This and that

Click Here for the apocalypse

Did you ever touch that one park bench with the "Do Not Touch, Fresh Paint" sign on it? If you are like me, you just have to reach over and touch it.

I guess the same can be said for a lot of people, thanks to security professional Didier Stevens who has been running a Google campaign for six months now and has received 409 hits on an ad that offers infection for those with virus-free PCs.

The fact that people are actually clicking on something telling them will infect their computer is too much. I mean, come on, we can't make stuff like this up, even if we tried.

This leads me to think of all the fun we could have with a click here to bounce a check, or many other fun things we could all think of.

President Carter said what?

The world is on the brink of total insanity, our military is awaiting funding, all the while wondering if they will have to begin to purchase their own bullets and President Jimmy Carter has finally found a set.

President Carter's administration was filled with high gasoline prices, endless lines at the gas stations and American's held hostage in Iran. The President and his family wore sweaters, kept the White House thermostat turned down and vowed not to leave the White House until the hostages were safely home. He had a long wait.

The President's brother, Billy was a favorite of the media and the darling of beer drinkers everywhere. We loved him, he was our man and he relished in the limelight.

All in all, the Carter Presidency was boring and mundane. It was evident that Jimmy was more comfortable in Georgia than the fast paced moments of being the most powerful man in the free world.

Fast forward to today and we have Jimmy Carter talking to the media and saying what a terrible job President Bush has done and how bad his preemptive military strategies in the Middle East are and the damage they have done.

Of course, that was until the media got hold of it, now it is time for all the spin control.

Just when we all thought that President Carter found a set and he backtracks.
