Fool’s News

GE says it has invented a disc – the same size as a current CD or DVD – that can hold the equivalent of 100 DVDs.  Wow!

Louis Caldera (here too) should lose his job.  It is really as simple as that. 

"Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision," said Louis Caldera, director of the White House Military Office. "While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it’s clear that the mission created confusion and disruption."

Responsibility means you should step down.  There are mistakes that are excusable and those which are not.  This is one of those cases where he should lose his job. 

As NYC Mayor Bloomberg said, "Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo op right around the site of the World Trade Center defies the imagination.  Had we known, I would have asked them not to."

Seriously, to conduct some kind of photo op over what everyone knows to be essentially a "no-fly" zone is assanine.  Do you really need a picture of the fake Air Force One by the Statue of Liberty?  How ridiculous to authorize this "with directives to local authorities not to disclose information about it"?!?

You can check out video of the plane here.

Sen. Chuck Schumer said, "It is absolutely outrageous and appalling to think that the FAA would plan such a photo shoot and not warn the public, knowing full well New Yorkers still have the vivid memory of 9/11 sketched in their minds."

Heads must roll.  Seriously, there must be consequences for idiotic behavior – something more than a forced apology.  Otherwise, there’s no incentive to not be stupid in the future.  At the very least, Mr. Caldera must explain the rationale for directing authorities not to inform the public…at the very least. 

To those of you who believe that Yale University is some kind of bastion of liberalism:  read this.

Also, don’t forget that George W. Bush received a degree from Yale.

It seems like the NY Yankees don’t like people commenting on the flurry of activity surrounding allegations of anabolic steroid (aka "juice") use by Yankees team members.

I received the following email today:

I-90 WILL BE CLOSED THIS WEEKEND ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA. THEY ARE HAULING A 300 TON LUMP OF COAL SO THAT THEY CAN ADD OBAMA TO MT. RUSHMORE.

Ugh.  Here’s why this is ridiculous:

1. Republicans lost.  Let it go.
2. Republicans talk about “crossing party lines” for the good of the country, but they don’t.  They fight and fight and fight.
3. They call investigations into members of the Bush administration’s conduct “retaliation” for the Clinton investigations.  Come on:  You’re seriously comparing investigation into an extra-marital affair with claims of torture, breaking international treaties and violating the Constitution – by the man who takes an oath to protect it.
4. It’s racist.

Ya’ll gotta let it go.  The country got to the state it’s in under the Bush administration.  Let’s give the Democrat’s policies a try.  If they work as badly as the Bush administration’s policies then we’ll consider some third strategy.
