The Republicans seem disparate. Their message is effectively "Vote Republican or Die!" Their claim is that if we don't stay the course and achieve victory in Iraq then the Islamic Terrorist Fascist Insurgents are coming to get you. Bush compares the war in Iraq to fighting the Nazis in World War 2 as if it were some noble cause. But we can never win in Iraq because the enemies are the same people that we are trying to liberate.
The truth is that Bush has failed and the Republicans have failed. We can either change direction now or wait till it gets worse and change direction later. The question that voters have to figure out is how bad are we going to allow things to get before we do something about it? I say lets throw the bums out.
You would think that a company as big as Comcast could run an email server correctly but they can't. Even simple things that any network engineer knows is beyond their ability to comprhend. And there's no way to get feedback to the as their support staff is hidden and unresponsive. Which probably explains why they are unaware that they have severe email problem.
So - maybe by posting on my blog the message will eventually get to them and they can fix their problems.
If you are a Comcast customer and wondering why your email isn't being delivered, it might have to do with the fact that Comcast's mail servers are severely misconfigured. The main problem they have is that the reverse DNS lookup on their servers have an IP mismatch between what host they say they are and what the host name resolves to. When the server reverse DNS is looked up it returns a name. When the name is looked up it resolves to a different IP. What does the mean? it means the reverse DNS has failed.
So - if you are a Comcast employee or customer or stockholder - or have any Comcast commections - please tell them to FIX THEIR EMAIL SERVERS. I'm getting tired of having to take the blame for Comcast email not reaching my servers.

The new Republican buzz phrase this week is "Islamic Fascism" saying that anyone who questions the Iraq war is immoral and is the kind of person who would have appeased Hitler. Excuse me? Who was it that decided to lie our way into a war with Iraq? Who was it that decided torturing people was OK? Who supports kidnapping people off the street and rendering them to countries where they are tortured and killed? We do have a problem with a new kind of fascism. Rumsfield is the fascist and he is the one who is emulating Hitler. If not for the Republicans we could actually deal with real Islamic terrorists rather than fighting fake wars against the wrong enemies.

Now that JonBennet Ramsey's murder suspect John Mark Karr has been determined to be some nut case who made a fake confession to get attention, I'm trying to figure out what is more perverted. Was it Karr's obsession with young girls or is it the media's obsession with perverts? The journalists are supposed to be the "normal people" but they were more obsessed than he was. Now they caught polygamist Warren Jeffs so now the news media has a new pervert to obsess on. With two perverts in the news we may never know how the war in Iraq turns out.
What ever happened to the good old days when news was news and the tabloids covered the perverts?

I mean - Jesus! Media obsession on sex scares me. Journalists seem far more obcessed than the stalkers do. Yeah the perps are creazy but watch the journalists covering them. Talk about people who have problems.
After a year 10,000 FEMA trailers still sit at the airport in Hope Arkanasa sinking in the mud rotting away where the government pays $25,000 a month rent for the space. Is it deliberate or just stupidity? If this doesn't symbolize the failure of Bush I don't know what does.

It's been one year since Bush let New Orleans drown and emergency trailers are still not yet delivered and people are just left with nothing. During this same period the oil companies have got another 14 billion in subsidies, the super rich got more tax breaks. and Congress raised it's pay. The only thing people got from the insurance companies was a rate increase. The gulf coast states voted for Bush so the lesson to be learned is that if you elect an incompetent president then you get incompetence.

Of course I feel sorry for those who voted for Kerry who lived in New Orleans but to some extent when you elect stupid people, and that includes Ray Negan, then you get the government you elect.
Years before the hurricane I'd seen several specials on what could happen to New Orleans if the right hurricane hit so even I was familiar with it. So there is was with many days worth of warning and they all just sat there and did nothing. Everyone knew the canals and levies had problems and did nothing. When the storm came they just sat there like morons.
