First iPhone line forms in Manhattan (4 days early)

This will probably be my only iPhone post, since, well, I’m not a fan of AT&T / Cingular’s coverage around the United States and especially the New York area. Other than that, I don’t hold too much against them. The iPhone, a 1st generation Apple product, while cool, I’d:

1. Be afraid to lose or break it too quickly (or have it stolen)

iPhone Line Waiters

2. Knows it has known bugs, so don’t feel like dealing with that

3. I work have an exchange server for my email, so my Windows Mobile 5 does me good (Where’s the WM6 Treo 800w Verizon!??! I want it now!)

4. Four or Eight GB of Hard Drive space for your music? My watch (not really) has more space.

Anyway, here’s the article, I commend the guy(s), I’ll buy him a pretzel or bring him a soda (probably not):

Insanity: First iPhone line forms in Manhattan (four days early) from AppleInsider.com (picture “borrowed” from article, there’s video too).

Dick Cheney is a Real Dick Recently

“Host Chris Wallace wondered why the Vice President would have decided to stop complying with the executive order in 2003, since he had complied with it prior to then, and former Vice President Al Gore also complied with it.” Video and back and forth conversation through the Link ‘Fox pundit: Cheney in ‘secured undisclosed bunker of his mind’

Oil Industry Controls The President

I’ve said it plenty of times over and over again, but I’ll say it again. The Bush presidency is controlled by the Oil Industry. I mean, someone (in this case President Bush) just can’t take control of an oil company, run it into the ground, then eventually become president and not owe somebody something, and by something, I mean A LOT! How else could a coke sniffing, alcoholic from Connecticut get the appearance that he’s a Born Again Christian from Texas?

Either way, here’s the article that prompted this rant: Oil industry scales back refinery plans, a selection from the story below…

This spring, refiners, hampered by outages, could not keep up with demand and imports were down because of greater fuel demand in Europe and elsewhere. Despite stable ? even sometimes declining ? oil prices, gasoline prices soared to record levels and remain well above $3 a gallon.

Consumer advocates maintain the oil industry likes it that way.

“By creating a situation of extremely tight supply, the oil companies gain control over price at the wholesale level,” said Mark Cooper of the Consumer Federation of America. He argued that a wave of mergers in recent years created a refining industry that “has no interest in creating spare (refining) capacity.”

Student Suspended for Saying "Cannabis is safer than they Say"

Ummmm, this is definitely a Stupid America type of post, apparently the “administration” accused him of selling and using marijuana, he’s 15, while although totally a valid claim, still they have no proof and the boy says “I’ve never even smoked Marijuana. I’ve never even seen it!”. For some reason, I believe him, no stoner is smart enough to say “I’ve never even seen it!”. Read more where the hilarity ensues about King getting Suspended for Free Speech.

Video of President Bush getting his watch Stolen

This is priceless and just shows the Stupidity of President Bush to go into a crowd of Albanians who are actually happy to see him, when pretty much everyone else in the world hates him. If there was no GPS Tracker in that watch, then not only has 24 lied to me, but our country is definitely not doing what they should be doing. Let’s view President Bush lose his watch.

Not fair: Ten years for consensual oral sex

Ten years in prison for receiving oral sex. That is Genarlow Wilson’s sentence. When he was 17 years old and a high school senior, he received consensual oral sex from a 15-year-old, 10th-grade girl. Thank you MSNBC and our government for making me laught today.

Global Climate Change is Real

Ummm, my brother said about Al Gore being an “Alarmist” is not doing any good. I commented on that he needs to be an “alarmist”. More and More data comes out every day, and I have taken several Global Environment classes at Cornell University, so I’ve been seeing this data for years, but it makes no sense why people don’t think that Global Climate Change (not Global Warming since some places warm as some places cool, which is NOT good). Here’a New Article from ABC News: NASA: Danger Point Closer Than Thought From Warming

This is too funny: Speaking of Dumb…

Other than noting that this signage was found in the park under the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo near Adams Street, we have nothing else to add.

Spending $1billion to keep Pot offenders in Jail

Ummm, remember when Bush said the whole war was going to cost about $3billion and everyone was like WOAH that’s a lot of money, but if we have to, sure. Now it’s cost us at least $500billion, right? And he’s yelling at the democrats for withholding money. Someone (I’m bad with remembering names) said once on Lou Dobbs, that the US can spend $30 billion or so a day, if it was necessary, the question is when does spending even $1 a day still necessary. Back to the topic at hand, apparently Americans are spending $1,000,000,000 per year keeping Pot Offenders in Jail… Nice one stupid law that was originally meant to be racist against immigrants.

Stupid America Category

Aside from Bush being the president and everything that has gone wrong since… (last night’s family guy was too funny on what happened if Gore was in power)… Anyways, I’m starting a Category called “Stupid America” that questions just some of the laws and procedures and actions that are just soooo…well…Stupid!
