<p>You NEED to watch Jon Stewarts impassioned RIP on Congress, specifically Congressman Cliff Stearns, regarding the Zadroga Bill.</p>
<p>Basically, before 911 first responders can get money for the cancers and other illness they have gotten from responding to the most heinous attack on American soil in 50 years, they have to be checked against the terrorist watch list.</p>
<p>i can&#8217;t do justice to explaining why this is such asshattery.  Congressman Henry Waxman is an asshat too.  He&#8217;s always an asshat so, as a Republican myself, I&#8217;m mostly concerned with the asshattery of Cliff Stearns, 911 first responder hater.</p>
<p>When I first saw the video of Jon Stewart going off, <span style="position:relative;color:white;width:150px;background:green;border-width:  2px 2px 2px 2px ;border-style: solid;border-color: 3A7CAC;filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;float:right;padding: 0.2em; margin: 1em;font-family:Verdana,Arial, Helvetica,Georgia;font-size: 24px;line-height:26px; text-align: right;"><span style="filter:alpha(opacity=75);-moz-opacity:.75;opacity:.75;">I </span><b> </b>could <br><b></b>see <br><b>in </b>his <br><b>eyes that </b>he <br><b>wasn&#8217;t </b>fucking<span style="filter:alpha(opacity=90);-moz-opacity:.90;opacity:.90;"> around</span></span>I could see in his eyes that he wasn&#8217;t fucking around.  I think that if there wasn&#8217;t a studio audience to laugh and provide feedback, Jon would have either cried or seriously used the word &#8220;fuck&#8221;, several orders of a magnitude, more than he did.</p>
<p>WATCH THE VIDEOS.  THIS is what&#8217;s wrong with our country.</p>

<p>In a discussion regarding a planned military buildup on the Pacific island, Johnson expressed some concerns about the plans to Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet.</p>
<p>&#8220;My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,&#8221; Johnson said. Willard paused and replied, &#8220;We don&#8217;t anticipate that.&#8221;<br />

<p>If you know anything about Neil Armstrong then you know it&#8217;s uncharacteristic for him to speak publicly much, let alone come out with both guns blasting.  While I think &#8220;blasting&#8221; and &#8220;rebuke&#8221; are a little harsh for what I read of Armstrong&#8217;s comments, I came away after reading them with a sense of pride and disgust.</p>
<p><b>Pride </b>when I think of the accomplishments of men like Neil Armstrong, James Lovell and Gene Cernan and <b>total disgust</b> at men like Barack Obama.  President Obama seems determined to drag America down to mediocrity and for a man like Neil Armstrong to write this letter says volumes about what people MUCH better and more accomplished think.</p>
<p>Go read the article after this clip:</p>

<p>Armstrong, along with astronauts James Lovell and Eugene Cernan, called the proposal “devastating” in a letter obtained by NBC News. Read below for the full text:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like I&#8217;m not alone in <a href="http://www.theminorityreport.org/2010/humans-are-stupid-so-suspend-democracy/">my opinion</a>, based on the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/mar/29/james-lovelock-climate-change">Guardian article</a> on <a href="http://www.jameslovelock.org/">James Lovelock</a>, that he is a socialistic idiot.</p>
<blockquote cite="http://blog.quinthar.com/2010/03/nobody-cares-about-client-change.html" title="Quinthar: Nobody cares about client change... (a David Barrett blog)"><p>Anybody who calls<br />
for a suspension of the worlds&#8217; democracies in order to fight climate<br />
change is an idiot. Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8212; it&#8217;d take that (and more) to<br />
actually do anything about it. But the rational response to that<br />
scenario isn&#8217;t to call for the impossible (and thus brand yourself<br />
irrational), but to say &#8220;There&#8217;s probably nothing humanity can do to<br />
stave off climate change, so let&#8217;s just plan on it occurring and prepare.&#8221;<br />

<p>I suppose it&#8217;s not entirely the end users fault, they are trained to not touch the computers or computer related equipment but some of them just seem to removed their brains at the same time.  Why does IT have to move printers, monitors and keyboards?  Why do we have to unpack the damned boxes or carry the boxes around??  Why can&#8217;t users replace their own goddamed TONER!??!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to quit here because I feel a significant IT vs. the world rant coming on&#8230;<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

<p>My friends in the IT Administration industry and I have an ongoing joke about writing an extremely detailed email, outlining the problem in plain English, trying to anticipate, after 15+ years as a professional in the industry, the questions the email will raise and try to outline the ramifications of the email to all end users involved.  Using double spaced text, Verdana, so it can be read, lots of whitespace and a few cartoons to lesson the impact.</p>
<p>No matter what, they just won&#8217;t stop calling with the same questions.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

I find out that <a href="http://www.theminorityreport.org/2009/free-roomba-confounds-seo-amateur/">I have NADD</a> and now this.

<blockquote title="Helmintholog » Blog Archive » Creative destruction" cite="http://www.thewormbook.com/hlog/?p=2004"><p>You know that feeling when you are sitting on the floor by the dusty disassembled guts of a computer and nothing works at all? It won’t even give a healthy cheep on startup? And then, slowly, it all comes together, until everything works, except, perhaps, sound, and you change something to fix that, and then nothing works at all again: you’re back in the smell of dust and silence and you can’t undo?  You will swear, when you finally recover, never to upgrade anything again. Yet you will. And I don’t know why, or didn’t, until I stumbled on a lovely passage in Ellen Ullman’s Close to the Machine, still the best book I know about the psychology of nerding. <a class="tmr_jump" title="Helmintholog » Blog Archive » Creative destruction" href="http://www.thewormbook.com/hlog/?p=2004">Helmintholog » Blog Archive » Creative destruction</a></p></blockquote>
