Pardon the brief rant, but I’m tired of the airtime these Republican wonks are getting for the excrement they’re spewing. Minneapolis/St. Paul appear to have been turned into a police state, where peaceful protesters are attacked, and where legally booked concerts are harassed and shut down . But none of this should surprise us...
The Republican party, under the leadership W. has become the party of fear. Ironically, while they spew forth hateful language and issueless rhetoric trying to induce fear, they are the ones who are afraid. The outright mocking and oppression of opposing views proves that their owns beliefs are so shaky that they cannot bear anything contrary.
On this neophyte Palin, there is so much irony and hypocrisy that it should churn the stomachs of every voting American. She represents much that is wrong with this country, insomuch as she very clearly self-identifies as a soccer/hockey mom with a bad attitude who thinks the way to be heard is to dictate...

When Republicans are a major cause of the economic crisis with through regulation-free markets and the long term costs of war, the Republicans cannot run on their record. Even on the state level, led by the veto-pen Republican governor, Republicans blocked interventions to fix foreclosure problems, starved education funding, and traded low cost transportation maintenance into high cost replacement. Even Republicans are realizing that tax reductions are no help when the economy is tanking becaus... more
“The Republican Bail-out Plan is like insurance for a dead man”

Â
I have found no information on-line on the specifics of the Republican alternative bail-out plan, what I was able to do was watch a press conference held by the Republican House Caucus a few minutes ago.
Â
What they said in general was that they were going to offer a freemarket solution:

Offer government backed insurance policies for the mortgages held by fi... more
I wonder what they’ll discuss. In related news, Pelosi has responded : "We delivered on our end of the bargain...but the legislation has failed. The Republican caucus has not gotten the message. The crisis remains."
Update : Bushie says, "We put forth a plan that was big because we got a big problem...we’re going to attack this head on." ... more
I’m working on a few other posts for this week, but have not had adequate time to form them. So, until that time (soon, I hope), here are a few of the things I’ve read over the past week that I’ve found interesting. Topics range from cool new technology (a UV water purifier pen) to security solutions to risk management discussions to tips for learning guitar on the web to a scholarship opportunity from ISC2 for post-grad research.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
As I’ve recently noted , the information security industry seems to be stagnated. We’ve come a long way from the old days of "security==firewall" - and yet, it strikes me that we still aren’t really getting all that much done. As a consultant, it can be very frustrating to realize one’s own mortality; we aren’t able to play Superman in all situations. When we succeed in moving a mole hill cum mountai... more
My two favorite seasons, in order of preference, are Fall and Spring. There’s nothing like the cool, crisp air and the colors of the foliage to put the mind at ease come September/October/November (depending on where you live). Spring, on the other hand, often means a return of sunshine, warmth, and the colors of trees and flowers blooming everywhere. Unfortunately, in addition to being colorful, both of these seasons share another attribute (on the East Coast, anyway): sme... more
According to CNN.com , the Air Force will be retiring the F-117 Night Hawk "stealth" fighter in April. It’s astonishing to me that this beauty has been in the fleet for more than a quarter century. As Dad always says, "If this is what the Pentagon will admit to owning, imagine what they’re hiding." This deserves a round of Auld Lang Syne , methinks.... more
