Server Change: Working Well?

So, Dreamhost migrated my little spot on the Interwebz to a new server, as the other one was getting massively bogged down, as well as old. Seems there are a few folks who might need to understand programs like Bad Behavior and other bot blockers. Everything seem to be working well? Speed better?

Oh, Those Wacky Religion of Peacers!

First, they call Obama a house negro, then they have to get all jiggy on the whole “peace” thang, in a letter sent to a Christian bishop in Iraq (CNA) “There’ll be no room in Iraq for the Christian infidels from now on,” the letter continues, threatening that those who remain will have their throats […]

Free The GOP (Updated)

Update: On reflection, I thing the words I was looking for are morality and values. The GOP should stand for values. It shouldn’t, in my opinion, by pushing morality. That is for individuals, private groups, and churches. See the end of the post for more. FoodHot Chocolate (well, we are having way below average temps this […]

UN Mandate Virtually Worthless In Stopping Somali Pirates

Surprise! Somali pirates struck again yesterday, seizing an Iranian cargo ship holding 30,000 tonnes of grain, as the world’s governments and navies pronounced themselves powerless against this new threat to global trade.

Adult Stem Cells Create First Lab Grown Organ

And said organ actually, you know, works!

Because the new windpipe was made from cells taken from Ms Castillo’s own body, using a process called “tissue engineering”, she has […]

Paging Dr. Cluebat. Paging Dr. Cluebat. Bush Reversal on Iraq Deadline Gives Obama Breathing Room By agreeing to a fixed deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, President Bush contradicted years of promises that he would never agree to anything but a “conditions-based” plan for phasing out the American military role there. But […]

The Fun Stuff One Finds Looking For Stories On Illegals

Usually, I search news sites like Google News and Yahoo News with terms like “illegal immigrant” and “illegal alien,” often with extras like murder, rape, dui, drunk, etc. I decided to try one with “undocumented worker” this morning, and found this gem at Pacifica Radio ACLU Says Undocumented and Refugee Teens Denied Reproductive Care The […]

AGW Today: Schwarzenutter, Airport Malaria, And Light Bulbs (Again)

Arnold should worry more about the rolling brownouts and blackouts that could be hitting his state if climate change legislation passes. Heck, it’s California. Should worry about power outages regardless (Business and Media Institute) Although investigators have determined the fires plaguing the areas around Santa Barbara and Montecito, Calif. were “human caused,” California Gov. Arnold […]

Poor Liberal Babies Still Whining About Racism

This is what we have to look forward to for the next 4 years from the mainstream left, starting with Crooks and Liars, the perfect name for a Progressive blog As we predicted before the election, Barack Obama’s victory has loosed a flood of hatefulness from the racist right in America. Digby yesterday had a […]
