Lack of Activity
So much to BLOG but my right hand is almost numb.
Had to take a couple of days off the keyboard – CTS in right wrist started acting up again, it’s the new computer desk I got a while back that is a shade higher than my old one which means my chair was a bit too low. The mouse is now moved to the left side of the keyboard and switched to a lefty style mouse (sort of fitting I believe) and I’ve acquired new (higher) chair so I should be ready to go again by tomorrow.

Riders Journal
I came across this interesting web journal while reading an article at SFGate.com this evening.
Don’t political phrases like “Care not Cash” just warm your heart all to pieces?

Why does Bush push to silence free speech?
(Toronto Star) — President’s obsession threatens stability around the world
A good article that asks some interesting questions.

Wolf Blitzer Reports
I will watch with interest how Blitzer deals with the discussion of anti-war protestors and treason. Have things gone so far that the right and current U.S. Administration may even consider that protesting government policy or action is treason?

US dirty tricks to win vote on Iraq war
(Guardian Unlimited) — Secret document details American plan to bug phones and emails of key Security Council members.
The United States is conducting a secret ‘dirty tricks’ campaign against UN Security Council delegations in New York as part of its battle to win votes in favour of war against Iraq.
Details of the aggressive surveillance operation, which involves interception of the home and office telephones and the emails of UN delegates in New York, are revealed in a document leaked to The Observer.
The text of the memo can be read here.
I keep asking exactly how far the current U.S. Administration is willing to go in alienating itself from the rest of the world, and every day they manage to go just a little bit further – at what point will they come to the conclusion that they have botched this whole thing and start the work of mending the bridges they have so quickly kicked down over the last couple of months.

Well, we know what Howard thinks now (But do we care?)
New BLOGger on the scene takes offence to one Canadian politicians comments.
(ORACULATIONS) — You Canadians are just sucker fish who swim along side the U.S. whale. Your sole utility is to feed off the barnacles growing on our skin. You mean nothing to us. You’re just there. Every Canadian politician can call us whatever they want and quite frankly it will have all the effect of a pop corn fart at a war.
You need us. We don’t need you. Sell your lumber to Panama, Haiti, or Cuba for rubles or something. Dump your canola oil to Angola. Sell your oil to the Saudis. One day we will pass a law banning your union busting labor practices in the movie business, and then there will be nobody but Hollywood Liberal Producers and movie stars to mourn for you.
Your country imorts Nazi War Ciminals, terrorists, and other scum, all of whom wish they could figure out a way to get into a decent country like the U.S.A. Now you support a genocidal thug in the Mid-East, killer of at least 150,000 of his own people, a user of WMD, and a channel for terrorist attacks on the U.S. You hope they do another 9/11 on us.
It’s the Republicans who are bastards. Me and Hill just want to keep on looking good
No comments feature on the site yet (or even an email link for that matter so I can’t even tell him I’ve linked to his site), hope he figues out how to do it soon – this sort of thing is way to good not to say something about. He needs to be reminded that the U.S. is quite heavily dependent on Canadian energy right now, is more than likely going to be very heavily dependent on our water one day soon, and needs the protection of our flag on a regular basis for vacation purposes.
