Bush talks out of both orifices

Yahoo! News: Bush Faces Obstacles in Free Trade

What obstacles? I think he's doing a great job of killing free trade! 30% tariff on steel imports from Europe, 29% tariff on softwood lumber imports from Canada.

The word "hypocrite" has a new poster child in the dictionary, and it's Dumbya.

Oilers grease skid

To the people who still don't believe me when I try to explain how much Edmontonians and Calgarians hate each other, check this out:

Calgary Sun: Oilers grease skid

'Leave it to the good folks of Edmonton to make life even more gut-wrenching for the Calgarians.

A mere 17 minutes into last night's contest at the Skyreach Centre, perhaps establishing some kind of record, the mischievous northern Albertans serenaded the visitors with a hearty chorus of the Na-na, hey-hey, goodbye song.

Then, just to twist the knife a little, the Oilers in the second period ran a vignette on the scoreboard with a snaggle-toothed dolt in a Flames jersey proclaiming: "I'm from Calgary and I'm stupid."'

Ahhhh... (deep breath, exhale) nothing like a good Calgary joke to start the week off right!

Backup Brain

Backup Brain has the quote of the day:

"There is a ribbon to protest the CBDTPA, but due to the DMCA, it can't be publicized."

(The CBDTPA is the new name of the evil SSSCA bill)

The Anti-Mac Corporate Conspiracy

Thanks to Andrew Jung for this link:

BusinessWeek Online: An Anti-Mac Corporate Conspiracy?

"The rising complexity of workplace computing makes big companies ever more dependent on tech support, so what self-respecting chief information officer is going to recommend a computer -- such as the Mac -- that might shrink rather than expand his department's influence?"

I know people in IT departments who have admitted to me personally that they'd rather keep Windows machines at their place of employment because it keeps them busier and protects their job. Very sad.
