EDWARDS NOT EQUIPPED
March 03, 2004
Maybe he was just pushing
his luck too much when he won the state of Alabama. I admire his spirit,
but John Edwards was never equipped to run in the Presidential race. He
came in a little late running on just the guidelines that a
'family-oriented' man would be an appropriate and needed change for the
White House. Despite his meager rankings and outstanding losses in almost
all but one states, he did have a good standing as an intellectual man. I
think Jon Li imitated him many times and from the debates, he sounded like
an astute person with definitely more common sense than President Bush.
Kerry looked strong from the
beginning and he is the most prominent contender to run against Bush in
the upcoming November elections.

REVIEWS: THE BEST PAGE IN THE
UNIVERSE
Wow..how shall I start this. I have been
"honored" to see such a website. I must say it is sort of sad to
hear some guy complaining and lamenting over things. But, since the
purpose of the website is just that, he does make good use of it. Some of
his articles are uproariously funny.
Click
here to read a funny Matrix: Revolutions review (WARNING: HE RUINS THE
ENDING, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, DON'T CLICK). But in anycase, I
will keep you updated on some articles which are really funny.

THE NEW HUBBLE When
it was originally built, the Hubble telescope was never meant to stay in
space for long. It so happens that people complain when a machine slapped
with a famous guy's name has to be brought back down. I mean, this was to
happen, why couldn't the people have complained when this decision was
being made. Trust me, I love the Hubble and I wish it stayed there, but
what's important is the science. This is among the most heated debates in the astronomical
forum. The debate is not only whether or not to scrap the Hubble project
but should it be scrapped for another more power space telescope, called
Webb (after James Webb). This new
telescope is to be launched about 90 million miles away from Earth and
Sun. It is to be sent in space in about 10 years. I will get more
information on this very soon.

A THOUGHT...
Iraq War Initiative Row
UPDATE: A few of the
top BBC employees including Andrew Gilligan have quit the
BBC due to the erroneous reporting that marred the BBC's
reputation. It all started when the BBC accused the
British Government of "sexing-up" documents and other
allegations, which were proved by Lord Hutton's
investigation to not be true. Please visit the
BBC to read about the
controversy that's now over. Was
the War justified enough? Did the CIA doctor evidence
against Iraq's dictatorship so that President Bush could
make a viable excuse? Is Dr. Kelly's death related to his
coming out with the truth or his "stressed"
life? Was the BBC close enough to finding out the truth on
the supposedly "sexed" up documents used by the
British Government to forge on with the War plans? How
long is this reconstruction of Iraq going to take? It is
undoubtedly true that the US can't handle the
reconstruction efforts on its own? India has rejected to
send an original bid of 17,000 troops, the largest of
international forces. How will that affect how US will
handle international aid? How long is the United States
willing to put soldiers' lives at risk? How much support
will a post-Saddam government need? Guest

STATE
OF THE UNION 2003
The President has spoken and for the first
time in a million years, we have seen the President's asshole, the
Vice President, Dick (maybe asshole wasn't a great connection)
Cheney. The President commented on a lot of issues and his ironic
twist to pretending to be an environmentalist, explaining the
benefits of hydrogen cell cars (and he had no clue what he was
saying although it was correct). He also urged the protection of
the environment, and apparently Alaska is exempt from this
definition of environment because it contains Bush's life-line,
OIL!

CHAVEZ PLEA TO FROOTINESS
1.24.03
Among the throng of people (mostly the webmaster) that writes to
us through the Guest Book, we have found a strange entry just
yesterday. It contains two messages from the President of
Venezuela, or shall we call him Dictator (muahahaha). Anyways, Hugo
Chavez is pleading that Frootiness put in some good words for him
and try to get his reputation improved among his friends.
Now, we don't know what he was
doing surfing on this site, but to the right column are his two
messages posted on the Guest Book forum>
Frootiness investigators are baffled by this
bizarre incident. They are not ruling out the possibility of a
prank message, but both messages were written 12 days apart
suggesting that Mr. Chavez is a regular visitor the site.
UPDATE: Just
yesterday, as we reviewed our guestbook yesterday, we found more bizarre
incidences of solicited messages from people like Saddam Hussein
and Mahatma Gandhi. We assure you that this is not a ploy by the
webmaster of the website (like he has done in the past).

NEW
DELHI METRO
1.13.03
New Delhi recently inaugurated its newest
Metro train. It consists of the latest technology from South
Korea, UK, Germany, etc... The new Delhi Metro was introduced into
service just last month (December 2002), but just on the first day,
curious people flocked to see the train in operation. Since the
tickets was just Rs. 4.00 (or about 2/25 of a dollar), the train
carried more than 6 times the people it was meant to carry on the
first day.
BBC News Reports:
"They [Metro Managers]
have taken out newspaper advertisements urging people to delay
"pleasure trips" for now on the air-conditioned
carriages."
Adding to this problem was the paucity of ticket "tokens":
But so many have been taking home souvenirs
of their day trips that the state-of-the-art metro has now run out
of electronic tokens. (BBC)
And if that wasn't enough:
Drivers have even had to switch off
emergency intercoms in the trains because of passengers buzzing them
to tell them to go faster. (BBC)

So if you like crowds, the please
visit New Delhi.
