Heh, time for some linky love from Kevin, along with the usual snide commentary that may or may not have anything to do with anything.

Oh look at that….they\’re performing sex change operations on 7-year olds now.  Cue your standard rant about how the world is going to hell in an Amish woven hand basket.

Ted Kennedy is recovering from having two seizures this weekend. Doctors are doing tests to find out the reasons for the seizures. Both a heart attack and a stroke have been ruled out since Teddy does not have the required organs. Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

McCain gave a major speech last week on basically how he envisions his first term to go. I\’m still waiting for someone to give the conservative rebuttal.

It appears rather hip lately to tell they GOP they are a bunch of incompetent morons, despite this being a little like explaining that the sky is blue and water is wet. Also popular is explaining how the GOP can change it. Of course, conservatives have been writing articles like this since 2006 and we all see how that\’s gone.

Want to know how the American Conservative Union has rated your Representative or Senator?? Well they have their new ratings here.

Any doubt that the American people are still avidly opposed to amnesty or have changed their views on illegal immigration?? Consider those doubts disproven.

An excellent rundown of all the \”benefits\” of ethanol.

The best pron distribution system ever invented by Al Gore, is now threatening to collapse under the weight of it\’s own success…..namely widespread sharing of videos. Anyone want to place a bet on what the most popular video topic is???

How NOT to build a Navy ship. Full Disclosure…I work for one of the defense contractors mentioned. But this type of situation is pretty common really. For some reason, defense contractors have an absolute hard-on for Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology, despite the fact that it\’s seldom acceptable for military use. Part of this is a desire to reach private industry level efficiency, which is fairly unrealistic. It also doesn\’t help that the government loves to re-design on the fly and change requirements well into the development process. This situation is the norm, not the exception.

Canada has lost track of over 41,000 illegal aliens. I suppose I probably should take some comfort in the fact that we\’re apparently not the only incompetent boobs in this field, but I don\’t.

McCain\’s newest ad. Watch it and then explain to me how it\’s not equally applicable to EVERY candidate for any federal office. Admirable goals sure, but as they say, the devil is always in the details. And with considering the schmucks McCain has as advisors, I\’m not entirely certain the devil himself isn\’t actually crafting those details.

I believe this may be the first electoral vote breakdown prediction of the season. My how the time goes by. Before you know it we\’ll be reading the first post-mortem \”How we fucked up….again\” by conservative columnists.

With polar bears apparently now a threatened species, I think this is probably relevant. Polar ice is now the thickest it\’s been for this time of year in 25 years.

Since the summer driving season is approaching, it will soon be considered fashionable to talk about oil company price gouging and record profits and blah blah blah. It\’s probably worth remembering how an oil company\’s finances match up against five different tech companies. I\’m sure Bill Gates will be called before a congressional committee investigating price gouging any time now.
