Website Update!

I finally took the time to begin bringing my website in to the 21st century…and, if I can, drop it in to the same…hummm, how the hell am I going to do that?

I think some of the info is the same but I did update thing as I saw fit and where my tastes changed. What it REALLY is better looking. I stole some code from a cool website and used everything (except colors and content of course).

In looking for new content I discovered a website called ‘EscapeArtist.com’ VERY COOL…I may YET leave America behind for a career as an anonymous jazz pianist in Paris or Geneva.

You know looking back on this thing, it’s amazing how BIG a geek I really am…I mean really…who knew…

Oh No George...not ANOTHER one....? By PHILIP SHENON Published: November 12, 2005 – The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/12/politics/12lobby.html WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 - House Democratic leaders called on the White House on Friday to release documents showing whether a powerful Republican lobbyist had a role in arranging an Oval Office meeting last year between President Bush and the president of the West African nation of Gabon, whose government had been asked by the lobbyist to pay $9 million to help arrange such a meeting. The White House and the State Department have said that the meeting with President Omar Bongo of Gabon on May 26, 2004, was routine and that there was no evidence of any involvement by Mr. Abramoff. Wow will the Nixon parallels never end for Georgie Porgie? Isn’t this exactly how Watergate came about? Little pieces of the fabric unraveling here and there and a couple of hungry writers sunk their teeth in to it and RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIP…is was over for Ti...

Tick...tick...tick. The Government Shutdown LOOMS! SO SHUT IT DOWN!

I have been reading and ranting about this "Government Shutdown" all day (ya know cuz it's Friday and NAB is this weekend and I'm ALREADY in Vegas). I've been making this comment all day and the positve feed back It' NOT about money or jobs or abortion or budget. The REAL problem here, and the dangerous thing; the thing we should all be scared of is that We The People are missing the bigger picture in what they're talking about. This shut down is NOT about money or jobs or abortion or budget. That's all coded language. This fight is about POWER; who is gonna get it and what they're gonna do with it. The GOP has HAD IT and is tired of "science" and "technology" and "progress" and liberal way of thinking (e.g. that everybody is equal and there is room for compromise, etc) because in their greedy and twisted minds that train of thought ONLY works for the poor and down trodden and the old and those that c...

How Afghanistan's Opium can save the world - and itself !

Image
In researching Funding Access-vs.-Prevention at 14th ICASA AIDS Conference in Nigeria there was this other topic, indirectly effecting the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. Its wider effects on the world stage are equally staggering, and it effects every person on every continent to some extent. The issue is the fledgling democracy of Afghanistan and threat that the illicit opium trade poses in destabilizing the democratic process and stability in the entire region. Opium is bleeding Afghanistan of its chances of democracy. Go anywhere in southern Kandahar, Afghanistan (the former spiritual stronghold of the Taliban) and you’ll run in to poppy fields. Drive 20 minutes in any direction and you’ll find farmers busy harvesting their crop, in spite of the Interim Authority's January 2002 ban in on poppy cultivation. An estimated 1.7 million people are directly involved in opium production, as widespread and family-based poppy cultivation proliferates in 28 of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan. ...
