"We are safe" says DHS' Chertoff

'We are safe,' says Chertoff - U.S. Security - MSNBC.com

There. He said it. So it must be.

Unless it's an election year. Then, all hell would be breaking loose because, as everybody knows, only the Republicans can save us from paranoia.

Google takes on Michael Moore and his movie Sicko

Google vs Michael Moore

I agree with the author -- Google only stands to lose in a battle against Michael Moore. Oh, sure, they could find that he's looked for "fat, white chicks taking it up the a--" but come on. Nobody would be surprised by that, or anything else for that matter, so the "exposure" would fail in its attempt at embarrassment.

Moore has taken on the biggest and dirtiest and he generally wins. Mostly because what he says has threads, if not entire fabrics, of the truth, but also because he's funny. And ballsy. I'd love to see him take on Google's CEO and ask him, among other things, why he has a yahoo email address.

That one still puzzles me. You've got to at least have a little respect for Microsoft, for they eat their own dog food. Apparently, the google gmail offering is good enough for us schlepps but not for the head of google.


America's Cup delayed due to winds

America's Cup racing delayed due to winds - 02 Jul 2007 - NZ Herald: New Zealand National news

RTFH (read the f-- headline) -- a sail boat race is delayed because of wind. Don't sail boats rely on the wind?

What kind of pussies own these boats that they can't be men enough to go out in rough seas? I watch The Deadliest Catch. Those guys don't puss out when the weather's slightly foul. Why do these rich bastards?
