I recently checked the List of Applications Not Compatible with Leopard and saw the Cisco's VPN Client needs to be the most current version, anyone who has had to download the VPN Client knows that it is protected on their site and then after you fill out more forms than needed to get a DoD Top Secret clearance for an Iranian National you come to the fucking discovery that oh you need some other obscure code that you most certainly won't have.
All of this bullshit to download the CLIENT, not the server, the client, I could see the case for not making the server available, I get that but the client, come on.

Fuck you Cisco.

City Council

I think I could win a city council seat with my platform being supported by only two pillars.
1) All jukeboxes will be updated to deliver a shock to anyone who plays "Living on a Prayer" or any song by Jimmy Buffet
2) All elevators will be updated to say "Aaaaaw hell no" and refuse to go the one level for anyone who takes the elevator one floor

Kick Ass

There is a kick ass elderly lady at the cafe, who ordered an espresso, brought in her own two bags of potato chips and hard boiled egg and is now writing in a notebook with a Crayola marker. When I'm in old in five years I want to be that cool.

Maid to Clean, I'd like to apply for the position of VP of Marketing because you should be hiring one as well as looking for a new marketing firm.

Sports

So I've decided that I need to be like most other guys and get really
into sports. I've decided to watch all of them but focus my attention
on one sport in particular. I'm going to focus my attention on the
WNBA, I'm going follow it closely and get totally into it. So this
leaves me with two questions:
1. Where can I find a WNBA jersey?
2. Anyone want to go in on season tickets with me?

How Long

How long before Apple "lets" iTunes rip DVDs so that I it isn't a pain to transfer all of my media to my Apple TV with out jumping through a bunch of hoops?

Leaving DC

I'd like to propose a rule be in place that if your team leaves the
District you loose the rights to claim that name for your team.
So the it would be the Landover Redskins and with DC United making
similar threats they'd have to change their name to the Manassas United.

You've leave the city you loose the right to claim the name.

Test Post

This is test of the blog by email system, were this an actual post
this would be followed by a series of instructions.

I repeat this is only a test

Amen Sister

I could write a book . . .

I totally agree I would like to contribute Chapter 5: The Bike Lane is for Bikes not Joggers and FedEx Trucks.

The American Family Ass, my favorite source of religious comedy, is up in arms because the Architect of the Capitol has decided to actually step up and follow the guidelines for the certificates that come with flags flown at the Capitol, specifically the rule that political or religious messages should not be on the certificates. Of course this has them feeling that the it is yet another example of the "war on Christianity" So I wonder what their response would be if I were able to get certificates that said things like:
Praise Allah
or
There is no god
or
Gay rights now
or
in the year of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

I'm pretty sure they'd be would be complaining that such things should never be allowed.

Lou Dobbs Doesn't Get It

Dobbs: Our flag belongs to all Americans
--
"I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to imagine something as simple as support for our flag and the national values it represents would disqualify anyone from delivering the news, nor in any way confer a higher order of patriotism upon the individual wearing such a pin."

Lou you almost, almost got it but the a MAJOR point you are missing, there is nothing wrong with wearing the American flag on your lapel and there is most certainly nothing wrong with supporting the national values it represents. What you fail to see, is that it has become apparent that many people now simply think that "wearing the flag" makes them patriotic _regardless_ of their actions and that is why the all of the flag waving has gotten a bum rep. As the troops that I support, as much as you do, would surely agree, wearing the uniform isn't what makes one a solider, it is the action that one takes.

Tap, Tap, Tap on Heaven's Door

Larry Craig Won't Resign Despite Judge's Ruling

Were I running his PR team, I'd put out a press release that said "Well at least he's not a pedophile, you hear that Mark Foley?"

If you really feel the need to have a gun that close at ALL times you are either paranoid, living foul or should have a security team.
