most of the rest of us, only they block visibility for people driving smaller vehicles. Not to mention being far more deadly to other drivers and pedestrians than cars. Check out Keith Bradsher's book "SUV's - The World's Most Dangerous Vehicles and How They Got That Way" 2002. I found it in my college library. Quite an eye-opener.

This is still Marky here...Well, Sloth had his rant, now I get mine.

It's amazing how hard it is to convince people of other countries that our U.S. intentions are good and honorable when the ousted Haitian president says (AFTER he was supposedly helped by us to get out and escape violence) that he was forced out. Do you think anyone is going to believe we DIDN'T actually force him out? Haitians believed him!

Some Palestinians said there's no way Israel could have killed the leader of terrorist organization Hamas without U.S. approval, even if the Bush administration claims they had no knowledge of Israel's plans.

Where you or I stand on these things is of no importance whatsoever. We as people from the United States will not be believed, now. Our credibility is shot! Thank Bush.

My new slogan is: Republicans romanticize war. I invite anyone to dispute this.

Regarding the subject of this thread, though, Sloth, at least the EU put Microsoft in their place. I do think Linux is a good thing. People should be free to use their talents to modify things. In 20 years, Microsoft won't mean much.

By the way I am NOT a guest I am Mark, damnit, therefor, I am. As a good old friend of mine used to say, End of Sermon.

I'm picking up my Jeep Wrangler today. It'll look good parked beside my Ford Explorer and towing my ski boat, which gets about 3 miles to the gallon. My gas comes from Alberta, but you can never trust those crazy cowboys. It's just a matter of time before their plans of world domination become public and we shall shake with fear as the awesome power of the Calgary SS comes pounding through the borders and over the mountains. God willing.

As of ten minutes ago missus Tommy accepted a job in Cincinnati. She will get the title director along with more money. So microsoft can now go and fuck themselves. I will be in Seattle for as long as it takes to sell this shed. Apparently the market is "Hot" right now. Have to get the deal closed before the next big terrorist attack and subsequent recession.
