“Geek test two!”
Thanks to M A R G E at the FishTank for this wonderful birthday gift.
Now I don't have to figure out a way to convert my IJN Yamato model into

This weekend: Baltimore Comic Con! Hope to see you there. Bring money!
“But Jimmy has fancy plans, and pants to match.”
I said it once. I have to say it again: Our nation is poorer with George W Bush as president. He comes on TV and admits it. The state of the economy is ill. He says its been feeling this way for years. But a quick booster shot of money will fix it?
Didn’t he say this back in March 2003 to Iraq? It’s time to call his bluff. Why should we believe a word he’s saying. Your telling me the best and brightest in the corporate world can’t figure out a way to get their ass out of this mess? How’d they get us into this mess?
Our nation will be poorer still with a Republican as the next president.

“Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.”
Wording in the proposal from Treasury Secretary Paulson for the Big Bailout
“I asked for French fries, not frozen potato planks placed in the general vicinity of some warm grease.”

The Big Bailout is only helping those who caused the problem, and it’s going to be supervised by the same people who for the last year have been saying the financial crisis has been contained, in other words, the same people who don’t know jack.
Thanks, Republicans. The political party that preaches fiscal responsibility is the most fiscallyist responsible! The FUCK they are! They also have been scaring the populous about the “Dems going to raise taxes.” Under whose watch again did this massive spending come from? Who’s going to pay? How are we going to pay? TAXES! Makes you wonder if this isn’t some plot by the Republicans to hobble the government with debt then point out that the government can’t run properly. That’s just plain incompetence on that political party. They have no right to even run for dog catcher.
If only you can also get a helping hand from the government. Let’s dump our bad investments on the people. You have that Milli Vanilli CD? Get the government to pay you for it. The best part is they will gladly pay top dollar for it. It’s worth hundreds!!!

Hiking the Dug Trail
Originally uploaded by browsermetrics.
This past weekend was spent in the woods, literally and figuratively. We were in West Virginia at a resort called, The Woods, which is in the woods. We spent time hiking and site seeing. Hiking on this short hike up the side of a rather tall hill. I think it was 600 vertical feet up. Since I stopped biking in August, that was the most exercise done in a while.
Anyway, more pictures on my flickr account. Soon, I will be posting my ghost hunting photos from Harper’s Ferry. 🙂

Link of the Day [9.23.08]It's getting to be that time again. Perhaps, a new blogger template?
Or maybe a move to a real domain and my own garden in the intrawebs.
Anyway, there are some cool color palettes from a Van Gogh painting to
choose. If you don't like 'em, there's more at the main site.
Obviously, I want something in a darker theme, perhaps, "Starry Night."http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2008/09/20/van-gogh-and-the-colors-of-t

"Charlie has hit every major military target In Vietnam, and hit 'em
hard. In Saigon, the United States Embassy has been overrun by suicide
squads. Khe Sahn is standing by to be overrun. We also have reports that
a division of N.V.A. has occupied all of the city of Hue south of the
Perfume River. In strategic terms, Charlie's cut the country in half…
the civilian press are about to wet their pants and we've heard even
Cronkite's going to say the war is now unwinnable. In other words, it's
a huge shit sandwich, and we're all gonna have to take a bite."Lt. Lockhart (John Terry), "Full Metal Jacket"
