Microsoft’s Earth deletes Apple HQ

Posted by Eric at 2:45 pm. Filed under: General

Hah!

MSN’s virtual Earth replaced the Apple headquarters with a field and a single road and labeled it “Infinite Loop.”

And when you zoom in on the Microsoft site, it says “Apple Computer Corp Ofc. - No Results Found.”

You gotta love geek fights. Man, that’s funny.

Castle Coalition: Citizens Fighting Eminent Domain Abuse

Posted by Eric at 2:00 pm. Filed under: General

If you haven’t seen the Castle Coalition’s website yet, check it out and get involved.

Right now, there is a tremendous momentum against this abuse of power, and we ask each of you to begin organizing to change the law in your city or county or state. The Castle Coalition will help you write the language, but now is the time to start organizing your friends and neighbors. Your local government will tell you there’s nothing to worry about, that it would never use eminent domain, or that it’s only as a “last resort.” Don’t believe a word of it. Your only protection is a change in the law (or good state court rulings, which is what the Institute for Justice is working on).

Calculus of Terrorism

Posted by Eric at 8:31 am. Filed under: General

Jay Tea has an interesting discussion he titled “The Cold Calculus of Fighting Terrorism.”

What they can do, though, is “play the odds” and use their best judgment on whether or not the suspect is a terrorist. They can look at his clothing, his behavior, his conduct, his general mien and use their best professional opinion on whether he is a terrorist or a harried commuter.

This is what used to be known as “good policework,” but is now known as “profiling.”

That’s exactly what happened in London last week. They played the odds, ran the numbers, and chose in instants whether they would risk one dead innocent or countless dead and injured innocents — and they shot him.

Check out the rest.

Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll, Funeral Crasher

Posted by Eric at 7:49 am. Filed under: General

Check out this story about Lt. Gove Knoll attending the funeral of a fallen marine and inappropriately using this as a platform (uninvited) to speak out against the war.

Michelle Malkin has more on the original story here. It looks like Governor Rendell is apologizing and encouraging Knoll to do the same. Michelle says it’s not enough to hide behind the gov’s skirts.

Greyhawk thinks maybe she was taken in by Michael Moore.

Balance Sheet says:

The Democratic Party will be laid to rest sometime in the near future

The Anchoress rants:

Can Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll be impeached for utter classlessness, cluelessness and jaw-dropping stupidity?

Blackfive has more on Seargant Goodrich.

Pennywit is outraged too, but thinks the calls for resignation are a bit overblown.

Mark in Mexico:

The Lt. Gov. could not be reached for comment from her hiding place under her desk but an aide said that it would be “would be inappropriate” for him to comment.

Lump on a Blog rounds out the commentary with this.

Catherine Baker Knoll, Democrat has come to represent all of the qualites that we do not admire, but have come to expect from the moonbat community: indencency, contempt, a hatred of everything American, cowardice, and a willingness to sacrifice the honor and dignity of everyone else for your own personal gain.
