I’m taking a break from anime backgrounds for a while (stop the presses!) for this photo taken of the Dequindre Cut in Detroit of all places!

This isn’t a technology or cute anime story, but I felt compelled to comment on it. Here’s the link to the story, and here’s the comment: Dick Cheney is a war criminal and should be tried as such in a civilian court. He didn’t want to give full civilian court rights to suspected terrorists, but I’m a reasonable person.

I know these two quick observations are oversimplifications of broader, more complex issues, but I’m going to observe anyway. Have you ever noticed oversimplification is a less simple word than simplification?

Well that’s just a tad bit worrying.
Delta chief executive Richard Anderson has reiterated his bullish view that the carrier’s large fleet of ageing Boeing MD-80s retain a cost advantage over newer Boeing 737-800s that is largely driven by lower ownership costs.

I wish I’d thought of that, geniusness! Overheard from some American tourists at a Starbucks this morning. They also claim McCain said the United States was founded as a "Christian nation". A legally secular theocracy, I must admit that’s a new one to me John.
Yes Obama has fudged several things and hasn’t been able to fix eight years of horror in one, but I’m still relieved beyond belief.
Kevin Rudd on the other hand…

It’s another Audible blog post; one would think I’m a beginning to develop an obsession. In this case though it’s their filing of Going Rogue [allegedly] written by Sarah Palin under… Nonfiction. I tell you what, when all is said and done, it’s good to see the database maintainers on Audible have a sense of humour… by golly, you betcha!
In related news, I’m terrified both of Sarah Palin and the fact she’s being taken seriously by so many people in the US. I’m dead serious. It makes be break out in a cold sweat thinking just how close she became to essentially being vice president of Earth in 2008, and how she’s already being tipped for 2012.
You know what, I might listen to the book though, if only to be fair. I wonder if she read Dreams from my Father?

Having just talked about him yesterday (Keith Olbermann’s Countdown as a podcast), I just found out through his show’s site you can buy a Keith Olbermann bobblehead complete with a little desk!
Keith Olbermann Bobblehead — Now you can sit down with your favorite MSNBC personality, Keith Olbermann. This new bobblehead features the talk show host seated at his Countdown desk. You’ll have a front row seat for all the action.
I reckon he’d go great with my anime figures, they could all set up some sort of weird newsroom ^_^. If anyone wants to buy me one, let me know and I’ll forward you my address. Don’t all rush to offer at once!

Ever since I saw his thorough, well constructed, passionate and fast paced rebuttal of Bill O’Reilly’s Malmedy massacre faux pas and subsequent refusal to apologise, I’ve been a bit of a Keith Olbermann fan. His Countdown programme focuses on five American news stories from that day along with the reoccurring Worst Person in The World and other tongue in cheek segments.

I’m sorry, I know I keep talking about things that aren’t technology related but something has been bugging me. The stunning US Navy photo above of the USNS Mercy framed with a rainbow might give you an indication on what this post will be about, if you couldn’t discern from the title.
