Imeaching Bush on Friday

This message from Congressman Dennis Kucinich appeared recently on Youtube. Apparently George Bush is going to be impeached for war crimes and lying on Friday. Isn’t it a bit late? Bush is almost gone! What is the goal of impeaching now? We can’t accomplish much because the damage has already been done. We’ve essentially failed already no matter what the outcome of impeachment is. Let’s look forward instead of backward and just get over the past. We can’t change the past, only the future. It just seems to me that he wants revenge on Bush. Which I hope is not the case. I hope his intentions are to make clear what Bush  did and why it is wrong so that it doesn’t happen. It’ll be a sorry day when we go after presidents for their mistakes.

National Guard help needed in the city? Really? It doesn’t feel that bad when I’m down there. If I just were to join the police force, it would save us all this fuss and tax money.

New York now has the first commercial super conducting power lines. Aside from looking really neat, the power lines are much thinner than their copper equivalent. And they conduct 150 times as much – each cable able to power 100,000 homes. It feels so futuristic….

So it seems Episode 3 is in the works. Makes me wonder if Half Life 3 will be a reality. but from the looks of the concept art, who cares?

A train That never stops

Instead of stopping the entire train, this idea has separate pods which get off the main train at their own stops. Pretty slick!

Just makes me say “why didn’t I think of this”

TOOL

Some words really perterb me, especially those which are used in strange ways that seem to be trendy and/or insulting. Consider the word Tool. How many times have you heard someone say “oh he’s such a too!” “what a tool!” or something similar? Seems to be the latest way to insult people.

But I guess I’m really out of the loop because  i have no idea what it means.

Tools can ’screw’ things

tools can ‘make’ things

Tools can ‘control’ things

Tools can ‘use’ things

and to make matters totally confusing,

Tools can ‘get used’ by other people

AHHHHH! What does it mean exactly? Does anyone even know, or do you just use it because it sounds insulting?
