Tuesday, September 23rd, 2003People whine about immigration ‘injustices’ - Of note is the quote: “Of course, the government should be doing more for us.” There was a time when people immigrated to the USA to do things for themselves.

Clark Never Called Karl
Monday, September 22nd, 2003Clark Never Called Karl - Wesley Clark has started his campaign off on the right (left?) foot — telling lots of lies.

Senators making a little sense; Extreme Stuff; Displays of Suicide not Condoned
Thursday, September 18th, 2003Some senators are making an interesting point: it is easier for the recording industry to get information on alleged copyright violators than it is for the Justice Department to investigate terrorism.

California courts doing what they can to ignore the law

BIOS upgrade tanks my system
Friday, September 5th, 2003I have built my own computers for years. I have upgraded motherboards, CPUs, video cards, and everything else in a case, many times. Today, I needed to update the BIOS on my computer’s motherboard — something I have done many times before without difficulty.
But today, there was a difficulty. That is to say, it tanked. [...]
Miguel Estrada fed up with obstructing Democrats and wimpy Republicans
Friday, September 5th, 2003Miguel Estrada got tired of the garbage going on in the Senate over his nomination. He’s out. This is a political victory for liberals because the last thing they want is a successful, influential Latino in a prominent position in the federal government who isn’t a liberal – who is a conservative.
