Mark Frauenfelder: "D" sez: This profile of Cheney is frightening. The only hope it offers is that every President to have Cheney involved in its adminitration has failed to be re-elected.

I knew the guy was bad, but if all the allegations in this article are true, he's singlehandedly hamstrung all the offices of the military and intelligence in the US:

Over at Defense, competent intelligence professionals were purged in order to ease the way to war. Douglas Feith, brought in under Rumsfeld to serve as undersecretary of defense for policy, applied an ideological test to his staff: He didn't want competence; he wanted fervor. Col. Pat Lang, a Middle East expert who served under five presidents, Republican and Democratic, in key posts in military intelligence, recalls being considered for a job at the Pentagon. During the job interview, Feith scanned Lang's impressive resume. "I see you speak Arabic," Feith said. When Lang nodded, Feith said, "Too bad," and dismissed him.

According to the Weekly World News, an unnamed CIA source has revealed that Dick Cheney is a robot. Unfortunately, says the source, the designers were "unable to give it emotions and compassion". The robot can move and speak almost as well as a human and its electronic brain has 24/7 wireless Internet access. A leaked photo shows Cheney with a portion of his chest folded back, revealing wiring and circuit boards. While the source reported that Cheney-bot is unable to learn from experience, he also commented that "the damn thing is smart, I'll give it that much." Cheney's frequent hospital visits are actually a cover for maintenance on his circuits. A scan of the original article can be found at Indymedia.org.

Hating Dick Cheney - Our vice president is so widely hated as being an evil puppeteer, but this seems to be far from the truth. He's really "a frazzled, heart attack survivor who's barely hanging on—to life, his job, his position, his sense of self-esteem."

"He's also the only one who didn't
appoint Dick Cheney to an office."

Humane Society Rips Dick Cheney

Humane Society Rips Dick Cheney 12/10/2003 09:08 PM
Th e Humane Society of the United States rips Dick Cheney on "can ned hunting": "This wasn't a hunting ground. It was an open-air abattoir, and the vice president should be ashamed to have patronized this operation and then slaughtered so many animals," states Wayne Pacelle, a senior vice president of The Humane Society of the United States. "If the Vice President and his friends wanted to sharpen their shooting skills, they could have shot skeet or clay, not resorted to the slaughter of more than 400 creatures planted right in front of them as animated targets." According to another news source, "five-hundred pheasants were released in front of Cheney and his men; and the ten-man hunting party killed 417 of the birds. Vice President Cheney alone shot over 70 pheasants. The birds were then plucked and vacuum-packed in time for Cheney's afternoon flight back to Washington, DC."

Poor Dick Cheney. Those defered-salary payments he receives from Halliburton Oil (which has been importing oil into Iraq -- at taxpayer expense -- at twice the rate other companies have been trucking it in from Kuwait) must not be enough to pay for groceries. He has to go out and shoot his food. Read about his exciting bird hunting trip, where he shot 70 "pen-raised animals that cannot escape." He sure must be hungry. Li nk

Shame on you, Dick Cheney, Shame on you.

Shame on you, Dick Cheney, Shame on you. 01/12/2004 12:47 AM

I can't believe Cheney changed his stance on gay marriage, and so completely at that.

What kind of father goes out on a national stage and says he doesn't believe his own daughter deserves the same rights in her life that he enjoys with his own marriage?

It's not like Dick and Mary have a bad relationship, all his quotes from 2000 supported her and kept her out of the limelight, while she put off grad school to work on his campaign and consulted on gay issues for the 2000 election. They reportedly accept Mary's longtime partner, Heather Poe, into their home and call her part of the family.

The vice president and his wife have fought for family values without completely alienating their daughter until now. I know sometimes career takes precidence over family and that Bush and Cheney have shown on more than one occasion that they can be hypocritical, but Cheney just proved he's worse than all that. He's a shitty father for not defending his daughter.

Curse of the Net

Curse of the Net 05/19/2004 04:38 AM

Speaking of Google, Evan blogged from the SBC Park last tuesday and took this picture.

I think it's neat that WiFi is available at the park and geeks tend to posse with other geeks, but the picture made me shake my head.  Four laptops in a row, including the one Evan probably had in front of him while he took the picture, at a baseball park?

Hmm.  Maybe this was sort of a work thing.  A WiFi-enabled stadium is a perfect place for flash P2P grid computing after all.  Who needs expensive office spaces when your team can work at round-the-clock movie theathers and holding meetings at the lobby?  When WiFi access at campsites become widely available, maybe we'll see startups working out of tents and RVs.

The curse of anonymity

The curse of anonymity 09/05/2004 12:52 AM

As much as I love the web and am incredibly thankful for the opportunities it has provided for me, days like today make me loathe its anonymity. The day started off with a nasty bout of comment spam, followed at midday by dealing with someone posting FeedDemon serial numbers (since disabled) to a warez site, then ended with a bizarre series of threats from a disgruntled Dreamweaver user. Before I continue, take a look at this Google Groups search for some background information.

As you can see, someone has made several posts to various Macromedia newsgroups claiming that TopStyle has hijacked Dreamweaver. His complaint is that every time he tries to open a CSS file in Dreamweaver, it opens in TopStyle instead. And since he installed the trial version of TopStyle, it's asking him to register it. Now, the reason TopStyle keeps being opened is actually due to a bug in Dreamweaver. Every time you start Dreamweaver, it automatically detects TopStyle and sets it as the default CSS editor - even if you've removed it from the "File Types / Editors" list in Dreamweaver's preferences. So matter what you do, if you have TopStyle installed, Dreamweaver uses it as the external CSS editor.

Here's the kicker: this same person has emailed me several times and threatened to start a class action lawsuit against my company unless I pay him $1,000.00 by September 9. Here's a quote:

"I have an attorney on the staff of my company and we are going to be moving aggressively against companies using unscrupulous marketing practices such as yours. The time we lost today cost us about $1,000. That is the amount that will make us go away. Otherwise we are going to seek a class action lawsuit against you. We will start by finding others who have been damaged by your practices. This will be done with a Google Adwords ad that comes up each time someone enters topstyle or bradsoft into Google. Send the check for $1,000 to: [address removed]"

Now, obviously this guy has a loose wire, and his threat is laughable - if he ever tried to file suit, he would be in hot water for extortion. But being a one-man-show, it's incredibly hard for me to spend time dealing with people like this - yet I have to, because their posts to public newsgroups show up in Google searches for my software.

Does anyone else have to deal with this kind of garbage, and if so, how do you handle it?
