Explorer vulnerability posts copy text to web
Score another point for IE integration into the system kernel. Don’t use copy/paste in IE for anything sensitive since it is easily accessible from outside the computer by any website that wants to get to it. The workaround is simple though.
hey ya’ll I wanted everyone to know what’s going on with me. I have two huge IT projects going right now with a third one coming online in the next three weeks. I have been very very busy. Our car has had to go in for repairs to the driver’s side seat..however in the process of heading to the repair shop I bounced the car off a guard rail. I’m fine and caterpillar is fine. The car suffered minor damage(the cost for repairs however at $500 is not). I was taking a road i have been down many many times. It was snowing heavily and the roads were about 50% cleared. The seciton of road i was on was cleared and i was going 25 mph. There is a nasty s-curve that is known for accidents(the guardrails get replaced 2-4 times every year). I was on my brakes lightly and entered the curve @10mph. I turned to the left..the car went straight. The car hit the guardrail with the right-front corner of the bumper. The car literally bounced off the guradrail like a pinball. I wound up oriented properly in the curve and continuing to move forward. i drove on to my daughter’s friend’s house to pick her up(the friend) and take both of them to school. Once i get there i surveyed the damage. The right front turn signal was broken and the right-front fog lamp was broken. The headlight assembly frame was cracked. All three have to be replaced. No other damage except some scrapes on the bumper cover. Looking back at things..i never should have taken that back road. I was trying to make it easier on other traffic for the pickup and also simplify my route from the pickup to their school. Bad move on my part.

Bush unaware of Dubai ports deal before approval - Yahoo! News
Now this is a good one. The following statement by bush means he is either a horrendous liar or totally out of touch:
President George W. Bush did not know about a deal to hand over operations at six major U.S. ports to an Arab company until after his administration had approved it, the White House said on Wednesday.
Surprised by a backlash from Bush’s own Republican Party, the White House said it was a mistake not to explain to Congress the administration’s approval of the sale decried by lawmakers as a risk to national security.
U.S. Treasury Secretary
John Snow also told reporters he did not know of the decision even though he chairs the committee that approved the sale of British-based P&O to Dubai Ports World based in the United Arab Emirates.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush learned of the deal in the media and there were no objections during the review process that would have warranted it being brought to the president’s attention.
The spin doctoring begins in earnest with Snow saying he didn’t know what was going on even though he chairs hte commitee. I don’t buy that at all. I told my wife Bush would hsow his true colors once re-elected since he did not have to worry about loosing an election. The colors I’m seeing are very very dark indeed.
Michelle Malkin has a large post about this subject as well.
Bush Threatens to Veto Any Bill to Stop Port Takeover - New York Times
“After careful review by our government, I believe the transaction ought to go forward,” Mr. Bush told reporters who were traveling with him on Air Force One to Washington, according to news agencies. “I want those who are questioning it to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company. I am trying to conduct foreign policy now by saying to the people of the world, ‘We’ll treat you fairly.” ‘
Some review. Michelle Malkin has detailed posts about the arab companie’s terrorist ties as well as it’s government’s terrorist ties here, here, here, and here. Is this the same review your administration gave to the illegal alien amnesty program you are pushing? Is this the same review you are giving to our wide open borders? What bothers me most is at least i knew Clinton was a liar from the get-go. It’s too bad Bush wasn’t honest..of course many politicians aren’t.
Captain’s Quarters
Frankly, I won’t be voting for McCain or any other demopublican or republicrat. I’ll be voting a different party.
