Dicks' Dander Raised By Amnesty Int'l Allegations

Dicks Cheney and Myers are outraged by Amnesty International's allegations. Cheney:

Frankly, I was offended by it. For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously.

Ooooh that's damning coming from Mr Secret Energy Policy Scammer Meet With My Pirate Friends Like Ken Lay Boy Cheney. Um... what about the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country that posed no threat to the US? Myers:

Absolutely irresponsible.

Well, if there is anyone who would recognize "absolute irresponsibility" it would be Don Rumsfeld's partner of stage and screen Dick Myers. Source: The Guardian's AP feed.

How to Design Software

This sounds about right:

Not surprisingly, the scientist took a unique approach to designing Mathematica. First, he tried to map out how the manual would read. If you can't say it in the manual, you won't be able to do it in the program," Wolfram said. As he wrote, he churned out code, often at the phenomenal pace of a thousand lines a day, working until his usual 6 a.m.

Unfortunately, this is completely backward from the way most people think when it comes to software. Especially if they don't write any themselves. Read more.

Newsweek v W

It's better to be a rapist of quadruplegic hamsters than an honest, dedicated, hardworking member of the Fourth Estate here in the US these days. Turns out that your trusted source is fuzzy about the title of the document that he read -- but not its content -- you're a traitorous unprofessional ferret-felching son of a Yak shaver. If you actually set in motion a torture program that includes rape, sodomy, murder, posthumous mutilation, extortion, and -- sit down for the bonecrusher -- mistreatment of religious books, well, you get elected president. W W uber alles.

Oh right... tax cuts with out fiscal discipline. That's the ticket. Sorry. My bad.

Bloggy Mama

Here's a little shout out to all my Bloggy Mama and Bloggy Popz in da hood. Holy hellfire scheiss it's been cascading piles of shit that needs doing yesterday lately, and it's only looking to accelerate... The scary thing is that even if I work 18 hours a day, there are a hundred million other playaz out there who are smarter, better looking, and masters of gung fu who are going to see my 18 and bump -- and keep posting stuff to their immaculate blog with good grammar, spelling, and style.

On election night we won. And then there was a recount, and we won. And then there was a selected recount as a result of different legal maneuverings, and we won that. And I believe one of these days, that all this is going to stop, and Dick Cheney and I will be the president and the vice president.

I'm also honored to be here with the Speaker of the House --- just happens to be from the state of Illinois. I'd like to describe the speaker as a trustworthy man. He's the kind of fellow who says when he gives you his word he means it. Sometimes that doesn't happen all the time in the political process.
