Wait, I thought the Patriot Act was supposed to deal with terrorists, not petty gamblers. God I love rider amendments.
Well this is sad news. It looks like Corel is on its last leg. Good bye to an old friend.
Now one more reason why I can’t stand Apple. To any Apple stockholders out there, I’d be afraid of any company that has Al Gore on their board of directors.
Now I’m not going to say that the following story is only applicable to Democrats, far from it. What it does prove is why anyone goes to Washington; they go for easy money from the scared taxpayers and corporations or for the power of instilling that fear, or both. None seems very noble, does it?
A friend just sent this comparison to me and though I can’t vouch for it’s total honesty, it seems pretty close to me:
Price of Gas:
You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive?
Makes one think, and puts things in perspective.

Here is something particularly weird: Strindberg & Helium
Bill Moyers, who PBS describes as “America’s most respected journalist” has won the DisHonor Awards’ Quote of the Year for this objective statement on his show Now (November 8th):
“The entire federal government ” the Congress, the executive, the courts ” is united behind a right-wing agenda for which George W. Bush believes he now has a mandate. That agenda includes the power of the state to force pregnant women to surrender control over their own lives. It includes using the taxing power to transfer wealth from working people to the rich. It includes giving corporations a free hand to eviscerate the environment and control the regulatory agencies meant to hold them accountable. And it includes secrecy on a scale you cannot imagine.
“Above all, it means judges with a political agenda appointed for life. If you like the Supreme Court that put George W. Bush in the White House, you will swoon over what’s coming. And if you like God in government, get ready for the Rapture….”
“So it’s a heady time in Washington, a heady time for piety, profits and military power, all joined at the hip by ideology and money. Don’t forget the money….”
“Republicans out-raised Democrats by $184 million and they came up with the big prize: monopoly control of the American government and the power of the state to turn their radical ideology into the law of the land. Quite a bargain at any price.”
Way to go Bill, keep that objectivity strong!
Yo French and Germans, how you like these apples!
And yes, even more. I gotta start going through my email more often. Here is what might just happen if we lose the war:
