The Hanger - Rocket Talk

On Religious Freedom Day, we commemorate the passage of the 1786 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, authored by Thomas Jefferson, and we celebrate the First Amendment's protection of religious freedom.

Across the centuries, people have come to America seeking to worship the Almighty freely. Today, our citizens profess many different faiths, and we welcome every religion. Yet people in many countries live without the freedom to worship as they choose and some face persecution for their beliefs. My Administration is working with our friends and allies around the globe to advance common values and spread the blessings of liberty to every corner of the world. Freedom is a gift from the Almighty, written in the heart and soul of every man, woman, and child, and we must continue to promote the importance of religious freedom at home and abroad.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 16, 2007, as Religious Freedom Day. I call on all Americans to reflect on the great blessing of religious liberty, endeavor to preserve this freedom for future generations, and commemorate this day with appropriate events and activities in their schools, places of worship, neighborhoods, and homes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH

I just love getting these testimonials... The QUOTE OF THE DAY for me...just another incredibly happy customer of Crystal View's Headlight Restorer/Defogger.

This one arrived today from a guy in Paducah, Kentucky and I just had to share it... He Wrote:

"I was concerned about the limited visibilty from the headlights on my son's car when driving it one night. I had asked my mechanic about replacement assemblies and it quoted me $250.00 a piece. Then he suggested this product as it was a much cheaper method and it worked. It is one the best products I have ever used and its application, as the Geico adds say, "So easy even a caveman could do it." It is a fantastic product. Thanks"

No offense to cavemen now! Here is another good one that came only a few days earlier:

"I just wanted to say that I used the headlight restoration kit and it worked great!!!! This product is Amazing! I recommended it to a lot of my friends and they all love it. I was going to replace my headlights for new ones which would have cost me $400 for the pair. Let me tell you I am so glad I found this product. Thanks!!!

Sincerely,

Very happy customer
Mike F - Covington, Washington"

and the day before that...

"I would just like to say how pleased I am with your headlight restoration product! It worked great, easy instructions to follow, and now my headlight that I restored looks better than my new headlight. Thanks guys, this product really worked well!

Jason H. - Creedmoor, NC"

Well there you have it... Crystal View ROCKS! I could keep going, but it's time to do some more cybersurfing.

See you in The Webisphere!

I've got to take the 'ol hat off to the pranksters at Google.com for their creativity in promoting such a load of crap...grin! Not sure how long Google will keep the humor available for posterity, so I'm going to paste some of the content here. Thanks for the giggle Google!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why should I switch to Google TiSP?

It's fast. In our testing, TiSP delivers a 10x higher flow rate than basic DSL.

It's FREE. No more paying hundreds of dollars a year for Internet service that doesn't even necessarily extend to your bathroom!

It's good for you. Your FREE TiSP service includes a Google Toolbar-based analysis of your dietary habits and genetic predispositions, along with recommendations for healthier living.

How can Google offer this service for free?
We believe that all users deserve free, fast and sanitary online access. To offset the cost of providing the TiSP service, we use information gathered by discreet DNA sequencing of your personal bodily output to display online ads that are contextually relevant to your culinary preferences, current health status and likelihood of developing particular medical conditions going forward. Google also offers premium levels of service for a monthly fee (see below).

Note: We take your privacy very seriously. So we treat all TiSP users' waste-related personal information with tremendous discretion, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Is this offering a tiered service? How does Google's position on Net Neutrality effect TiSP?
Although we understand that there's a lot of crap on the web, we also believe strongly in providing equal opportunity access to all our users. While we won't limit your surfing choices, we do offer three levels of TiSP service:

Trickle The #2 Royal Flush
Download 8 Mbps 16 Mbps 32 Mbps
speed (max) (10X basic DSL)(20X basic DSL) (40X basic DSL)

Upload
speed (max) 2 Mbps 4 Mbps 8 Mbps

Price Free $9.95/mo. $24.95/mo.

Actual speeds will vary, depending on network traffic and sewer line conditions. Users with low-flow toilets may simultaneously experience a saving-the-environment glow and slower-data-speed blues.

Is Google TiSP safe and reliable?
Google TiSP ensures reliable throughput through the power of fiber, which has been proven through extensive research to effectively facilitate consistent data flow with minimal latency. And you can rest assured that under no circumstances will the TiSP system ever expose your privates.

What are the system requirements?

