Senator McCain betting on an al Qaeda attack?

  Senator John McCain has not been doing well in his attempt to get the Republican ticket.  People have been wondering if he is going to drop out of the race.
  John McCain is a fighter for sure. 
  I wonder if his statement "My presidency will be al Qaeda's worst nightmare" is him betting on us having a bad attack here at home.  We know they would love to hit us hard and hurt us.  We know they would love to do it near this 9/11 date.  We know they would love to do it before our election.
  I wonder if John McCain is betting on a successful terror attack on the United States here at home.
 
  I think if we get hit hard here soon that it will have an effect on the election.  I think it would help the Republicans.  They have been playing the fear card and hate card for years. 

  I would hate to see al Qaeda have any effect on our system here.

"My presidency will be al Qaeda's worst nightmare.”

"...Senator John McCain, R-Arizona, campaigned Friday in the Los Angeles area. In a statement, McCain said, “Osama bin Laden and his henchmen must be hunted down — and as president, I will. Al Qaeda terrorists and the violent, aggressive ideology they propagandize must be defeated across the globe, in Afghanistan and in Iraq, which bin Laden's top lieutenant calls al Qaeda's central battlefront against the United States. My presidency will be al Qaeda's worst nightmare....”  CNN

 

I have said here that John McCain is a great American.  He is a hero and we should honor him for his military service to the United States.
  But John McCain would not be al Qaeda's worst nightmare he would be out worst nightmare. 

   He has been a big fan and supporter of the war in Iraq.  He thinks we are winning the war.  He thinks we should stay in Iraq.  He has said that we need to send more troops into Iraq.
 
   Our attacking Iraq has made al Qaeda more powerful world wide.  When al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center on 9/11 much of the world turned their back on the organization.  ben Laden's own son left him  after the attack and he lost Afghanistan. Reports were that ben Laden's son felt he made a stupid mistake.   

   We were stupid to go into Iraq.  John McCain does not think we were wrong.
  John McCain was wrong then and he is wrong now and he is wrong because he can not learn and admit mistakes.
  We would be wrong to Jonn McCain as President of the United States.

Teacher Admits Sex with 5 Students

"Allenna Williams Ward, 23, a seventh-grade language arts teacher at Bell Middle School, had sex with several students in cars, parks, a hotel and at the school. 

She pleaded guilty Thursday to six charges -- three second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three lewd acts on a minor. Family members and her attorneys accompanied her as she made an emotional statement to the court..."

See story a WYFF site. 
I love these stories.  Is that sick?  I guess it is because I would have loved to have been a 14 year old boy and had my teacher have sex with me.  (Well I mean a female teacher.  Smile. I went to a Catholic high school and we had brothers as teachers.) 
I like to hear about these events but for this teacher she faces up to 105 years in prison. 
Something different about this case is that she is white and the boys were all black.  So race has entered into this case.  I suspect it will not be good for her.  I am sure the family of the boys will want extra punishment for her.

Update on ExpoTV

 

I found out additional information on the ExpoTV.  You do not get $10.00 for each video that you make for them.  They now have a range of payment depending on the subject of the video.  They have a 3-tiered ($2, $5, $10) category structure.  So most of the videos you make you get $2.00 for them. 
  You do get 2 cents each time a person watches one of your videos.
  Check out ExpoTV. 
  I have not made a video for them yet.  Maybe I will get one made in the next day or two.  I need to do a review of the Quickcam Pro 9000 webcam. 

  It was my hope to have some news for you today but I can't tell you anything yet.  Maybe I can later today but I am not sure. 

  Russ used his bank card to buy something recently and someone got his number and  used it to buy something.  So  lots of people buy things on line and worry about how safe it is to buy on line...this was in a store, in person, that he used his card and not on line.
  The bank noticed that the transaction looked odd ... not sure how they came up with that information but the locked his account and contacted him.  He told them that he had not made the transaction and they put the money back in his account. 
  I don't think Russell is going to be using his card any more.  He said he was going to pay cash from now on.

