John "One Thing At A Time" McCain For President?

Just watch this first… McCain lies to Letterman about why he can’t be on the show (9/24/2008).

So, McCain has to be in Washington to “save the economy.” Yet, there he is being interviewed, live, with Katie Couric?

Apparently, John McCain has to cancel his campaign because the economy is failing. Isn’t part of being the President being able to handle more than one situation at a time?

I have to say that I was never really a huge fan of David Letterman, but he’s moved right on up there in the “Late Show” favorites category. He really let loose on McCain.

I mean, really? What is McCain thinking? He bails, last minute, on Letterman to do an interview with Couric. He’s suspending his campaign to “save the economy,” and he wants to delay his debate with Obama.

What’s going on here? This doesn’t sound like a “take action” type of man. As the Daily Journal article says…

After all, the leader of the free world may have to meet with congressional leaders to negotiate key legislation, respond to a military flare-up in the Middle East, and then quickly and effectively deal with an economic crisis during any given 48-hour period or less.

Is McCain going to tell the world to “hold on” because there’s too much going on all at once?

I submit that this is not the man we should be looking to as our next President. Letterman makes a great point: Where is Palin in all of this???

Read a book. It’s good for you.

How To Find Torrent Files (Following The Shutdown of IsoHunt.com)

In case you don’t keep up with Tech/Internet news, the Torrent search engine IsoHunt was shut down on Tuesday (1/16/2007). This is just the latest attempt by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association Of America) and the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America) to crack down on “illegal” downloading of content on the internet.

As was stated on SlashDot, playing whack-a-mole with Torrent search engines isn’t going to solve anything.

Yes, there may be illegal content found on these aggregators, but there is also plenty of LEGAL content on them. Just because something can be used to do illegal things, that doesn’t mean that it’s bad. Remember all the fuss that was made over the VCR waaay back when politicians and the MPAA were saying that it could be used to record movies without people having to pay for them? Then it came when the CD-R drive came into being.

Now it’s Torrent files. (Click the link if you’re unfamiliar with what Torrent files are.)

Anyway, enough with my rant. Here’s what I intended on writing this for. You don’t need those Torrent aggregators/search engines to find whatever you’re looking for. All you need is Google. Uh-oh. Are they going to shut down Google now? Because you can find Torrent files with it?

Here’s the way it’s done. Open up Google. In the search box type the following: filetype:torrent “whatever you’re looking for.” That’s it.

Here’s an example.

Well, I hope you enjoy!

Oh yeah, and read a book!

Do "Terrorists" Care Who Wins The Mid-Term Elections?

I have to say, this news story I heard the other day has to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

So according to Dick Cheney (The Vice President), the whole reason the insurgency has stepped up the violence in Iraq is because of the mid-term elections coming up in the United States.

You’ve gotta be kidding me. How stupid does someone have to be to believe that? What is Cheney trying to say? If you don’t vote Republican, you’re a terrorist? C’mon now.

And the reason I put the word “Terrorists” in quotes for the title of this post is because… well, if Canada invaded NY State and we decided we should kill them and take some of them hostage, would we be considered “Terrorists?” No. So why are they considered Terrorists? Defending their own country.

No matter what Canada’s reasons for invading us, in our view, they would be wrong for doing it. Why is it so hard for us to see that in most Iraqis’ eyes, we are wrong for invading them??? It’s got a lot to do with our egocentrism. Most Americans don’t realize that there’s a whole world out there that doesn’t involve us. It’s very true in the Iran situation. And that also speaks to American ignorance.

It’s really funny how easily influenced people are. We’re like puppets. Put something on TV and everyone believes it. If you don’t believe me, just look at what happened with Iraq. We were blindsided by all the lies about WMDs. We believed every single word that spewed out of Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice’s lips. Not to mention the President.

So yeah, I’m sure the “Terrorists” care who wins the mid-term elections. They’re dealing with no electricity, sewage and massive unemployment. I’m sure they give a shit if Randy Kuhl (R) is defeated by Eric Massa (D) in NY. Do they even know what an election is?
