Some people say the United States behaves like a world bully. There's a term for those people: Morons. Pampered morons but morons nevertheless. Let us pretend that in 1944 when Roosevelt died that his Vice President was actually I. Bully. He was actually the genetic twin of Adolph Hitler. And as World War II came to a close, he instituted a policy of world bullyism. What would he have done and what could have been done about it? 1945: The entire population of Japan is exterminated.

Islamic terrorists like Osama Bin Laden write an open letters to the American people advising them to eliminate the homosexuals from society. This is one of the demands Al Qaeda has if we want them to stop attacking us. The same people who then would protest American military action against these hateful bigots then turn around and become amazingly intolerant of Christians who oppose gay marriage on religious grounds.

But from their kids just like I probably somehow got mine from my kids. Kids are plague bags! Yuck though as I just can't wait to going back to eating solid food.

The new Tomb Raider game, Angel of Darkness is garbage. Total crap. No legitimate magazine could possibly have played the game and concluded that this was a good game. So what did the game mags say? Did they let us down and shill for a big publisher? Or did they tell it straight? I'm happy to say that they told us the truth! PC Gamer: 47% Computer Gaming World: 1.5 stars Gamespy: 52 Gamespot: 6.1. A bit high but still... This bodes well for gamers. Trust in the game mags is crucial ...

When Nintendo wanted to to encourage their customers to register with them, they came up with a novel idea: Let users create a Nintendo desktop. So Nintendo licensed Object Desktop Lite which includes WindowBlinds + IconPackager + WinStyles integrated together.
