02:15 pm - Physical Fitness is a bunch of Hippy Bullshit
So, it's official. God doesn't want me to exercise. I'm not fit to be fit.
I broke another fucking exercise machine. This time it was a ProForm C630 elliptical machine that cost me 200 bucks at the end of November. The first machine to go was a Gazelle Supra; fuck that Tony Little and his god damned hydraulic pistons!
The elliptical machine seems to have suffered from a critical design flaw; namely, the ability to be sold to me. I somehow broke the weld connecting the two foot pedals. I have no idea how the fuck I did this. The only thing I can come up with is that I weigh too god damn much for these dinky little pussy machines. Either that or they simply weren't designed to be used on a daily basis for long periods of time. Let's face it, most people who buy home exercise equipment never use it. So why would the companies who manufacture this shit waste the resources to design a quality product? It's like auto recalls. What's more expensive, recalling things and fixing them or just dealing with all the lawsuits?
Anyway, I think I'll get a rowing machine next. I wonder how I'll manage to break that.

So, I got this goofy ass Firefox extension called "Just Blog It" that gives me a context menu button that brings me straight to the posting page of my livejournal.
It's neat, I guess. Too bad it doesn't help me with shit to write about.
Oh, and by the way, I'm still pissed about Star Trek.

01:23 pm - Damnit...
So, I haven't posted on this thing in a while. Since I got a new job, I think.
That's going well enough, if you care.
That's not what I'm writing about, though.
Those fuckers over at Viacom cancelled Star Trek.
God damned ass raping cock baron cum slurping fuck demons.
As if there already wasn't enough dork joy in my life, they go and take Star Trek off the air?
I can't even remember what it's like to live in a Trek-less world. The Next Generation came on the air in 1987 when I was 6 years old.
All I can say is thank god for Stargate and Battlestar Gallactica. If not for them, I may actually have to do some god awful outdoorsy thing.
Fuck...

09:36 am - This needs to be read.
This story was only reported on CNN's website for about 2 hours yesterday evening, a day when most people probably weren't interested in news.
It needs to be publicized more. So, far, the only other place I've found it is in the AP section of yahoo news.
This man really is a disgrace.

Bush's National Guard File Missing Records
By MATT KELLEY, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Documents that should have been written to explain gaps in President Bush (news - web sites)'s Texas Air National Guard service are missing from the military records released about his service in 1972 and 1973, according to regulations and outside experts.
For example, Air National Guard regulations at the time required commanders to write an investigative report for the Air Force when Bush missed his annual medical exam in 1972. The regulations also required commanders to confirm in writing that Bush received counseling after missing five months of drills.
No such records have been made public and the government told The Associated Press in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that it has released all records it can find.
Outside experts suggest that National Guard commanders may not have produced documentation required by their own regulations.
"One of the downfalls back then in the National Guard was that not everyone wanted to be chief of staff of the Air Force. They just wanted to fly or maintain airplanes. So the record keeping could have been better," said retired Maj. Gen. Paul A. Weaver Jr., a former head of the Air National Guard. He said the documents may not have been kept in the first place.
Challenging the government's declaration that no more documents exist, the AP identified five categories of records that should have been generated after Bush skipped his pilot's physical and missed five months of training.
"Each of these actions by any member of the National Guard should have generated the creation of many documents that have yet to be produced," AP lawyer David Schulz wrote the Justice Department (news - web sites) Aug. 26.
White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said there were no other documents to explain discrepancies in Bush's files.
Military service during the Vietnam War has become an issue in the presidential election as both candidates debate the current wars in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites).
Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) commanded a Navy Swift boat in Vietnam and was awarded five medals, including a Silver Star. But his heroism has been challenged in ads by some veterans who support Bush.
The president served stateside in the Air National Guard during Vietnam. Democrats have accused him of shirking his Guard service and getting favored treatment as the son of a prominent Washington figure.
The AP talked to experts unaffiliated with either campaign who have reviewed Bush's files for missing documents. They said it was not unusual for guard commanders to ignore deficiencies by junior officers such as Bush. But they said missing a physical exam, which caused him to be grounded, was not common.
