Bush Vs Zombies. You got to see this

Don't know how they do this! But it was hilarious.

Michael Badnarik, Who?

Never heard of him until today. But after having watched couple of his speeches/lectures, I just love him. I understand where he comes from since I share a lot of his passion. But I did not know he was a Presidential candidate and a Software Engineer. Hit the following link to watch some of his classes.

The closest we have for him in 2008 Presidential nominees is "Ron Paul". I like Ron and I sincerly hope that he gets through the Primary. He is the only Republican candidate I like. On the Democratic side, Obama comes closer but not anyone else.

How to lie with statistics

How to Lie With Statistics is a very interesting little book that I read recently. The book is very thin (less than 100 pages) but is fun to read. This book was originally written at least a decade ago but you still see those lies with charts and graphs every now and then. Very refreshing to learn about those dirty tricks!

Belive it or not, I learned the true difference between the different averages that people quote (i.e. mean, median and mode).

TV Ad asks you to call congress and tell what you think about the Iraq war

But if you call the number provided in the TV spot, they ask you if you support the war and if you don't, don't put you through...Huh?!!

See it for yourself.

I am very disappointed with democrats

Senate vote gives temporary boost to Bush's eavesdropping power

Senate today voted to give what the President wanted in terms of giving him more power!!! That is un-believable

I am starting to seriously doubt whether Dems truely stand for Civil liberty, prevent further destruction of the constitution and the expansion of executive powers.

I think they are setting themselves to lose another presidential election for sure.

Heroism and the language of fascism

Heroism and the language of fascism is the topic of the day.

I commend the author for having the courage to write what she felt. You know what, this has been my long standing belief about Police and Soldiers with the exception of fire fighters.

Especially in America, there is hero workship with respect to Police and Soldiers. What makes them so special compared to a teacher who dedicates her life to education or a person who gets in the sewer and maintains it so that we live in better conditions?

Talking about soldiers, how many go serve the military because they wanted to serve the nation. I am fairly certain that it is a minority. Folks I know went there because there was nothing better for them. A cousin of mine went to Army and did medicine and served as long as he was required to. Now he is out of the Army and earning a million dollar a year as Neuro Surgeon. If serving the country makes you a automatic hero, why does military have to spend so much in advertising, offer bonuses and sometimes issue stop loss orders or even announce Drafts?

IMO, anyone who does civil service with honor and integrity and for the well being of the nation is a Hero. This is irrespective of whatever profession it is. Period.

This also is due to celebration of mediocrity in United States. You just have to be yourself (what ever it maybe) and you are Awesome. Doesn't have to accomplish above anyone. Just doing what everyone normally does gets praise here.

Go Rosa Brooks!
