Iraq Troop Withdrawal Resolution

Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr., Republican from North Carolina, has introduced a bipartisan resolution calling for President Bush to come up with a plan by the end of this year to withdraw the troops from Iraq, and for the withdrawal to start no later than October of 2006. Rep. Jones became famous for changing the name of the french fries in the congressional cafeteria to "Freedom Fries" when France came out against invading Iraq. He also represents Marine Corps base Camp Lejeune, where many new recruits go for basic training, so it is significant that he is publicly breaking with Bush policy. This is how quagmires like this end. First the public support drops, and polls already show American' support for this war declining. Next, Congress begins to pressure the administration to come up with a way out. That is what this resolution does. Finally, if the administration continues to fight calls for withdrawal, Congress pulls the plug on the money. That is how the war in Vietnam eventually ended. To push this process along, we need members of Congress to join the two Republicans and two Democrats introducing this resolution. Please send a message to your congressperson asking him or her to sign on and vote for it.

I'm all about forcing bush and friends to wrap things up over there and get our troops out of harm's way. Every day we're over there without a clear exit strategy, is another day we have good hardworking people killed with IEDs and RPGs with no end in sight. It was bad to go into the war without a clear plan on how to win, but to be 2 years into it with no idea is ludicrous. Our troops are doing their part, why isn't the commander in chief doing his?

The wonders of the +G flag in Unreal IRCd

[pjustice] Grr! Coprophiliac helix server mangles ithyphallic quicktime files as it delivers them. Phallus at 11.
[myself] Is this likely the result of spongiform encephelopathy on the part of the designers, or some perniciously evil interaction with other software?
[pjustice] As it seems not to matter which promiscuous programmatics are used, I suspect the former osteocephalics of copulating it all up.
* myself falls over
[pjustice] In case anyone's G-flag mind is apogenous today, my thersitical language indicates that I'm brassed off.
[myself] revenge of thesaurus rex!
[pjustice] YES!
[pjustice] Oddly, I'm finding that coming up with all this prolix scatology is good (as in reduces the inflammation of) the desire to impel perfectly functional hardware into a defenestratory predicament.
[AmishOne-work] Stop now. We must encourge the desire to propel copper coated lead into hardware at supersonic velocities thus resulting in stress relief.

Oh man, this is precisely why I set the +G flag. It was totally worth it. I absolutely love this excrement.
(The +G flag on an IRC channel on a server running Unreal IRCd censors most common swear words – I set it with the intent of people coming up with more creative outlets for anger than lame ass swear words. Totally awesome.)

hah, and I went through a stack of old milk crates containing my childhood book collection.

It consists of mostly hobbyist magazines, religious texts from at least 2 different religions that I never was a member of (for reading about them), weird dated textbooks and educational books from the early half of the 20th century ("A first electrical book for boys" is among my favorites). A 6th grade reading text I got as a gift when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, a few books from my childhood, a book on cool things like dinosaurs, and all kinds of scientific study stuff, old manuals for programming assembly on CP/M, printouts of all kinds of amusing things like scripts to log into bbses and check my email, stuff like that. There's an actual copy of a magazine specializing in users of DOS in the pile somewhere. One of the articles debated the utility of defragmentation, talking about all the bloat in DOS 6.22.

I just thought that was awesome.