"It's sort of like a code of honor that you didn't go DNF (duty not including flying)," said retired Air Force Col. Leonard Walls, who flew 181 combat missions over Vietnam. "There was a lot of pride in keeping combat-ready status."
Bush has said he fulfilled all his obligations. He was in the Texas Air National Guard from 1968 to 1973 and was trained to fly F-102 fighters.
"I'm proud of my service," Bush told a rally last weekend in Lima, Ohio.
Records of Bush's service have significant gaps, starting in 1972. Bush has said he left Texas that year to work on the unsuccessful Senate campaign in Alabama of family friend Winton Blount.
The five kinds of missing files are:
_A report from the Texas Air National Guard to Bush's local draft board certifying that Bush remained in good standing. The government has released copies of those DD Form 44 documents for Bush for 1971 and earlier years but not for 1972 or 1973. Records from Bush's draft board in Houston do not show his draft status changed after he joined the guard in 1968. The AP obtained the draft board records Aug. 27 under the Freedom of Information Act.
_Records of a required investigation into why Bush lost flight status. When Bush skipped his 1972 physical, regulations required his Texas commanders to "direct an investigation as to why the individual failed to accomplish the medical examination," according to the Air Force manual at the time. An investigative report was supposed to be forwarded "with the command recommendation" to Air Force officials "for final determination."
Bush's spokesmen have said he skipped the exam because he knew he would be doing desk duty in Alabama. But Bush was required to take the physical by the end of July 1972, more than a month before he won final approval to train in Alabama.
_A written acknowledgment from Bush that he had received the orders grounding him. His Texas commanders were ordered to have Bush sign such a document; but none has been released.
_Reports of formal counseling sessions Bush was required to have after missing more than three training sessions. Bush missed at least five months' worth of National Guard training in 1972. No documents have surfaced indicating Bush was counseled or had written authorization to skip that training or make it up later. Commanders did have broad discretion to allow guardsmen to make up for missed training sessions, said Weaver and Lawrence Korb, Pentagon (news - web sites) personnel chief during the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1985.
"If you missed it, you could make it up," said Korb, who now works for the Center for American Progress, which supports Kerry.
_A signed statement from Bush acknowledging he could be called to active duty if he did not promptly transfer to another guard unit after leaving Texas. The statement was required as part of a Vietnam-era crackdown on no-show guardsmen. Bush was approved in September 1972 to train with the Alabama unit, more than four months after he left Texas.
Bush was approved to train in September, October and November 1972 with the Alabama Air National Guard's 187th Tactical Reconnaissance Group. The only record tying Bush to that unit is a dental exam at the group's Montgomery base in January 1973. No records have been released giving Bush permission to train with the 187th after November 1972.
Walls, the Air Force combat veteran, was assigned to the 187th in 1972 and 1973 to train its pilots to fly the F-4 Phantom. Walls and more than a dozen other members of the 187th say they never saw Bush. One member of the unit, retired Lt. Col. John Calhoun, has said he remembers Bush showing up for training with the 187th.
Pay records show Bush was credited for training in January, April and May 1973; other files indicate that service was outside Texas.
A May 1973 yearly evaluation from Bush's Texas unit gives the future president no ratings and stated Bush had not been seen at the Texas base since April 1972. In a directive from June 29, 1973, an Air Force personnel official pressed Bush's unit for information about his Alabama service.
"This officer should have been reassigned in May 1972," wrote Master Sgt. Daniel P. Harkness, "since he no longer is training in his AFSC (Air Force Service Category, or job title) or with his unit of assignment."
Then-Maj. Rufus G. Martin replied Nov. 12, 1973: "Not rated for the period 1 May 72 through 30 Apr 73. Report for this period not available for administrative reasons."
By then, Texas Air National Guard officials had approved Bush's request to leave the guard to attend Harvard Business School; his last days of duty were in July 1973.

08:55 am - I love this article!
