We got him on the OBL comment
Here is the text outlining Bush as a straight up liar last night in the debate. This happened within the first few minutes when he accused Kerry of exaggerating. Sorry, Mr. President, but those were your words.
Q: Mr. President, in your speeches now, you rarely talk or mention Osama bin Laden. Why is that? [...]
BUSH: ... I don't know where he is. Nor -- you know, I just don't spend that much time on him really, to be honest with you [...]
Q: Do you believe the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead of alive?
BUSH: As I say, we hadn't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, you know, again, I don't know where he is.
I'll repeat what I said: I truly am not that concerned about him.

Post Debate Thoughts
- Bush totally lied about his comments regarding Osama bin Laden. I've already heard the audio clips on the radio this morning when he stated he didn't really think about bin Laden much at all. Mind you, he said it only six months after 9/11 when he was all gung-ho about invading Iraq.
- So are drugs from Canada good or bad?! In the second debate he stated he couldn't allow drugs from Canada because they could be dangerous. But now he's running to Canada to help with out flu vaccine shortage. Oh, and the FDA didn't not decide to stop Chiron from shipping their bad vaccines, the British made that decision and caught the FDA totally off-guard.
- His whole "culture of life" statements are starting to really piss me off. I recall a statement that as Governor of Texas he presided over the most executions of any state in America history. These opposing actions/views do not mesh.
- Bush's healthcare view is a complete pandering to the insurance companies. American's are not about to start calling hospitals and asking for rates. "Hi, I'm wondering how much you charge to remove a tumor in my colon?"
- I bet small business owners would rather see their healthcare costs drop rather than their taxes - if it came to choose between the two. I can vouch from my work experience that small business are seriously concerned with their health care costs.
- Minimum wage: Bush side-lined the question are started talking about better education. Granted that can certainly help, but it will take a generation to see the results. Raising the minimum wage, the lowest in decades, will have an immediate effect. Mind you 5 million Americans have fallen into poverty - they need help now.
20 more days!!

Analyst on Apple's earnings: 'It's shocking. I'm shocked.'
The good news just keeps rolling in for Apple, and the last quarter certainly wasn't an exception with Apple earning its highest profits in nine years. Get this, Apple sold over 2 million iPods in the last three months. Why are other companies even wasting their time competing, this is just insane.

One in four airport screeners fail - Oct 13, 2004
Geez, we're spending $30 billion more on Homeland Security to protect Americans from experiencing another horiffic event like 9/11 and our airports still act like Microsoft Windows - full of holes! Doesn't Bush say we need to be right 100% of the time?! This airport, which the hijackers of 9/11 used is only right 75.2 percent of the time.
ATTENTION HIJACKERS/AL QAEDA/ and WHOEVER ELSE AMERICA HAS PISSED OFF: Our airports are still free and clear for attacks. Oh, and vote Bush!

Kind of an interesting article that might explain why the 'gay gene,' if there is such a thing, hasn't been weeded out by evolution. That or maybe God just wants some help decorating heaven - I don't know which.

The Fall of MacCentral; the Rise of MacDaily News
As a Mac user and a huge fan of the company, I like to know as much as I can about anything and everything related. MacCentral used to be a great site, but then MacWorld bought them out, and though their magazine might be good their website stinks. Now they've turned a great news source into a neutered, plain, advertising service fronting as a news source. Everyday its just more and more advertising and press releases about this new product or that. I've been comparing the news from these two sites and MacCentral is either a day behind or completely missing from the game.
Fortunately we have lots of Mac news websites out there and after careful review I've found MacDaily News to be the best source out there. MacObserver is alright, but not quite as pleasant.
So in speaking of mac news, the good news just keeps coming in for Apple. They had 82% of mp3 player retail sales in August and now the iPod controls over 90% of the mp3 player market in the US. Even better, iTunes still has 70% of the legal download music market - regardless of all the new competitors to the field. I guess great products and service can be picked over mediocrity.

Just another example of Right-wing controlled media. Anyone who suggests the media has a liberal bias has serious reasoning disabilites. They suggest reciting a list of American casualities is against the public interest, but dragging up old, oppionated issues from 30 years ago is a required must.