  When I got the QuickCam Pro 9000 camera I gave the Quickcam Ultra Vision too Russell.  He said I had sold his QuickCam 4000 on eBay.  I did not remember selling it but I gave him the QuickCam Ultra Vision.
  I was looking for something in my room and I found his Quickcam 4000 camera.  So I gave it to him and got back my Quickcam Ultra Vision.
  NOW I have two webcams.  I have one hooked up to each computer. 
  I often send out video using CameraWare.  You can see it at:  ShowMeCam

  If you have problems with the ShowMeCam link just go to Howard's Notebook and pick ShowMeCam from the menu. 

 

Belkin KVM Switch

  I walked over to CompUSA today and got a Belkin KVM switch ($40.00) and have it hooked up.  It is great.  I have one key board, one mouse and one monitor and I just hit a key and switch between computers.
  Right now on my left my old eMachine is running Windows XP Home edition and I have ShowMeCam running on it.  On my right I have my Systemax computer and it is running Linux.  Now I can re-boot it and run Windows XP also on this computer.  The screen setting for all of them is 1650 x 1050. 
  Right now I am very happy.  It does not take much to make me happy.

Ubuntu 7.04 32bit

  I installed Ubuntu 7.0 32 bit (Linux) on my main computer.  It is dual boot so I can boot into Linux or my Windows XP Home OS.  I just did it.  Everything seems to be working so far.
  I have the other computer running, my old eMachine, running and I have the web cam running on it.  I will try and get Skype working on the Linux computer but if I can't get it working it will be running on the old Windows computer.
  I love this install of Ubuntu.  I have installed Red Hat, openSUSU, Fedora 3 and others.  This Ubuntu is great.  (The open SUSE is very good.)
 
  Right now the only problem I am having is that I have two key boards, two mice and I get confused and start using the wrong one.  When I come up with $40.00 I will get the switch and cable and I will have access to both computers using just one key board and mouse.  I am using just one monitor right now now by using the PIP function of my Gateway 22 inch LCD monitor (FPD2275W).

Today is the release day for Silverlight.  I have it downloaded and installed on Firefox.  I am not sure if I have to download for IE or if one download will do the job.

Right of Way

  I am feeling very good.  I do not have the lower back pain.  I have had almost zero heart pains.  I am still very tired and weak however...but I feel good.
  I am at about 201 pounds.  I have lost weight.  The less I eat the better I feel.  The problem is that when I get some money and go to the store I will eat like a pig and I will add 10 pounds almost right away.

  I have both computers hooked up in my room and both are running Windows Home Edition.  I can't afford the Belkin 2 port KVM switch with built in cables so I have two key boards on the desk and two mice on the desk.  I am reaching for the wrong one all the time and it pisses me  off. But I do have just the one monitor and for both computers the screen resolution is 1680 x 1050.  That is working out well.  Soon as I can get down to just one key board and mouse things will be better.

  When we moved into this place it was apartments but it went condo.  So now we rent a condo.  The owner is in the South West of the United States.
  You have seen photos and videos that I have taken here.  You have seen the bridge over the canal.  The bridge is a foot bridge. 
  A lot of people use the foot bridge.  Most of them do not live here.  It is a short cut for many people.  Well the people here have a gate on the bridge now.  They have not put in the lock and they are not going to lock it until later this month.  We will have to pay $50.00 deposit for each key.  We will be allowed two keys.
  But what I am waiting to see is what happens to ALL those people that use the bridge and do not live here.  I may take my video camera out and record some videos.  There are going to be some pissed off and crazy people.
  If you do not use the  bridge it is a long walk around and the traffic is a major problem. 

  Unless FL has a state law on the books I think this would fall under common law and that the owners here have to deal with the common law of "Right Away" because people have been using this bridge for years.
  I think some people will do damage to the gate on the bridge.  It is going to be interesting.  I think this place is about to become a gated community.