I also love the fact that Bush's speech isn't the frontpage headline on a lot of the major news outlets. Oddly, thank god for the hurricane and those Russian school children.
Now if only Kerry would actually make a speech defending himself, he might actually be able to quell all this soft on defense shit...

GOP Prism Distorts Some Kerry Positions
By Glenn Kessler and Dan Morgan
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, September 3, 2004; Page A01
Speakers at this week's Republican convention have relentlessly attacked John F. Kerry for statements he has made and votes he has taken in his long political career, but a number of their specific claims -- such as his votes on military programs -- are at best selective and in many cases stripped of their context, according to a review of the documentation provided by the Bush campaign.
As a senator, Kerry has long been skeptical of big-ticket weapons systems, especially when measured against rising budget deficits, and to some extent he opened himself to this line of attack when he chose to largely skip over his Senate career during his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention last month. But the barrage by Republicans at their own convention has often misportrayed statements or votes that are years, if not decades, old.
For instance:</nitf>
• Kerry did not cast a series of votes against individual weapons systems, as Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.) suggested in a slashing convention speech in New York late Wednesday, but instead Kerry voted against a Pentagon spending package in 1990 as part of deliberations over restructuring and downsizing the military in the post-Cold War era.
• Both Vice President Cheney and Miller have said that Kerry would like to see U.S. troops deployed only at the direction of the United Nations, with Cheney noting that the remark had been made at the start of Kerry's political career. This refers to a statement made nearly 35 years ago, when Kerry gave an interview to the Harvard Crimson, 10 months after he had returned from the Vietnam War angry and disillusioned by his experiences there. (President Bush at the time was in the Air National Guard, about to earn his wings.)
• President Bush, Cheney and Miller faulted Kerry for voting against body armor for troops in Iraq. But much of the funding for body armor was added to the bill by House Democrats, not the administration, and Kerry's vote against the entire bill was rooted in a dispute with the administration over how to pay for $20 billion earmarked for reconstruction of Iraq.
In remarks prepared for delivery last night, Kerry denounced the Republican convention for its "anger and distortion" and criticized Cheney for avoiding the military draft during the Vietnam era.
Bush campaign spokesman Terry Holt defended the statements made by convention speakers, though he declined to address details beyond supplying the campaign's citations of votes. "Whether it was in the '70s, '80s or '90s, Sen. Kerry has demonstrated a general pattern of hostility to a strong national defense," Holt said.
Votes cast by lawmakers are often twisted by political opponents, and both political parties are adept at combing through legislative records to score political points. Former senator Robert J. Dole's voting record was frequently distorted by the Clinton campaign eight years ago -- as well as by his GOP rivals for the Republican nomination.
One document frequently cited by Republicans is a 350-word article in the Boston Globe, written when Kerry was lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and battling to win the Democratic nomination for senator in 1984 -- a period of soaring deficits in the wake of a huge defense buildup by President Ronald Reagan. Calling for a "strong defense," the article said, Kerry proposed to slow the rate of growth in defense spending by canceling 27 weapons systems, in part to reduce the deficit and also restore cuts Reagan had made in domestic programs.
While Cheney said Kerry opposed Reagan's "major defense initiatives," the campaign does not cite any votes against such defense programs while Reagan was president, relying instead on a campaign speech before he was elected senator.
Six years later, Kerry took part in a complex and serious debate in Congress over how to restructure the military after the Cold War.
Cheney, at the time defense secretary, had scolded Congress for keeping alive such programs as the F-14 and F-16 jet fighters that he wanted to eliminate. Miller said in his speech that Kerry had foolishly opposed both the weapons systems and would have left the military armed with "spitballs." During that same debate, President George H.W. Bush, the current president's father, proposed shutting down production of the B-2 bomber -- another weapons system cited by Miller -- and pledged to cut defense spending by 30 percent in eight years.
Though Miller recited a long list of weapons systems, Kerry did not vote against these specific weapons on the floor of the Senate during this period. Instead, he voted against an omnibus defense spending bill that would have funded all these programs; it is this vote that forms the crux of the GOP case that he "opposed" these programs.
