I think Rep. Peter King needs a reality check. The newspapers in this country have a responsibility (not just a right) to the people of the United States of America to report this kind of illegal and underhanded actitivity by the government and NO person or group should be allowed to censor or restrict their ability to report the news.

Sounds like 15 minutes of nude sun bathing a day would supply about the right amount. Interesting connection between vitamin D and breast cancer too. Tis ALL tied together.

Treehugger: Fortified Houses as Hurricane Bait

I’ve seen 4 to 6 foot thick walls of rebar enforced concrete broken and mangled by a hurricane so I really doubt that a row of houses on concrete stilts are gonna do much for anyone but line a few pockets. But what the hell do I know.

“Microsoft has spent five years and $5 billion NOT shipping Windows Vista. This reflects a company deliberately built in the image of its founder, Bill Gates — a single-tasking, technically obsolete executive with no checks or balances whatsoever who fills the back seat of his car with fast food wrappers.

Give em hell, Cringley!
