Ummm, he started talking with the hold-up guy.
very dangerous.
There was a very famous case, a few years ago in NYC where this famous Psychiatrist was in his apartment when he heard someone ring the doorbell - buzzer. Not wanting to answer the door for someone he assumed was trying to sell something, he Ignored it. A few minutes later he heard someone fiddleing with the door lock. He pulled a loaded .45 automatic out of a drawer next to the door and as soon as the armed break-in guy came in he shot him dead at point-blank range. At the inquest, he was exonerated, via "self-defence" At said inquest he was asked why he, being a Psychiatrist and all, didn't try to reason with the guy and try and talk him out of it!
His reply: Are you crazy? You cannot reason with someone like that, in that situation, and besides then I would lose any claim to a self-defence justification, and be liable for a murder charge myself!
When you are assaulted by an armed attacker, you use equivalent force first and ask questions later!

in Well, of course that’s what -he- said… on Digital Brainwaves
I find his comments hilarious!
Israel was a full fledged nation way before the Pars and the Medes invaded and occupied the Elamite kingdom!
And I got news for that "nut job in Iran", Israel will be around and viable long after "Iran" (a Shah Reza Pahlavi invention) is reduced to an uninhabited radioactive dust heap!

Why?
This guy was the "brains" behind Bush.
without him to do the thinking, we now have a zombie president.
I cannot overemphasize how incredibly dangerous this situation is for the USA and indeed the safety and security of the entire planet.
Make no mistake, it can get worse, a LOT WORSE without some kind of brains and/or responsibility at the helm...
Hey, how does President Cheney sound??? He's now the only one left to give advice that he trusts...

OMG, you are about to discover the tender mercies of being a Cingular (now AT&T wireless) customer...
Good Luck! (you'll need it!)
(Hot tip. They use GSM for a digital transmission medium, it's basically TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) with Spread Spectrum band-width tacked on. If you are in a weak signal area and have to make a call, shut the phone off, wait 10 seconds or so, switch it back on to force a re-synch with the time-base of your local cell tower and it will work MUCH better!)
(knowledge gained through much use of T-Mobile's network which is also GSM based and works way better than anyone else's network on the East and West Coasts...)

Why?
I mean, if you're going Vista, it is assumed that you have made provisions for all new drivers, all new Vista certified versions of the apps you run...
Right???