On the Senate floor, Kerry cast his vote in terms of fiscal concerns, saying the defense bill did not "represent sound budgetary policy" in a time of "extreme budget austerity." Much like Bush's father, he singled out the B-2 bomber for specific attention, saying it is "one of the most costly, waste-ridden programs in a long history of waste, fraud and abuse scandals that have plagued Pentagon spending."
Asked why the campaign was attacking Kerry for having similar positions as Cheney, White House communications director Dan Bartlett responded: "I don't have the specifics of [when] then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney was in charge of the Pentagon, but I think we'd be more than willing to have a debate on whether Dick Cheney or John Kerry was stronger on defense."
Appearing on CNN, Miller said he had "gotten documentation on every single one of those votes that I talked about."
Cheney, in his own speech, skipped over that period, going directly from Kerry's vote against authorization for the first Persian Gulf War to the post-Sept. 11, 2001, period.
Republican documents also cite a long list of Kerry votes against various weapons systems, including the B-2 bomber. But Kerry's opposition in the 1990s often hinged on his concerns about the impact on the budget deficit of congressional efforts to add money for the plane.
"We are going to build B-2 bombers even though the Pentagon does not want the B-2 bombers, even though the Pentagon never submitted a request for the B-2 bombers," Kerry said during a budget debate in October 1995.
Kerry's vote last year against the administration's $87 billion proposal to fund troops in Iraq and pay for Iraqi reconstruction has also been the focus of Republican attacks. "My opponent and his running mate voted against this money for bullets, and fuel, and vehicles, and body armor," Bush said last night.
Kerry actually supported all those things, but as part of a different version of the bill opposed by the administration. At the time, many Republicans were uncomfortable with the administration's plans and the White House had to threaten a veto against the congressional version to bring reluctant lawmakers in line.
In a floor statement explaining his vote, Kerry said he favored the $67 billion for the troops on the ground -- "I support our troops in Iraq and their mission" -- but faulted the administration's $20 billion request for reconstruction. He complained that administration "has only given us a set of goals and vague timetables, not a detailed plan."
Yesterday, the State Department said that only $1 billion of that money has been spent in the 11 months since the bill was passed.

12:16 pm - So, I hate my job.
And I have nothing better to do than tell you about it.
As I sit here writing this, it's about 11:30 in the morning. Since I got here this morning at 8:30, I have read every article on CNN.com, The Washington Post website, The New York Times website, BBCnews.com, Yahoo News and the fucking Sun Sentinel. I've also read several threads and made several posts at Trekbbs.com, had an hour and half long conversation with one of my co-workers about how English is a bastardized language, made a trip to Starbucks and had phone conversations with both my aunt and my girlfriend. And it's only 11:30.
Now, some may find my work habits a little lax and might argue that I'm wasting my employer's time and money. To them, I say yes, you are absolutely right. But here's the thing; I don't care. I will never care. In fact, if I was given the opportunity, I would care even less.
To fully understand the hatred I have for my vocation, you must first understand my educational background and the varying specifics of my job. I have a B.A. in Political Science - International Relations/ Comparative Politics with an emphasis on security policy. I've also got a minor in Legal Studies, which effectively makes me a trained paralegal. I am currently employed as a Federal Contractor with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Silver Spring, MD, a suburb of Washington, D.C. In my current capacity at NOAA, I am charged with the daily maintenance of the headquarters branch personal property records (file bitch) and the NOAA property catalog (trained monkey minus the feces). As I most often put it, a retarded fucking monkey could do my job. To which my friends reply, you're basically paid not get feces everywhere. And that's pretty much correct.
My daily responsibilities include making labels, putting files away, and typing 4 to 5 lines of text into the property database whenever a request comes in. On any given day, I do about 10 minutes of actual work.
