Another Clinton Liar? SHOCKING!?!?!

ABC News: Clinton: I 'Misspoke' on Bosnia Recollection

So, is anyone surprised that Hillary lied about her Bosnia trip? I mean, honestly surprised? Why would you be? What kind of person stays with Bill? The kind that is just as good at his games as he is. She's evil, this is just proof. I pray for an Obama v. McCain race -- in which case I won't know WHO to vote for.

Ani-war protesters attack Catholic parishioners in Chicago

Ani-war protesters attack Catholic parishioners in Chicago

...the "logic" of these "protesters" is astounding. I mean, read the article, watch the videos, and tell me if these people aren't just absolutely insane. I believe I commented a few days ago about how the ADL, SPLC and CAIR were ratcheting-up their attack on Catholicism, and I would offer this incident as proof that the problem extends well beyond the organized hat-mongers to smaller 'cells' of anti-Catholic terrorists. Its no surprise this took place on Easter -- these hoodlums knew blind well what they were doing and how offensive it is. This is a hate-crime.

odf-converter-integrator - OpenOffice.org Ninja

In grand fashion, MS Office 2007 uses completely different file formats from those of previous editions. The result is that the stock OpenOffice suite that ships with most distros isn't able to open documents created in Office 2007. The preferred fix, at this point (until OO.org 3.0 comes out) is to use odf-converter-integrator. Check out the link above.

Unix Toolbox

Unix Toolbox

If you're a *NIX novice, chances are you find the CLI (command-line interface, or "shell") a bit daunting. A thousand volumes and more have been written attempting to demystify the command-line, virtually all of which miss the mark. One simple solution is to provide people a list of commands with a very brief outline of what they do, and refer them to `man` for further reading. That's what the Unix Toolbox cheat sheet does. Of course, if you don't need it, don't waste your time with it, but if you're new to *NIX (Linux, BSD, UNIX, etc.), then it doesn't hurt to give it a quick look to see if it fits your needs.

Open Source Mac - Free, Open-Source software for OS X

Open Source Mac - Free, Open-Source software for OS X

This site is THE source for F/L/OSS software for OS X. Most of the apps here are ones I had already used, but I know it took me a while to find them, so it might be of interest to someone else if they didn't have to do the digging...even if you're a long-time Mac geek, you might find something new.

...for those of us who are Mac-o-philes, but run Linux out of necessity, there's still hope!
