I recently discovered a cool time-waster on the intertubes.

Wikipedia has the most comprehensive “This Day In History” collection that I’ve seen. I was surprised by today’s entry (April 20th).

There were major, commercial plane crashes on April 20th of 1967, ’68, ’78, and ’98. Is it just me, or is that statistically remarkable?!

The other major event from April 20th was the Colombine massacre. Do you remember were you were when you got the news? I was sitting in Computer Algorithms class at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs (less than an hour away from the school). My friend Bryce Webster, the first person I knew who owned a PDA, told me after he had read it on a news feeder.

Remember a while back when there was a sudden change in airport security? UK police did some kind of raid and then all the airlines announced that you couldn’t bring your shampoo or mouthwash on the plane. Remember thinking, “What the heck? I can only carry 2 ounces of head and shoulders on the plane?!”

Well, the details are finally coming out. The Coke Bottle Bombers are now on trial in London.

Click for the full story.

Scariest quote:

The eight men were almost ready to execute their plan to bring down seven aircraft simultaneously in mid-air as they flew from London to the United States and Canada when they were arrested.

I’ll bet donuts to dollars that these guys were caught with some of the surveillance methods The Bomber and his ACLU buddies want to make illegal.

Your tax dollars at work, subverting the law, this time in Arizona.

A woman passes herself off as a pregnant 15-year-old. Her and her “young friend” tell the PP counselor that her “boyfriend” is 27. The counselor then tells her to keep that information secret when she goes before a judge to get a “judicial bypass”, which, by Arizona law, allows a minor to get an abortion without her parents finding out.

Arizona law requires PP to report this statutory rape to the police. The fictitous 27-year-old is guilty of felony rape. But PP would rather get that baby killed then report the abuse of a 15-year-old girl.

Cuz, you know, they care so much.

Continuing my thoughts from the other day, the more rocks one turns over in D.C. the more democrats one can find trying to hide their money under them.

I did a late update that some of you may have missed, linking to a post that links to several more stories of high-powered Liberals evading the taxes they so desperately want you and I to pay more of.

Something to consider on this topic: If you or I don’t pay our taxes, we generally go to jail, or end up paying crippling fines and interest rates. I myself had a tax debt when I was young and in order to pay off the debt over time, the IRS generously gave me a 25% interest rate. My first several payments were interest only.

But for tax and spend politicians, or even an unelected Liberal talking heads, all we ever hear are excuses followed by complete forgiveness. “It was an honest mistake.” Hands washed, books balanced, now move on.

Don’t believe me? Please check out this article outlining oodles of such cases.

Oh, by the way, Tom Daschle bowed out this afternoon, along with yet another tax dodging Bronco Bomber appointee.

Bronco’s “new era of responsibility” is crumbling faster than the roads and bridges of America (if you buy into his “failing infrastructure” garbage).

Are there any high-powered democrats who do pay their taxes? Cuz, you know, they sure are excited about make sure we pay even more. You’d kinda think they’d be willing to pay their own.

Running theory is that Caroline Kennedy dropped out of NY Senate race because of unpaid taxes.

Tom Daschle, Health and Human Services secretary pick, “deeply embarrassed” about $128,000 in “errors” on his taxes.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner failed to pay $34,000 in Social Security and Medicare taxes. (But he still got the job of… yes… enforcing tax collection on the rest of us! Wha?!)

And the funny thing is how little traction these stories got in the MSM. I mean, they keep saying how “fair and balanced” they are, right? It’s those wackos over on Fox News who are partisan. Right? Mm hmm.

[Edit: This guy has an even longer list of names and links.]

Obamagasm – Conspicuous and unabashed worship showered on the newly elected President Bronco Bomber, particularly among Liberal media and black racists.

How long with the obamagasm last? If it’s more than a few days, I’m canceling my cable and putting my TV on the curb.

Clicky!

Mover your mouse around. click. Even click and drag the little dude. Then try out the settings menu on the right. Really truly seriously amazing.

This is an actual, non-photochopped photo from a pro-Palestinian rally in New York Monday.

Dude! Why is everybody hatin’ on the juice? (For those of you who did not wear diapers in the 90’s, here’s a little flash back.) All we want is to wheez the juice!!

I read about a new CSS framework (still in beta) that’s supposed to help you standardize your site and make CSS management easier. That’s great. But heres what makes it blog worthy.

“SenCSs stands for Sensible Standards CSS Framework, but if you want, you can pronounce it ‘sense’, which makes it sound pretty cool.”

SenCSs stands for … wait, what? S.S.C.S.S.F. and you came up with SenCSs??! See. This is why engineer types (like me) have such a hard time taking art types seriously.

Dude! You can’t go just making up non-acronyms like that just because it “sounds pretty cool.” Come on!!

“Hi. My name is Kevin, spelled G-I-W-7-@-Y-[clicking noise].”

“Nice to meet you Kevin. You must be an art major. Here’s your paper hat. Don’t touch the hot fry grease, mkay?”

Seriously though, check out SenCSs and see if it makes SENSE for your site.

I hope you watched the Mona Lisa Project video I linked to yesterday. Yesterday the news broke that Planned Murderhood fired the employee from the first video, because, of course, this was an isolated incident, yada, yada, not policy, blah, blah, lies, lies lies.

Today, the project released a second video, featuring a second Planned Murderhood clinic, filmed in a different town on the same day as the first, and not one, but two employees pretending to ignore the ages claimed by the undercover girl.  “I don’t want to know the age.” This comes from both employees when the girl claims to 13 and empregnated by a 31-year-old “boyfriend.”

“We don’t really care about … the age of the boyfriend. It’s consensual. It’s your choice.”

Wow. At 13? It’s consensual? It’s your choice? These people are either completely stupid, or purely evil.