I spent four years in college learning about the political systems of dozens of countries and the various intricacies of US security policy just so I could get a worthless job that any idiot who dropped out of high school could do. I'm so glad I spent all that money on my education. Granted, I went to school in the South (Florida), which, as we all know, isn't famous for it's institutions of high learning, but still. You'd think that even with a degree from a shitty school, I'd be able to get a job that requires at least some activity in my prefrontal cortex. Not one where I can actually feel myself getting dumber every moment I spend sitting at my desk.
Oh, that brings me to another aspect of why I hate my job; cubicles. Who the fuck thought these god damned things up? What kind of cock smoking fuck whore came up with the idea to put workers in little symmetrical boxes with half walls and no doors? Was it to give the worker the illusion of privacy? Why bother? There's no god damned door or ceiling. Sound travels out of these things like they were originally designed to be miniature amphitheaters. And I swear to God almighty that if I have to listen to one more god damned phone conversation about how the lady across from me can't get her fucking computer to print in color, I'm gonna kill myself. No one cares that you can't print in color. No one, damnit! Just get over it. I've been working here since September and the only time I've ever used the color printer was to print out Star Trek starship schematics, which, as you might have guessed, isn't a necessary part of my official duties. So, shut the blue fuck up already!
Oh, and another thing about these stupid cubicles; they're set up so that whoever sits in it has their back to the entrance. Talk about fueling paranoia. I am not, by nature, a very calm person to begin with. But put me in a situation where I have people popping up behind me at any given time and I just go fucking nuts. It's not like anyone knocks before they come in, because, after all, there's no god damned door.
Fuck fuck fuck. It's only a quarter after 12 now. Damnit, I really wish terrorist would attack. Then I'd at least have something to do. But no, I had to go and get a job at fucking NOAA; NOAA!!!!!! Who the hell has ever heard of NOAA, let alone have any reason to attack it? It's not even usefull as a symbolic target of attack against the federal government because - oh, who gives a shit...
I'm done. I've reached the point of frustration where I don't even have the will to bitch anymore...

05:32 pm - The Great Confusinator
So, former President Reagan died.
I suppose that would be a shame if he hadn't been treated as dead for the past 10 or so years. There are so many things named after him that it's almost like he single handedly invented guns, made bullets, killed the entire British army, wrote the constitution, tamed the west, kicked Hitler in the nuts, bitch slapped Hirohito, made a bunch of shitty movies and then told Gorbachev where to stick it. You know, it's not like he wandered aimlessly through is presidency. Its not like his economic policies weren't responislbe for for a staggering inflation rate. It's not like he didn't refuse to Acknowledge the existence of Aids.
A couple of months ago there was campaign to Kennedy with Reagan on the Dime. That, thankfully, failed even though Kennedy was, himself, rather lacklust... aside from getting shot, of course... Anyway, now some dipshit from Kentucky wants to put him on the 10 dollar bill.
http://money.cnn.com/2004/06/08/news/economy/reagan_hamilton/index.htm?cnn=yes
This would oust Alexander Hamilton, one ofthe few hisotircal statesmen who was a genuine badass. Not only was this man the illegitimate son of prostitute (that's a "Bastard Son of a Whore," for all those who prefer more colorful semantics), but he was the first treasury seacretary and is pretty much responsible for the creation of our currency. Of all historical figures in US history, this is a man who deserves to be on our money. Also, in a true testament to his badassidy, he died in duel; a fucking duel! And not only that, but a duel with the god damned Vice President! Yes, Aaron Burr murdered Alexander Hamilton. And what's more is that Hamilton actually got a shot off and hit Burr. The shot didn't kill him, though and Hamilton stood there like a man and waited for Burr to recover. And they wanna replace this guy with Reagan? Some schmuck who when the country went to war joined the Army to make movies about the dangers of fucking foreign prostitutes? Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, everyone contributed in there own way, I suppose; but still.
Anyway, I'm sort of surprised at all this hollabalou about his death. With all the shit around the country named after him I'm surprised more people didn't think he was dead already. The big media outlets have had preprepared eulogy stories about his death on unlinked portions of their websites for years. Even Fox did this, which is both suprising and not at the same time, given their seemingly infinite regard for Reagan and all things conservative.
