RE: Bush Agrees to Let Rice Testify Publicly |

My complain is Bush's decisions are based seemly *entirely* on public opinion. He didn't think Rice testifing was important until after the media reamed him for a week. Bush kept moving the Exit date from Iraq earlier and earlier the more soldiers died. A man who makes policy based on opinion polls is not a man to be President. That statement applies to all candidate or officals. I see this as president bush flip-flopping on an issue. Of course this isn't an original thought, Terry Neal at the washington post has a great article listing president bush's flip-flops at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41610-2004Apr1.html I doubt the white house will see this as hypocrisy and stop attacking john kerry, but we can always hope.

Six members of two restless clans called the Street Ninjas and Gravity Pac circled each other at Grand Central Terminal last Sunday. ... Satisfied, they started clasping hands, knocking elbows and throwing down French slang. The spread of parkour into the woods of Georgia and the deserts of Arizona occurred almost entirely through the boundlessness of Internet message boards. "The American scene is a sleeping Joe at the moment," he said, adding that it is only a matter of time before an American leader emerges. "You need an open mind, and away you go."

Thats right - since there apparently never WERE any, just move the goal posts and make the whole WMD thing out to be one big joke! Guess those 600 (and rising) BODY BAGS of US soldiers that have been coming home in a steady stream for the last 12 months are a joke too? B.A.S.T.A.R.D. -LB Bush pokes fun at himself at dinner |

PhreakNIC, for those of you raised by wolves, is an annual technology and culture exhibition (the kinder, gentler name for "Hacker Convention") in Nashville, TN. This year's event is all over, except for a few blood tests that we're still awaiting results on, but if you missed it you can catch some of the events through the video feeds. Wilpig was nice enough to set up a recorder on ConTV, but unfortunately it crashed a couple of times. Some of the best attended talks were lost. Seriously, just download the .avi files, as they are smaller (DiVX Format) and have been edited. The raw .wmv files are labeled based on the original schedule, not the actual execution of such schedule. For instance, the cable feed wasn't set up for the Welcome, so if you download it you'll be cursing at the fact that you have an hour of Nashville Tourism commercials.
