Dear Senators Boxer and Feinstein,
I am disgusted by the items in the proposed budget that will waste additional billions of our tax dollars on the Iraq and Afghanistan Crimes. No, they are not wars. They are criminal acts committed by the most criminal, corrupt, and absolutely incompetent administration, Congress, and corporations in US history. Sincerely, terris.com
Leadership
Rare is the effective leader who was hired directly into the role from afar.
The best leaders often achieve their status organically, by doing. By failing, learning, succeeding, and teaching the shortest path to success.
Good USA Military Service Men and Women: Tainted forever by torture
This is what happened to an innocent man who was born in the wrong place at the wrong time. His killers decided he was innocent on the third of his 5-day Condi Rice-approved sadistic torture-laden "interrogation." But, like our retarded president, they didn't let the brains get in the way of a satisfyingly senseless beating.
The perpetrators of this crime - and so many others - are not men. They have become monsters in our name. Why are our tax dollars recruiting for the Taliban? Historical note: The German people thought they were better off being Nazis, until it was too late. Excerpts from "A Conversation With Alex Gibney," ACLU newsletter, April 2008. They beat him to death, in effect. What was happening was he was being hung; he was being shackled to the ceiling of an isolation cell. That was a method, an essentially tacitly approved method at Bagram, of sleep deprivation. That's how they would do it. So you couldn't really go to sleep because as soon as you nodded off, the handcuffs would gnaw at your wrists. But he hung like that for some time, and then quickly it got out of hand. These soldiers had learned a control method called a perennial strike where they would knee him in the thigh. They kneed him over and over and over again until his legs, as the coroner said, were "pulpified." Ultimately he died from a pulmonary embolism, which is a blood clot which moved into his lungs. He was mercilessly beaten. Here is this young kid, who is hooded, he had asthma, and he was desperately calling out for his mother and his father, to no avail.
Vista and VMWare: Could not reset '__vmware_user__' password. Aborting
Symptom: You can not connect to your server using VMWare console. In the Application Windows event log you seen the message:
Vista and VMWare: Could not reset '__vmware_user__' password. Aborting Run this from the command line: control userpasswords2 Add the group __vmware__ and the user __vmware_user__ as described here: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws32_troubleshooting.pdf I only needed to add the group, user, and assign the user to the group. I did not need to mess with the local security policy. Run 'services' and start all of the services that start with VMWare. Then connect using VMWare console.
Endless war does end: when everyone is broke and broken

Reply 1 “That makes no sense to me, why get louder about the problems when there are less of them?” Because you are being lulled to sleep and need a good whack in the head if you think any future administration is going to get out of this quagmire without Americans in the streets, mad as hell about gas prices - without the taxes. Reply 2 “Ok now that we’ve settled this, can’t we all just agree this Iraqi war thing looks like it is getting better?” Hi Morgan, There are many parents, spouses, and children of service men and women who have waited too long for their loved ones to come home. This war is supported by politicians who are far removed from death, maiming, and any sort of danger. They pretend to be patriots and are afraid of being painted by their rivals as weak. War-profiteering corporations - including those in China, the US, and other countries - are motivated to cheer on endless war no matter what happens to our service people and our social services. Whatever you might say about winning this or that battle, our troops do not have a war to win, and they will never come home until the draft is on, at which time the sh*t will hit the fan just like it did in the 60s. Meanwhile ExxonMobil’s bonus program is paying rather nicely. Love, Terris
MuleCon 2008 Takeaway
I was fortunate to attend MuleCon 2008 during the past two days. Here's what I took away from the conference.
The rich are hurting a little, but are doing fine, thank you
http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/l27573982-wealth-survey/
Wealth held by rich investors with assets over $1 million is set to grow 50 percent in the next five years to $75 trillion, according to a report published on Thursday. The study by management consultancy Oliver Wyman found that the annual growth rate of wealth held by high net worth individuals is expected to slow to nine percent in the next five years as tougher market environment bites. The rich are spending money as fast as they can - and yet they are gaining 9% a year. They can't spend their money fast enough. Yet they get their taxes reduced. This year Larry Ellison had $3 million (which is nothing to him) refunded from his property taxes: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/03/26/MNUAVQUK2.DTL
Gaia preparing to wipe out Republicans by 2040

Of course, everyone's going to die, except for Guatemalans, Nigerians, blacks in the US South .. those who are already accustomed to hot weather, violence, poor health, and having nothing.
It's a bird! It's a crane! It's Osamabama's Pastorrama!
A New York City employee making $48,000 fails to inspect a crane but lies that he had. Later that month, on a Saturday, it collapses, killing seven, injuring more, and creating an apocalyptic 9/11-resembling mess. He's arrested for corruption. Nevermind the fact that the crane had already been inspected, and not even Superman could have predicted the fall.
A group of lending billionaire CEOs, under the cover of Attorneys General (Gonzales and whomever-he-is-now), conspire to thumb their noses at anti-predatory lending laws, not to mention common decency. The economy collapses, affecting everyone globally. The Feds hand the evildoers a bottomless box of blank checks. The Governor of New York, the financial center of the modern era, has not-so-nice things to say about Countrywide's business practices. The FBI, by complete coincidence, "discovers" that, like every other ape on the planet, he pays for sex. A lot. The problem being that it's not his wife. Countrywide catches fire and BofA picks it up for pennies on the dollar. While Grannies lose their pensions, the Governor resigns. It's just another day for the "Over there! It's a terrorist!" Bush administration. Can the Democrats do better? Doubtful.
I agree with Obama's pastor, but that's not the whole story
Last December, someone who attends Obama's church told me that this would happen. It would depend, she said, on the likelihood of Obama winning the nomination.
So folks, this information about Obama's pastor was fed to the media by the Clinton camp. After all, the media doesn't do any research on its own any more. If anyone knows how to divide the country, it's the Clintons and the DNC powers that be. I hope Obama wins the nomination to spite the likes of Pelosi/Reid/Feinstein/Carville. That will be a great day for America. It's high time that entitled white politicians, Dem and Repug - corrupt, reckless, and heartless - get their comeuppance.