President Bush declared Friday and national day of mourning too, and closed the federal government. Which means I get something of a day off. Which is sort of good, except for the fact that I won't get paid for it because I'm a contractor and not a civil service employee. So fuck Bush and damn Reagan for not dying either before I got this job, or after I've left it.
Damnit Damnit Damnit!
I'm just mad. Like really, really mad. More than I really should be since I was only 8 when the man left office. His "legacy," however, seems to haunt me wherever I go. For starters, his refusal to ackowledge the exitence of aids didn't exactly help my uncle, who during the Reagan Administration was slowly and unknowingly dying from it. Then there are the still lasting effects of his Latin America and Middle East policies that have rather overtly influence every aspect of daily life in the United States. Supporting corrupt regimes and secretly training rebel mercenaries to overthrow unsympathetic governments lead to the massive influx of illegal narcotics and the overal hatred of the United States throughout world. His economic policies lead to virtually impoverished the lower middle class and so widened the gap between the wealthy and the poor that our entire economic system became so polarized that it may never return to its previous demographic spread. His policies of trading arms for a variety of economic concessions and favors in the Midle East lead to the underlying animosity towards the West and hastened the movement that eventually lead to the September 11th attacks. Man, I could go on, but I'm getting depressed thinking about how a President responsible for such suffering around the world gets Airports and Turnpikes named after him so enthusiatically.
Ugh, it's just disgusting.

09:02 am - I love Wesley Clark so much I almost wish I was gay...
And here's why:
Below is the full body of a New York Times editorial written by Gen. Clark.
The editorial can be found at the following address, but you must first register with the newspaper in order to read it.
A Sterling Record

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
A Sterling Record
By WESLEY K. CLARK
Published: April 28, 2004
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.
When John Kerry released his military records to the public last week, Americans learned a lot about Mr. Kerry's exceptional service in Vietnam. They also learned a lot about the Republican attack machine.
The evaluations were uniformly glowing. One commander wrote that Mr. Kerry ranked among "the top few" in three categories: initiative, cooperation and personal behavior. Another commander wrote, "In a combat environment often requiring independent, decisive action, Lt. j.g. Kerry was unsurpassed." The citation for Mr. Kerry's Bronze Star praises his "calmness, professionalism and great personal courage under fire."
In the United States military, there's no ideology � there are no labels, Republican or Democrat � when superiors evaluate a man or woman's service to country. Mr. Kerry's commander for a brief time, Grant Hibbard, now a Republican, gave Mr. Kerry top marks 36 years ago.
Now the standards are those of politics, not the military. Despite his positive evaluations, Mr. Hibbard recently questioned whether Mr. Kerry deserved one of his three Purple Hearts.
In the heat of a political campaign, attacks come from all directions. That's why John Kerry's military records are so compelling; they measure the man before his critics or his supporters saw him through a political lens. These military records show that John Kerry served his country with valor, and that those who served with him and above him held him in high regard. That's honor enough for any veteran.
Yet the Republican attack machine follows a pattern we've seen before, whether the target is Senator John McCain in South Carolina in 2000 or Senator Max Cleland in Georgia in 2002. The latest manifestation of these tactics is the controversy over Mr. Kerry's medals.
John Kerry was awarded three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and a Silver Star for his service in Vietnam. In April 1971, as part of a protest against the war, he threw some ribbons over the fence of the United States Capitol.
Republicans have tried to use this event to question his patriotism and his truthfulness, claiming he has been inconsistent in saying whether he threw away his medals or ribbons. This is no more than a political smear. After risking his life in Vietnam to save others, John Kerry earned the right to speak out against a war he believed was wrong. Make no mistake: it is that bravery these Republicans are now attacking.
Although President Bush has not engaged personally in such accusations, he has done nothing to stop others from making them. I believe those who didn't serve, or didn't show up for service, should have the decency to respect those who did serve � often under the most dangerous conditions, with bravery and, yes, with undeniable patriotism.
Wesley K. Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate, was commander of NATO forces from 1997 to 2000.