Windows XP/Vista (Mac and Linux support coming soon)

Internet Explorer 6.0+ or Firefox 1.5+ with the Google Toolbar

Round-front or elongated toilet providing at least 1.0 gallons per flush

Use of automatic toilet bowl cleaners is not recommended

Does my water company support TiSP?
TiSP was developed with the support and assistance of a large number of major metropolitan water companies. A full list of companies that support TiSP is available here. If yours isn't listed, please contact them to verify their ongoing and unstinting support before you even think about signing up for TiSP service.

Can I use TiSP if my home uses a septic system?
Sorry, but no -- TiSP requires the use of a central sewer system to connect your home to the Internet.

Can I still use my toilet after installing TiSP?
Do we look stupid? Needless to say, the fiber optic cable that enables TiSP will not interfere with your toilet's regular operations. For your own convenience, however, you may eventually wish to hire a professional contractor to help route the cable under, or through, the toilet seat to your TiSP wireless router.

In what countries is this service available?
TiSP is available today in the U.S. and Canada. Google has formed an international consortium of utility companies, sewage system experts, toilet manufacturers, and plumbers to develop solutions to the many problems facing all "dark porcelain"-based data-delivery innovators.

Can I use this service when I'm away from home?
Sorry, but no -- TiSP is not available outside the home at this time. We are, however, currently developing a mobile feature called TiSP on the Run (TiSPOTR), which we expect to make available in the near future.

I'm having trouble installing or using TiSP.
Your internet connection should be working within one hour of GFlushing the sinker. If you still aren't online after that period of time, your toilet may be clogged. Please flush three more times, then check your online connection again. If you're still experiencing problems, drop eight mints into the bowl and add a two-liter bottle of diet soda. For further assistance, please visit the TiSP Help Group.

Does my net access have to be wireless?
Not necessarily, but our user studies have found that without wireless connectivity, there was considerable "commode congestion" in an average 2.5-person household whose one bathroom typically can provide a comfortable workspace for just one user at a time. We therefore strongly recommend using the wireless connection to alleviate potential multi-user congestion and encourage widespread "couch computing."

Why is TiSP in beta?
When things go wrong with TiSP, they go very, very wrong. Let's leave it at that.

Oh yeah... here is the goofy Google diagram depicting the comode based (grin) system...

---------
This concludes the end of the strange but somewhat entertaining toilet talk from the makers of Google.

More of this crappy subject later in this millenium!

Greeting All,

Below is a reprint from the Drug Policy Alliance on a very controvercial about freedom of speech and the governments failed drug policy (prohibition) regarding the value and use of cannabis for health and wellness purposes. Please follow this and other valuable topics here on PlanetWebSite.

Please read the DPA Press Release from Daniel Abrahamson, Director of Legal Affairs.

Students are rallying outside the U.S. Supreme Court today as the court hears oral arguments in a case where DPA has been working to protect the freedom of speech in public high schools--including speech critical of current government policies.

DPA is supporting Students for Sensible Drug Policy to organize the pro-free speech rally. The rally will feature two students who had political campaign t-shirts advocating medical marijuana confiscated by school officials, as well as students prevented from starting an SSDP chapter at their public high school because their principal didn’t agree with the group’s anti-drug war message. The students will display a large “Free Speech 4 Students” banner on the steps of the Court.

The banner reflects the details of the case, Morse v. Frederick. A Juneau, Alaska, high school student, Joseph Frederick, was disciplined by his school principal in 2002 for publicly displaying a banner that the school claimed expressed pro-drug sentiments. While off school property at the public Olympic Torch Relay in Juneau, Frederick unfurled a banner in an attempt to get media attention. The banner bore words whose precise meaning remains elusive: "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." Although the banner caused no disruption, the school suspended Frederick from classes for five days for allegedly violating the school's anti-drug / zero-tolerance policy. When the principal informed Frederick of his suspension, Frederick responded by quoting Thomas Jefferson and stating that he was simply exercising his constitutional right to free speech. The principal, in turn, doubled Frederick’s suspension to 10 days. Frederick sued the school for unlawful censorship, and was represented by ACLU of Alaska.

The implications of the case are serious, as a negative decision could threaten to silence a broad body of student speech.

Four years ago DPA filed an amicus (friend-of-the-court) brief in support of free speech when the case was heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit sided with DPA’s position in support of the student’s right to engage in drug-related speech free from school punishment. When the Supreme Court decided to review the decision of the Ninth Circuit, DPA filed a second amicus brief with the Supreme Court.

DPA's brief observes that history and First Amendment precedent rebel against the assertion that school authorities may stop public high school students from speaking on the government-disfavored side of debate. The brief argues, "Students have been active participants in urgent national debates over war and civil rights, as they are in the discussion of drug policy reform, and, given their distinct perspective on many of the most important issues, society has a strong interest in hearing from them."

