The officials contend that Gonzales' attendance at this meeting is not contradictory to what he has previously said -- that he was not involved in the details of the firings or in selecting the specific

prosecutors. That task was left to Sampson, who has resigned over the controversy.

Seriously. I mean SERIOUSLY.



I won't comment on the investigation. The investigation will flush everything out, but why do we even have a Congress then? If the President says National Security that's the ultimate fuck all to anything Congress says. If the President says no, oh well. Go back to your ... whatever it is you do.



This is so contradictory my head is bout' to aspolde'.



Down the rabbit hole.

WASHINGTON - The White House began floating the names of possible replacements for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Monday as the Justice Department released more internal documents related to the firings of eight U.S. attorneys last year.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) - Republican presidential contender John McCain on Friday used the term "tar baby," considered by some a racial epithet, and later said he regretted it.



[some news site] - 3/16/07

Why is the use of any racial slur in any politicians vocabulary? Who cares if it's used another way? If it might piss off some people... you know, don't use it.



Oh why bother.



bu-u-u-u-t clinton...

They argue for a more sober and reasoned explanation of the uncertainties about possible future changes in the Earth's climate.



[bbc - Caution urged on climate 'risks'] - 3/17/07

I'm still of the position that they might be right, might be wrong. However, if the Global Warming scientists are right, we'd better change our ways quick. Al Gore (omg, enviro-nazi, kill kill kill) had an awesome analogy. "If you throw a frog into a boiling pot of water he'll try to escape, but if you put him into a normal temperature pot of water and gradually increase the heat to boiling he'll stay."



I don't know, even if GW is less than what it seems, I'd like more breathable air, better drinking water, ect ect.



Global Cooling was not a invention of scientists as large. The scientist came up with a theory, and the media overplayed its hand. They might be doing the same thing, but, if the chances are 50/50 (90/10 by resent scientists reports) I think I'd like to err on the side of caution.

I sort of know what's causing the errors in Firefox, I just don't know how to stop them yet. I got the Web Developer plug-in from Mozilla and it seems that all you have to do is disable the referrers. I don't know how to take them out of the HTML or CSS -- or if I even can.



I'll figure it out somehow.

This morning I just went though a shitload of sites that I found that I didn't "need" anymore.



I had some bookmarks that go back to 2001. I've cleaned sites out since 2001, but this was my most comprehensive upkeep since 2005. I'm probably going to delete about 20% more in the coming days.



I don't know why I continuously bookmark some pages. Some I can understand, like a BBS that has been out of commission since 2005... but others? A greenhouse site? I mean, wtf was I thinking?



I might be ready for a big move in my life. This can just be another thing I use to pass the time, so I don't do, you know, actual work.

My favorite (web) comic is Questionable Content.



It is much like Zeek 2.0. The drawer of that comic got burnt out and quit mid-stream when it was getting really interesting. You have a guy who wants a girl and they can't get together even though she likes him too... maybe in "that" way, maybe not. I could be mixing it up, but since I have nothing to do on... that's the major arc.



I like comics like those. I don't know why. You'd think that I'd get sick of them. You think, right? But they are really drawn well. My fav is Joe and Monkey. It doesn't have an arc most of the time, but... wow. Can that guy draw.



I want to draw.



I used to have a bunch of crappily drawn comics on my door. I filled up the door, and my mum tore them down. It went on like that for a few months until I got disinterested in comics, more the drawing. This was around 12-13.



Another day.



More of the same.

I don't remember any president (I've been alive for five, and for Carter I was to young) involved in so much corruption. It is like the Bush Admin goes out of its way to become embroiled in something. Paris Hilton is getting to much air time? We better do a wire tapping scandal.



I don't know what is wrong with my site in Firefox. I may start fixing stuff. I might not, it's the thought that counts right?

I don't know what I want to do.



I have grand visions in my head of what I want to do. But they are abstract. Sort of like Picasso.



In olden times a wanted a bunch of phone lines for my BBS. I also wanted a bigger hard drive, more registered doors (games) and a 6 disk cd-rom for files. None of that ever came to be. Except the door thing, but that was only because I was into the warez (pirated files, argh) toward the end.



Currently, I want to do... nothing. That's not to say I don't have grand dreams. It's sort of like a jigsaw puzzle. I know I want to do it, but do I want to spend the time doing it. My heart says yes, my head says where the fuck is the whiskey.



I want to draw.

I want to write.

I want (in theory) to practice law.



I don't want to spend any of the time doing it.



Writing for this blog is somewhat boring. That's not to say I don't enjoy it, it's just cumbersome. I want so badly for something to take with me, but, I haven't found "it" yet.

When is "I don't care" an answer?



I was having a heated argument with my friend the other day(other being a week ago because this message sat in my blog window languishing). More like he was having a heated argument with me and I was saying I don't care. The argument was about whether or not I understood why he did what he did. The what he did is inconsequential to this piece. "This" could be anything. From me understanding why he worked on his car to me understanding why he enjoyed making crocheted hats for figurines.



As he often does, he was making poor analogies and changing or adding terms to the discussion and when I called him on it... well, it doesn't really matter. Arguments usually go from point A to B to C to AC to BX without any of the arguments being solved.



Sample;



me: I don't care.



him: It doesn't matter, it's either a yes or no question



me: No, I'm neutral. I could care less.



him: It isn't a neutral question, you either understand or don't understand.



me: Well, since I could care less, there's your neutral answer.



It goes on... and on... and on.



It's like religion. Overly religous people often have an us against them mentality. You're either with me, or against me. Anything neutral is against them. There is no compromise. Likewise, there is usually never any compromise with him.



Example. A woman is trying on dresses and she asks her husband whether the dress she's wearing looks nice on her. Aside from the fact anything the man might say will lead to an argument, he doesn't care. Why doesn't he care? It's not relevant to him. If he had a vested interest in the dress, I don't care wouldn't have been an answer.



While me saying yes or no would have placated him, I felt well within my own bounds to basically say I don't give a flying fuck.



That doesn't mean I don't care about him, or don't care about the issue in general. It just means I don't feel the issue has significant relevance to me. I can see many different issues for and against his choice, but in the end I don't care about his choice because I'll probably never be in that situation.



The world is rarely black and white, but to him the inverse is true.
