HELPFUL HINTS

Here are a couple of nerdy things you might find useful.

bugmenot.com: Sometimes we have reading assignments or other links to news sites that require registration. Waste a bit less time by visiting bugmenot.com. They keep a list of usernames and passwords for most sites. Just plug it in, tell your browser to remember it if it asks, and next time you visit that site you probably won't be asked for it again.

snopes.com: Before you forward the latest hoax to everyone in your mailbox, check it out here. For example, remember that picture that was going around showing Jane Fonda and John Kerry speaking together at a rally? Search snopes and you'll find out that it was a fake.

a bit about google: Someone wrote in all bent out of shape because when you google "failure" President Bush's biography is the first result. This isn't really google's fault. This is the result of google bombing. What happens is a bunch of webloggers all link to the same page (Bush's bio) using a certain word (in this case "failure".) If enough people do this, it'll move that link up in the results for that search. Apparently leftie bloggers have been hammering at this for some time. You'll notice Michael Moore's site is second. So it isn't just a leftie phenomenon.

gmail accounts: If there's anyone on the planet who wants a gmail account and doesn't have one, email me. I've got 100 invites. Sorry, all gone. Thanks for playing!

LISTENER EMAILS

Today we'll give you a few more listener emails. Remember, typos and misspellings are left intact for your amusement.

Bob has some words for Delta employees:

If you are a Delta Employee please do not be concerned about your job or pension plan. Please be assured NO important employees are in danger of losing their jobs or pension plans. All employees who make over $1 million will be retained and their pension plans are guaranteed. Only unimportant employees (flight attendants, baggage handlers, ground crews, meachanics -- you know, "little people") face unemployment and loss of pension benefits. And, if you have been part of the management team that flew this company into the ground during the last 15 years, don't worry. Delta will continue to pay your consulting fees -- whether or not you do any additional damange.

Terry responds to my "vegetarian nonsense"

The only reason someone can choose to be a vegetarian is becuase they are supported in their perversity by a complex civilization with sufficient abundance permitting such indulgence.

The point being that a vegetarian eschews flesh because it has never been sufficiently hungry to require it to discard its philosophy. No civilization is more than three meals away from colapse and on that day, you'll fall on anything slower than yourself and consume it. Teeth and toenails.

Before that scenerio might occur, those of us here at the home long to meet a philosophical vegetarian with diabetes.

Mike has vegetarians all figured out

There is a reason to be a vegetarian but few of them know the answer. If someone starts that nonsense about cruelty et....I always ask about their leather shoes and leather belt.

The one reason to be vegetarian (other than not liking the taste of meat) is that it is a more efficient use of the agricultural resources. However, very few people consider such.

Most vegetarians are elitist snobs who don't have a clue as to why they do what they "say" they do.

Mark wants to know why Neal makes excuses for President Bush

Neal,

I have e mailed before, and my point is the same. I am a Republican, but I am embarassed by Bush. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why so many keep making excuses for the man. He is simply not performing to the degree that we need during these tumultuous times. Was the lack of response for Katrina his fault? Most of it was not, but did he lead? No sir, he did not. He is the face of America, and his lack of performance is nothing short of embarassing. And you can continue to make excuses about Iraq, and how well it's going, but that is simply not true. We are not in control of that situation, and whether or not that will ever happen is questionable at best. Neal, I am a fan, and I agree with you on many things, and I'm not bashing you. I just don't understand how an intelligent person such as you can continue making excuses for Bush. He is not the leader we so desparately need during these troubled times.

Norm has been listening to the show this week

I have actually tuned in to your show this week. It's not that the guest host is so GOOD, it's that you are so GONE!

Hating Your Return

Norm

Kate proposes

Neil,

I love your views on things. Nobody listens to me but you, they listen to.

I find you cruel and unkind and at some points evil, but you are kind of like a train wreck, a horrible thing to see but for some odd reason you cant stop staring at it....

Please marry me.

READING ASSIGNMENTS
