"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Queen Pelosi

It looks like her highness Nancy Pelosi is again going to bypass the United States Constitution and try to act as head of state. She tosses the United States Budgeting software into the ringer and takes another expensive trip overseas trying to be president. The Constitution does not provide this authority. If she would like to act as head of state, all she has to do is run for president, and well win.

Please stop trying to be something you are not Nancy and just be the speaker and do something worthwhile that does not bring this country down.

The Tyranny of American Politicians.

Thank you Dictator of the Proletariat Herr Bush, Comrades of the Senate, and the esteemed Comrades in the HOR (Pronounced WHORE).

It looks like I may be terrorist. And all I want is sudafed for a headache and sinus problems. Under the 2005 Patriot Act, the comrades made it a requirement to have my photo ID taken and written down every time I have a sinus headache.

So I think things will get better? I do not think so. If the Democrats really wanted to do anything they will repeal this law. Then I may think they are different.

The Tyranny of an Out of Control Justice System

The Tyranny of an Out of Control Justice System

Well I just learned of this today, Matt Bandy. Here is a 16 year old kid who was on the verge of being labeled a sex-offender for the rest of his life.

Think of this for a moment for all if you who have a computer in your house and just surf the web. You too can end up like Matt. Poor Matt, surfed the web and picked up little programs, generally termed spyware, that effectively took control of his computer. One (or more) of these spyware downloaded some porn, and child porn at that, to his computer. The police tracked the child porn to the family house and Matt's computer had all these nasty little pictures on it.

Okay, child porn is bad and should not be allowed to exist. Those who take the pictures and purchase the pictures should be shot. However, Ward and June's computer that has been infected by spyware that is storing child porn on the hard drive should not be convicted of anything other then gross incompetence on a computer.

I will say this . . . if you are going to purchase a computer for the home buy a Macintosh or a Linux machine. If you purchase a wintel based machine you are asking for trouble.

This child found himself in a nightmare from spyware. He was on edge of being convicted when 20/20 came to the rescue. Matt was convicted of showing a Playboy to his friends. I will admit I am glad for the statue of limitations.

I would hope that the governor of Arizona or George Bush will pardon this poor kid as well the teacher from CT. Arizona and other states please provide some training for police in how computers actually work.
