What would Jesus do? It’s a no-brainer; he would leave the Christian Coalition, take a consulting job with Enron and then use his divine power to make George W. Bush president
News from Agape Press This news story is completely inaccurate. Taco Bell is giving game cards away and not Tarot cards. According to the story, there was no contact or verification with Taco Bell either. A one sided news story with wrong facts….
No Pop-up Ads on Google “Google does not allow pop-up ads of any kind on our site. We find them annoying.” This is why we all love Google….
First computer - started messing around on friends C-64’s in 1984 (back in grade 4) - type in all day only to see a bouncing ball - hard to believe that GEOS could run on that thing (btw, our world would be a better place if Geos had become the standard instead of Windows on PC’s). First computer I owned was a Tandy Color Computer, the only cool thing about it was that it has Q-Bert. I wish I had a Timex Sinclair but oh well….
First webpage - sometime in 1994 while connecting online via my AT and 9600 bps modem via a shell account via GeoCities. On further inspection, it was normal then but hasn’t aged well. It got me addicted.
Passport glitch hits Microsoft game site And MS want’s to host all of my important data. They can’t even keep their data online.
Nevada Board Denies Tyson Boxing License I hope that Mike gets his life together. Tyson needs some help and sadly getting an alternative venue is not the answer. I appluad the Nevada gaming commissions stand. I just wish Tyson would heed the advice.
The Great Divide “I predict that in the years ahead Enron, not Sept. 11, will come to be seen as the greater turning point in U.S. society.” Paul Krugman may be right. The days of accepting what a corporation or organization says as truth may be over. Companies and org’s are going to be coming under much harsher scrutiny from here on in.
U.S. Says Arafat Missed Opportunity for Statehood I agree with much of this article but what about Israel’s continued development of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza? Is that not provocation? I wonder how many people would react to a process that had the occupier building permanent settlements on your land? The whole process is really messed up.
I love living in Saskatchewan… well my area of Saskatchewan. In the mid-central part we have hills and Saskatoon is a university city. Saskatchewan has some of the finest lakes and wildlife in the world and since only a million of us live here, there is lots of wilderness to go around.
In the winter however it is stinking cold here. This morning my fuel line froze up just like nothing. One second I am driving down the highway, the next I am stopped on an awfully quiet stretch of road hoping my cell phone works. It was -30. Luckily someone came along and gave us a ride to the next town. $150 later I am towed back into Saskatoon and not happy about it.
There are other alternatives and not everyone I know has to drive 340 kms every Sunday for work but once or twice a year I start to think about living in a different part of the world. Today is one of those days.
Jones back in Blue As a Rider fan, I am appalled by this but as a CFL fan I am pleased. When you realize that you are closer to being Henry Burris and not Doug Flutie, the CFL makes a lot more sense.
Yahoo! News - Powell Asks Bush to Reverse Stand on War Captives
This is kind of interesting because what determines humane conditions? I am not taking an opinion one way or another. I haven’t been in any jails except when our high school class got a tour but even in Canada’s penal system, there are differing conditions. That being said, my office is smaller than 8×8.
Big O couldn’t get much emptier They just need to contract the Expo’s. I don’t think any fans care enough anymore to even go let alone be upset by it.
Hitchcock loses showdown in Dallas Too bad that Ken Hitchcock got fired. I have always like him although watching the trap can be painful. I thought Bob Gainey did the class act and move himself out when Ken got fired (if it was his decision). The GM makes mistakes and the coach gets fired seems to be an old tune in all of sports.
Bush weighs tough measures with advisers; says Arafat enhances terror Powell recommended Arafat make more arrests and keep the suspects in prison. He also wanted a commitment from Arafat to shut down Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups the State Department considers terrorist organizations and give a credible account of the weapons-smuggling incident.
I don’t think Arafat can shut down the Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups and I think that is the problem. I don’t think Arafat is in control any longer.
Ten Most Overrated Quarterbacks of my Generation
- Steve Walsh (Dallas gave up a #1 in 1989 for this guy?)
- Rick Mirer (doh, he was one of my hero’s growing up)
- Steve DeBerg (great stats but disappered in all big games)
- Don Majkowski (4000 yards one year, nothing else for his career)
- Mike Tomzak (was he really better than Jim McMahon)
- Jim McMahon - nothing with out Sweetness
- Jay Schroeder (see #4)
- Phil Simms (Joe Morris and O.J. Anderson carried him)
- Cade McNown, Akili Smith
- Jeff George
Next week I rate the running backs….
