IBM seeks knockout blow in SCO case
Legals experts see confidence in latest IBM filings

This could be the real beginning of the end for SCO. SCO has turned into the proverbial dead rat lying on the kitchen floor, waiting for someone to scoop it up and throw it in the trash.

Meanwhile, it just lies there and stinks.

That's a very apt analogy for SCO, which just lies and lies and lies, and stinks.

A Modest Proposal

If the Iraqis in Falujah like playing with dead bodies so much, I think we should give them lots to play with. This will do the job.

Thoughts on the Brouhaha

1. Richard Clarke is a lying asshole.

2. Al-Quaeda grew into a full-fledged terror organization during the Democrats watch. That they are trying to blame the Bush administration for their fuck up is the epitome of hypocrisy.

3. Nothing will be settled until the Democrats learn to love their country more than they hate George Bush. I am not optimistic that this will ever happen.

Take My Advice

Note to John Kerry:

Keep harping on that "foreign leaders like me" meme. People (especially Southerners) really like and respect politicians who depend on the French for approval. Just look at Jerry Lewis, for example. I really think you need to keep emphasising that you have the direct support of the government of Iran to show what a broad-minded, cosmopolitan guy you are. Oh, and mention that North Korea has endorsed you. Steelworkers like the sound of that.

Oh, and one more thing. You really made a big hit with farmers, housewives, and people who attend church when you called that Secret Service guy a "son of a bitch". You need to punch up that angle in your future appearances. Like, pretend to bump into one of your security detail, see, and then say really loud, "Get out of my way, motherfucker! I'm JOHN KERRY!"

That will really get the middle American demographic excited. You'll win in a walk.

Spain's Leader: Iraq Occupation a 'Fiasco'

'The International Herald Tribune recently quoted Zapatero as saying, "We're aligning ourselves with Kerry. Our allegiance will be for peace, against war, no more deaths for oil, and for a dialogue between the government of Spain and the new Kerry administration."'

Sort of a "Coalition of the Cowardly", I suppose.

All Robots Break Down in Pentagon Race

BARSTOW, Calif. (AP)--A $1 million race across the Mojave Desert by driverless robots ended Saturday after all 15 entries either broke down or withdrew, a race official said. Two of the entries covered about seven miles of the roughly 150-mile course while eight failed to make it to the one-mile mark. Others crashed seconds after starting.

7,000 Orange County Voters Were Given Bad Ballots

Part of the Electronic Ballots at Any Cost movement. Here's an idea: put the names of the candidates on a piece of paper and have the voter make a mark signifying which one he would like to vote for.

Then you count the marks for each candidate. Radical, no?

With Friends Like These

Wow, John Kerry, presumptive Democrat nominee for president, is really racking up the endorsements. First it was the mullahs of Iran (although that one might not count, since he practically begged them to endorse him), now it's that world famous philanthropist, Kim Jong Il!

Or is that misanthropist? Oh, never mind. An endorsement is an endorsement.
