A public servant managing $700 billion wants no accountability!

Only in USA folks! Below is the text from the draft proposal:

Sec. 8. Review.Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

My problem with BillO and other stupid ass conservatives

Conservatives are the ones who is supposed to understand the constitution and the law better! But some of the most outspoken defenders don't know jackass about some of the basic differences!

Frankly, I had the understanding which is same as what Megyn had. Watch for yourself

Republicans Vs. Democrats

To me the contrast is Liars Vs. Realists.

It looks like our Republican friends used actors to show a video in RNC instead of actual footage. Where as CBSNew confirmed it did not find any fake images or videos at DNC

Why isn't Palin coming clean?

I don't know how much to trust these rumors. It sucks to have this much attention on your child and having to prove that it is hers indeed. I wouldn't want to be in that position ever.

But whether she likes it or not, she is running for the second highest position in the nation. So some amount of scrutiny is expected. I wonder why she isn't forthcoming with the medical records to stop the rumor once for all?

On the other hand, if it is true that she waited for nearly 24 hours after her water broke to travel to her rural town to give birth fuels the rumors even more. Why didn't she get admitted in one of the Houston hospitals where facilities are better? Only God knows and he isn't going to come down and help anyone.

Way to go Obama! Way to go America

I got very emotional. I had tears running down my cheek both yesterday and today. "The promise of America" is nothing but best put about what I like about America. People often mistake what America stands for. It is not the culture or other things but it is the sprit and the foundation it is built upon.

But I am also very sad to see those taken away in recent times. I don't think the America can tolerate 4 more years of Bush policies nor does the World.

Vote for Obama, vote for the promise of America and vote for a better tomorrow.

I just don’t know about this Obama fellow

So you might ask if we should elect another idiot just because we already had made a mistake. The answer is Obama has a far better IQ than Mr.Bush and seems to think with his brain rather than with his guts or penis. Obama would be a much better choice compared to Mr.Bush IMHO.

Books of the month

I found some time to read 2 books in the last one month. Finding time is unusual when you have a full time Microsoft job and 2 very active kids. But I squeezed time here and there and I am glad I picked both of the following books.

No Tech Hacking
Really opened me up to the world of possibilities. Sure I knew about Social engineering attacks etc. But who knew social engineering field was this broad? The Author touches upon the wider world of physical security and its flaws as well. We often talk about how a chain is as strong as the weakest link. And we software folks often discuss only about securing software in terms of cyber attacks. But humans as always are the weakest links in any security chain and shows how armed with nothing, he could penetrate a network or gain access to where he shouldn't be. Good read.
