i wouldent call bush a bad president,

he is just has the compitance of a goldfish!
Which begs the question...why should the US taxpayers suffer gross incompetence?

Because if we impeach him then Cheney will become president...oh well at least Bush is good for some laughs

Here is a link to him answering a question on Sovereignty.

Which would explain why he felt invading Iraq was the "Right" thing to do to stop terrorism.

Jr. didn't invade Iraq. We never left Iraq. Eight years of the Clintonistas didn't change anything and Billary won't either.

I had one of them bad days today. Why are old people reluctant to change? I have some old coworkers who don't like working on the file server. The previous I.T. guy set up 20 workstations with no central authentication or file sharing, so now my users are used to working locally and emailing files back and forth. They also have no concept of backups. So I tried implementing this strategy today and everyone got confused when I mentioned sharing files on the server and how it makes my job easier. Ughhh................

There's a topic now?


But anyway, politics are a no-no.

Back OT: I'm in a bad mood, I fought my network for over a week, trying to understand why nothing was working. Only to find (And this is after double checking before crimping, double checking after crimping.) that I'd only gone and crimped the cable the wrong way round...

So I'd cut both ends off the cable and pulled it out of the floor, for somehting I could have seen if I had looked closer...

Ok...its a bad when a category 5 hurricane is heading your way and you have no way of leaving area which its going to hit.

Its an even worse day, when you survive the hurricane only to face the hazards of being stranded in a ruined city without enough food and water for all of the survivors.

In my mind it was an unconscionable failure of leadership to not evacuate as many people as possible when they had the chance.

Well, at least you know when a hurricane is coming. I live in California and I live right on top of a fault line. THere are little earthquakes now and then and it freaks me out. I hope the "big one" doesn't happen in my life time. IN the meantime, my data is being backed up to an off-site office. So, if I die my work can recover their data!
