These people remind of the radicals here. Nothing is too stupid or outrageous, as long as it somehow ends up blaming Bush. derby378: Hurricane Katrina proves that Bush must be IMPEACHED, and NOW. Just watch the FReepers howl: "Do the DUmmies think Bush can prevent hurricanes? Will they claim he LIHOP'ed Katrina like they claim he LIHOP'ed 9/11?" No President can prevent a hurricane, but a competent President can prepare for the inevitable so that, when a natural di...

This is for you people who love polls. "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan's Bush-bashing protest has apparently backfired, with a slight plurality of Americans saying her antics have actually made them more likely to support the Iraq war, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday. Seventy-nine percent of those surveyed said Sheehan has had no impact on how they view the Iraq war. But 10 percent say the tart-tongued Californian, who blames Israel for terrorism and said...

Despite rumors to the contrary, but in keeping with the schedule I first published on the SuperSite for Windows months ago, Microsoft is planning to ship Windows Vista Beta 2 in late 2005, not in early 2006. According to internal documentation I recently reviewed, Vista Beta 2 is scheduled to be "feature complete" by September 29, 2005. Then, Vista Beta 2 will enter lockdown mode between October and November 9, 2005. After that date, Beta 2 will be in escrow. Microsoft now plans to ship Win...

I was just reading through some old posts and came across the postings of our resident radicals here. These posts are the usual "blame everything on oil" lunatics that believe the war in Iraq was to get cheap oil. Now the leftists try to say Iraq was an "oil war" and constantly talk about the suffering of the Iraqis because of the war. As usual the liberals have selective outrage. We see the U.N. was in the middle of the biggest scams in history involving oil. We see the people of Iraq ...

Now it appears that WinFS has been given a reprieve, and could make an appearance alongside Windows Vista. WinFS preview code, possibly a first beta release, is expected to be issued to developers at Microsoft's PDC 2005. The company has also scheduled four WinFS-related sessions for the PDC. Sources are reporting to Microsoft Watch that WinFS is also on track with efforts to back-port the technology to Windows XP. Vista's other fundamentals, Avalon and Indigo, were ported to XP to ensur...

Speculation abound late Monday regarding Google's oft-rumored plans to launch an instant messaging network that would compete with AOL, MSN and Yahoo. The New York Times reported that a Google communications service would launch Wednesday, and the LA Times confirmed it would go by the name "Google Talk." Although such rumors have long proliferated throughout the Internet and are usually taken with a grain of salt, Google has activatedtalk.google.com. In addition, a messaging service util...

I just got my "self-installation" kit with for my new DSL connection. The service doesn't come on till tomorrow though. Reading through the installation guide it says the telephone cable from the jack to the modem shouldn't be more than 10 feet long. Is this correct? My desk is about 25 ft. away from the jack.

My wife is thinking about letting me get a Mac Mini. I mean I'm going to buy a Mac Mini soon. I have a Viewsonic LCD which I have connected to my desktop with a dvi cable. I have been looking at a lot of KVM's and I notice most don't have dvi connections, and the one's that do are very expensive. I have never had a KVM before, so I'm looking for suggestions or advice.

I wonder what the liberals who blame Bush for not stopping Sept. 11 have to say about this. Nothing probably. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 - State Department analysts warned the Clinton administration in July 1996 that Osama bin Laden's move to Afghanistan would give him an even more dangerous haven as he sought to expand radical Islam "well beyond the Middle East," but the government chose not to deter the move, newly declassified documents show.

Will the left realize that terrorism was made worse by democrats? It was in October of 2003 that Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger stole classified documents from the National Archives and destroyed some. Mr. Berger allegedly was studying documents in the archives to help prepare Clinton officials to testify before the September 11 Commission. Was he removing references to Able Danger? Someone should ask him before he is sentenced next month. After having first deni...

This is the second post like this because the first one nobody seemed to provide any proof of the accusations against Bush. So today as usual we have the col with his usual post of "Bush lied" rhetoric. So here in this post I want document, verifiable proof that Bush intentionally lied, or misled the people. No conspiracy theories, no rhetoric. As well you can also post proof that he didn't lie. Let's begin.
