Time to initiate a new category.
Well, seems the General here has got to enter the 21st century when it comes to staying in contact with the HQ and Battlestaff. Up until now, all I’ve ever used to stay in contact when I was off-base was your plain old simple cell phone. And for the most part I’ve stuck with Motorola RAZR phone for the past couple of years because of the big screen and small overall footprint.
But remember, your General is also a closet Linux fanboy. I still have a working Sharp ZAURUS SL-5500 that I tinker with every once and a while. Ahh, the good ol’ days of yore…….
So, when the HTC Dream was announced would use the Google Android mobile OS my interest perked up again. So much so, that today I cranked up my T-Mobile (yup, I use T-Mobile….when you get the kind of discount on the service I get, it was an easy decision) site and put my pre-order in for the G1 in lovely black. Yes, I’ve already read a bunch of the coverage on the G1, and yes I’m aware of the shortcomings the G1 has. but my opinion is that the things that the G1 is doing right is enough to outweigh the minor inconvenience of not having a headphone jack. Yes I know it also is missing Exchange/Outlook support by default, but I’m certain the developer community will have that shortcoming eliminated by the offical release date of October 22nd, prolly with a few days to spare!
As I said, to initiate the “Technology-ery” category I’m going to post about the G1 and my thoughts about it as it arrives next month. I’ll also try to cover the apps that I’ll add to the phone to make my life easier as I transition to a “smartphone” and the needs I’ll have that the phone will meet (hopefully).
Stay tuned.
ThatIsAll™.
Another giant of the screen and film has passed. Paul Newman passed away today at his home in Westbury, Connecticut. Go here and here for further coverage.
Even though he was clearly liberal in his political dealings, between Steve McQueen and a select few others, Paul Newman defined “cool” in the movies. Not to mention, Paul was darn good as well inside a race car. It was said that he would adjust his filming schedule to ensure he could get as much time at the track as was possible. Not only was Paul a driver, but he also was a car/team owner once he couldn’t race anymore.
And doggonnit, he made a really decent line of salad dressings.
He will be missed.
Looks like B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi’s Gestapo “truth squad” goons aren’t wasting any time:
A team of Obama-supporting prosecutors and sheriffs in Missouri is preparing to pursue legal challenges to any presidential campaign ads deemed to be false or misleading.
KMOV-TV in St. Louis reports District Attorney Robert McCulloch, a past president of the National District Attorneys Association, said that whether the ads could be attributed to an opponent’s campaign itself, or another organization, “If they’re not going to tell the truth, somebody’s got to step up and say, ‘That’s not the truth. This is the truth.'”
Would that be truth like, “B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi is a socialist, needle-dicked pussy faggot who doesn’t even possess the testicles in his family”?  Or perhaps, “B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi is nothing but a Shit-cago political machine hack  who doesn’t have the balls to fight his own fights, but has to hire thugs to do his fighting for him”?
That kind of truth, you mean?
The effort appeared to be part of a move by the Obama campaign to block advertisements to which it objects. The campaign also sent “threatening” letters to several news agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio demanding they stop airing ads exposing Obama’s gun stance, according to the National Rifle Association.
The NRA’s Political Victory Fund condemned the attempt at censorship.
“Barack Obama and his campaign are terrified of the truth,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of organization. “Sen. Obama’s statements and support for restricting access to firearms, raising taxes on guns and ammunition and voting against the use of firearms for self-defense in the home are a matter of public record. NRA-PVF will make sure that everyone knows of Obama’s abysmal record on guns and hunting.”
All one has to do is look at the state of Ill-noise and their Second Amendment-violating draconian gun laws to figure that  out.  That’d probably be agenda item number five – right after surrendering in Iraq, surrendering in Afghanistan, re-imposing the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” and extending it to the Blogosphere, and signing an Executive Order mandating infanticide.
(How’m I doing on those truths so far, Obastard?  Got enough yet to send your brownshirts after me?)
The Obama campaign declined to respond to a WND request for comment.
Probably getting ready to sue WorldNetDaily for even daring to print the story.
The KMOV report said the campaign was being conducted by McCulloch and another prosecutor, Jennifer Joyce, along with a number of sheriffs throughout the state.
“They will be reminding voters that Barack Obama is a Christian who wants to cut taxes for anyone who makes less than $250,000 a year. They also say they plan to respond immediately to any ads and statements that violate Missouri’s ethics laws,” the report said.
(sigh) I wasn’t going to do this anymore, but this can’t stand.
Hey, ObamaNazis!

Come say it to my face, you fucking chickenshit pussies!
Make sure whomever your ball-less, dickless Obamassiah decides to send to serve me the papers brings a bodybag and has his affairs in order.
Fucking brownshirt cowards.
