RTP
28 February 2005 - 05:42 pmHere’s the problem with RTP (Rádio e Televisão de Portugal). I like watching it because they show lots of soccer (futebol). I don’t even mind that it’s in Portuguese, even though, contrary to what you might assume, I don’t know the slightest bit thereof.
The problem is that, while they broadcast soccer matches, they show neither the time, nor the score, nor who is playing. So it does me no good.
A sad day it is

No Fly
27 February 2005 - 05:38 pmThe Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has an article about John Gilmore, someone who is fighting for your privacy.
John Gilmore’s splendid isolation began July 4, 2002, when, with defiance aforethought, he strolled to the Southwest Airlines counter at Oakland Airport and presented his ticket.
American idiot
26 February 2005 - 08:39 pmI find it rather difficult to understand how more and more Americans seem to be believing that Saddam Hussein had links to al Quaeda - 64% and rising. 47% think Saddam was directly involved in planning the September 11th attacks, and 44% think the hijackers were Iraqi. 36% still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the coalition invaded, despite admissions from the invasion’s leaders that there were none.

Memorial
24 February 2005 - 03:59 pmPeople are planning an Iraq War Memorial. They have even scoped out a location. No, not in Crawford Texas, but thanks for asking.
Construction is slated to begin 5 years after the war is over. You know folks, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you could be waiting a long, long time for that to happen.
Maybe they should also start planning memorials for countries we haven’t invaded yet.
