The Eclipse of Microsoft?
I've been a Microsoft customer for many years, and I think they added a great deal to our mighty technological civilization. I also believe that they have made enough money, and we may need to find some alternatives to their 90% dominance of the world computer market. Recently, a Linux-based graphics-oriented system called gOS has been released, and is being marketed by Google. This system is definitely geared towards the tech-savvy teens and twentysomethings of the 21st century. It has icons for a quick connection to Wikipedia and social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube. Best of all, it's free, and completely open-source. No more shelling out $300 for a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate! It has the Firefox browser, and the OpenOffice look-alike of Microsoft Office 2003. It's compatible with preexisting Office files as well. I've tried out the system, and it seems to run fairly reliably. Walmart has a $200 PC available running this system, which is considerably less than a similar $350 Windows Vista system with the same hardware. This show that Microsoft's weight on the PC industry is heavy indeed. So strike a blow for the forces of liberation, and try gOS!
...shall perish by the sword", as the Scripture tells us. Here pictured is Hussam Zahar, 24, son of Palestinian Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar, who died fighting Israeli military units in the Gaza strip. This definitely not a man of peace. He had already lost an elder brother several years ago during an unsuccessful Israeli asassination attempt on his father. As President Bush toured the Mideast, Islamic radicals continue to stir up trouble and conduct terrorist attacks throughout the region. We support PA President Mahmoud Abbas in his attempt to find a peaceful solution to differences with Israel. The forces of civilization must prevail against these evil militants!
Congratulations to Maha Rushie! The Number One radio talk show host has been named "Man of the Year" by Human Events magazine. They are recognizing his towering defense of conservative principles all through the year. He was attacked by the Left on several different occasions, including an unprecedented assault on him by Senate Majority Leader 'Dingy' Harry Reid. This was the famous 'phony soldier' story, where Reid and his nefarious tools attempted to twist Rush's words. Rush astutely pointed out a supposedly antiwar soldier who in fact was a fraud who never served in Iraq as he claimed. Reid jumped on this "case" and denounced Rush, a private citizen, on the floor of the Senate. This kind of tactic hasn't been used since the McCarthy era. He and his co-asassins were proven wrong, and Rush turned the tables by auctioning off a complaint letter signed by 44 Senate Democrat for $2.1 million. Matching it with an identical amount, Rush donated the entire $4.2 million to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. Rush is truly a King among men.
Today, right before the Iowa Caucuses, I am announcing my pick for President of United States. I am proud to endorse former NYC Mayor Rudi Giuliani for President. As a conservative, I have looked carefully over all of the well-qualified GOP candidates for president, and Rudy impresses me most of all. More than anything else, I am a national security conservative, and I am thoroughly convinced that Rudy will defend this country with determination and vigor. He proved his metal by showing strong leadership during one of our nation's darkest hours, the 9-11 Attack on NYC's World Trade Center. He also showed strength and determination in fighting organized crime in NY as a US Attorney under President Ronald Reagan. We do have some differences in social issues, but he wisely promised to appoint conservative judges in the mold of Justices Scalia and Thomas. That's good enough for me. Other candidates, like Gov. Huckabee of Arkansas are stronger on moral issues, but go soft on law enforcement and illegal immigration. We would all sleep more soundly with Rudy Giuliani as president in these turbulent times.
