Why can't I let this rest? I don't know...

Templar is once again at it. He keeps talking about how "Iraq can't be asked to prove a negative" in regards to how Iraq should prove itself disarmed. I wrote this reply, and I think it's pretty good.

Iraq can prove the "negative", as you put it, by showing the records of it's destruction! When dealing with WMD, trust me, records are kept of the record-keeping records!

Show me Bob Dobilina's signature saying that he, personally, was present at the destruction. Let's talk to Bob. Let Bob show me the site they were destroyed. Then, let Bob introduce me to Dave Smith, who took the remains to the scrapyard. See, this is Dave's signature. Let's talk to the scrapyard manager, and corrolate his records with Bob's records.

And, two signatures are required, on documents regarding WMD. The two-man rule: Never be alone. EVER!

In a silo, you HAVE TO be wthin sight of your teammates. If you're on a two-man team, and one of you needs to get a screwdriver, topside - guess what? You're BOTH going up. A wicked PITA - but an absolutely nessesary rule.

When you destroy a Tamper Detection Indicator (TDI), you need to record the serial numbers, burn the TDI, and have two signatures of the two people present at the burning. You then turn the records in at KCCC where the officers there will record your records, and file them away.

A TDI is a holographic sticker. A freakin' sticker.

Don't even start to tell me that Iraq didn't keep those type of records! We're talking WMD - not a DVD you lent a friend. Don't even go there!

BTW - I keep a record of all the DVDs I lend. A control-freak like Saddam would like a little bit of accountability regarding his weapons of mass destruction!

So, now the makers of videogame consoles - that play the most violent videogames ever rendered - are a bunch of peaceniks?

Sony. Wow. "No war. Please"

A ruthless, crazy dictator, who has invaded a soveriegn country, should not be forced to disarm himself of clearly offensive weaponry? 12 years of UN resolutions are ignored, and all is well?!

These pacifists are amazing! I am shocked beyond words!

After hearing some people Templar argue against war only strengthens my own viewpoints. It seems to me that eveyone in America who is against the war, is against any war - and that's rediculous.
The other countries that stand in the way of making the UN a meaningful institution have vested interests in Iraq, like France, Germany, Russia and China.

The US wants to negotiate with N. Korea less than a year after learning about it's nuke programs - and the world is looking to the US to step up to the plate and deal with it alone.

The US wants to militarily disarm Iraq after 12 years of deception, and the world says, "No war, please."


But to hear a Japanese company throw their two cents into the well is... bizarre. It's more bizarre than the credence America vests Hollywood actors with - and that is really, really wierd!

Let's see how many anti-war commercials Sony runs when the US refuses to disarm North Korea after 12 years of negotiations. Sony can sit there baking under the sun above their fault lines and wait for N. Korea to start lobbing nukes. What? Did the warhead sailing over your head not rattle some sense into you? Did they do that 'cause it was cool? Did they do it as a joke? How did the Japanese government react? Hmm... they didn't much care for it! It was a direct statement that said, "We can hand your ass to you."

George Washington once said "To be prepared for war is the most effectual means to promote peace." Well, if the UN fails to act upon it's threats of war, it shows the world that the UN is NOT prepared for war. Luckily for the future peace of the United States, President Bush does not seem to be taking this lying down. We shall see.

Heh... this just in Japan ready for N. Korea attack I guess Japan is taking George Washington's advice.

I've been tinkering with the raw HTML, again.

Have you ever been inside a hall of mirrors?

How the hell do I stumble upon these things?
Holy crap.
Bigger. Balder. Better Sunglasses.

I recently joined Netflix . Schweet. There are a billion movies I'd love to see, and now that my job is reduced to surveillance, I could actually get to see them.

For starters, I hit up Roger Ebert's Great Movies list. Nice. That alone should make good use of Netflix.

Here's a horror story:
I get some guy knocking on my door selling a coupon book with free Blockbuster rentals. The book is $25, and there are 12 free new-release rental coupons. A no-brainer, right? Not if you're me.

I have spent a fortune on the goddamned late fees! What is my malfunction?! Whatever it turns out to be, I need it fixed ASAP.

Well, for $20 I get to build a list of movies I want to see! And there are NO LATE FEES! If I want to keep a movie, I keep the thing. If I don't, I ship the thing off in it's pre-stamped envelope, and get the next one!

Perfect for a tool like me!

I don't want to sound like an ad for Netflix, or anything, but Netflix sounds like a blessing. I've heard everyone rave about Netflix, for quite a while, but another bill was keeping me back. WHATEVER! I should have joined Netflix years ago!

Thank goodness for Netflix!

This pipe goes straight to the fryolator at Red Lobster.

Wow. Thanks to Mr. Furious for the link to the America's Army game site.

You have got to be in awe of the fact that the greatest army in the world actually had soldiers on the payroll with the mission to create a kick-ass game. I can't believe that! What's even more amazing is that the game really does kick ass!
Next thing you know the Green Berets will be replaced by a bunch of Ender Wiggins'. Boo ya!

Apparently, one of the project leaders of America's Army got called off to serve in Operation: Enduring Freedom - and he kept a web log of his experiences.

When I joined the Air Force, I was very vigilant for signs that I joined the Imperial Navy by mistake. I even kept a small diary during boot camp. My notes are exactly like Scorpion's blog.

It's funny what catches your eye, especially when you're looking for things to catch your eye. The look of military forms and buildings. The different mannerisms of people. The smell of GI pine-sol and boot polish. The feel of scratchy wool blankets and heavily starched uniforms.

I loved every bit of my experience in the Air Force, and recommend it to anyone. Weather you're looking for Uncle Sam to foot your college bill or, like me, you find yourself with three years of computer science asking people if they'd like paper or plastic, you can't go wrong with the military.

Well, avoid the socialized health care of the military, if you can.

I am so confused... I wonder how long it will tke me to figure it out?

I don't get this...
What use does the post so... is this thing on? serve?
Bear with me, folks. This is real-time.

Wow. I like this template.
I'm looking over the format of the HTML... it's not difficult, I just need more time to stare & compare. This is turning into a pretty cool tool/project.

Who knows? I might join Godmoney at Aterna Web Design.
Or maybe not.

(a freakin' typo kept me from linking Godmoney's site!!!)

Whoo... another boring night. I hate these overnighters. Working 4pm-midnight actually isn't bad - but this midnight-8am is for the birds.

Well, I did play around with HTML, last night. The format looks fine, and I added the links off to the right, but now there's a million iterations of the page. I don't get it. I'm gonna mess around some more.
