Heroes Not Welcome

Berkeley, Calif. tells Marines "Fuck Off".

The Marines have been in Berkeley for a little more than a year, having moved from Alameda in December of 2006. For about the past four months, Code Pink has been protesting in front of the station.

"I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don't belong here, they shouldn't have come here, and they should leave," said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates after votes were cast

Giuliani Out + WHB

Rudy Giuliani has dropped out of the race.

And unless Mike Huckabee can pull off a miracle on Tuesday he'll be gone as well and I won't be voting in this election.

And to kill two birds with one stone, I want to remind everyone to check out the Wednesday Hero Blogroll. There are a lot of blogs signed up for your reading enjoyment.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Good Hosting Site

If you've been looking for a free hosting site, you should check out Ripway. I use them for the Wednesday Hero posts and other things. Free memberships get 30MB storage and 150MB daily downloads. I guess that's like your daily bandwidth. Not sure. But if you're looking to host small videos, music, a favicon or any type of file it's a pretty good one.

Cool Blogger Hack

If you've been blogging for a few years, like myself, then your Archive of posts on your site is more than likely long. I found this site that tells you how to put your Archives into a drop down menu. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to see what it looks like. And it only works with Blogger. Now, I'm looking for a way to expand long posts. I use to have one a couple of years ago but can't find that code any more.

Three Little Pigs Offensive To Muslims And Asians In England

A story based on the Three Little Pigs has been turned down from a government agency's annual awards because the subject matter could offend Muslims.

The digital book, re-telling the classic fairy tale, was rejected by judges who warned that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues".

This isn't Muslim's doing. This is a bunch of whiny, ass Liberals with no backbones. Can you image if people were to ban everything that could be offensive to someone? "Yes Virgina, There Is A Santa Claus". "Are You There God? It's Me, Margret". Grand Theft Auto. Grey's Anatomy. Celine Dion? All politicians? Huh. Maybe there is something to be said for banning offensive material after all.

RECESSION

We're in trouble. It's all going down hill. It's all Bush' fault.

Here's something you won't hear on the 6 o'clock news with Katie Couric or Brian Williams. The economy was actually making strides and was on the rebound. Then, about a year and a half ago Democrats took control of Congress. Then, for some reason, it all started to go to Hell.