We will keep you updated on the outcome of this critical case.

Sincerely,

Daniel Abrahamson
Director of Legal Affairs
Drug Policy Alliance

Over & Out

I just had to re-post an entertaining comment I found while reading a story in The Arizona Daily Star regarding a recent ruling against the founders of a Southeastern Arizona Church that was seeking a dismissal of criminal charges for possession of over 100 pounds of marijuana.

This story is certainly a controversial one as the defendants are really just looking for a peaceful way to enjoy what our creator has provided naturally for us. The unfortunate situation here is that there are other compelling circumstances surrounding this couple's religous defense argument and the courts are not convinced of the sincerity of Dan and Mary Quaintance's Church of Cognizance founded in Pima, Ariz., in 1991.

The original article can be viewed here: http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/related/162069.php

Here is the best part of this unfortunate story. I just love a person who has a good sense of humor, and the ability to look beyond the "bureaucratic" load of crap that is constantly spewing forth from our greedy closeminded top officials running our "Good Ol'e Land of the 'Not So' Free Anymore"

Here it is in it's entirety...Thanks for the thoughts Harry D, your right on buddy!

Comment by Harry D. (Dog Dude (Blue heeler)) — December 27,2006 @ 4:01AM - Rating: 32 Thumbs Up

"The Quaintances face up to 40 years each in prison if they are convicted as charged.

So where is the victim in this heinous crime? It must be heinous to bring a 40 year sentence, cold blooded murderers don't get time like that. Child molesters can get a 10th of that for destroying a child's life.

You all sound so righteously ready to chop off their heads, or at least keep them behind bars for the rest of their lives because they had a plant that grows native in most States?

Or is it because they believe this plant is a gift from God? is that their heinous crime worth life in prison?

Did they smuggle it from Mexico? Now that would be a crime, but no hint that that's the case. Are they marring 12 year old girls? Having sex with snakes? Praying to a flower tortilla that has a burned spot that looks like Jesus? Do they hold pagan rituals on Midwinter's Night featuring naked teen sacrifices?

Oh horror of horror they smoke the evil weed, no not tobacco silly, weed, you know marijuana.. you know the evil stuff that is in the real world impossible to Over Dose to death on. The stuff adults act as if it's destroying the very fabric of society while they sneak off where the kids can't see them and smoke it, the kids on the other hand, unknown to the parents, 1st tried it in grade school and can get it cheaper them mom and dad can, and better crap.

Of course the kids see all this War on Drugs nonsense for what it is, hypocritical nonsense the same as you saw that back in your teens. Nothing has changed, we are still generations later sending people to prison for a plant that does far less harm then any alcohol drink, save none.

How many child molesters, bank robbers and violent gang members will be let out of prison so this couple can spend their 40 years for daring to believe in God and her gifts?

And we think Muslims are backward and brutal..."

I couldn't have said it better Harry!

Over and Out

Wednesday's "Results" show starts out as usual with a montage of last nights performances and as usual the recap points out some choice words between Paula and Simon.

Then all eleven (11) idols got the beat in the forth Ford commercial of this season. The funniest part of it was Idol's own teenage sex symbol "Chicken Little" himself, Kevin Covais, buried in the sand under a Schwartzenhager like sand scupture.

We were then entertained by "The Man Who Writes The Song That Makes The Whole World Sing," Mr. Barry Manilow himself, with a title from his new 50's album called "Love Is A Many Splendered Thing."

The elimination wittled the contestants down to Buckie and Kevin, Lisa being the third lowest. In the end, it was "Chicken Little" who was voted off this week. His moving exit montage was graced with a very sincere Kevin cheering on his fellow Idolmates.

Farewell Kevin! I have a feeling that we will be hearing from you again Sir Chicken Little.

Hmmm...now I wonder who first coined this phrase?

I'll have to ask Capt. Curtis over at the Outer Limits Clubhouse! He'll tell me, sound's kind like a space thing...smile!

I'm pretty sure it's true though. At least until the chaos comes back! I know that at home, all it takes is a little patience. Maybe we should see if Nurse Brenda could tell us over at Aunt Bytes Cafe. She's got great thoughts on stuff like that!

I'll be planet surfin' and bloggin around, so if I run across any thoughts, you'll be sure to hear about them over at the HotBlog Stand, or while I'm chating with my buddy's over at The Hanger where I'm usually tinkering with some kind of propulsion device.
