Terps Draw Cal Berkeley in NCAA s

Wow, the Commie machine is coming after me, eh wot?  Last September a ranked CAL team came strutting into Maryland, and it took one of my patented pep talks to wake the Terps up enough to crush'em.  Now the NCAA basketball selection committee has matched 7th seed Cal against 10 seed MD. Coincidence?  I think not.  The commies hate my guts.  Cal may be a great 3 point shooting team, but who would know?  They play in some west coast conference that nobody watches.  The prollem is of course, they're commies, and commies cheat like hell. We'll do a novena. ALSO: Women's Basketball - Team RPIs (2008-2009)       View Power Ratings       View Real Time RPIsvip Rank School W-L RPI SOS Rank SOS Conf. Conf.

Today's Plan Ahead

Dept. of Agriculture's Mission?

We Surrender, Por Favor

USDA

I've seen these pictures, sans text, all over the place, and always assumed they were for use in some emerging third world country, like Obama's home town in Kenya.  Nuh-uh.  These posters were sent to me from Keith Olbermann's alma mater, Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, not to be confused with the other one.*  They were printed, and provided by The United States Department of Agriculture. I am not making any of this up.  What does that say to you? Keith Olbermann was probably not introduced to indoor plumbing and TP until matriculation. Upstate New York is overrun with illegal aliens? All of the above,  and the USDA (i.e. Federal Gummnint)  has surrendered to them. *  After Coulter outed Olbermann, he went predictably nuts, and countered by saying he'd "paid much less for the same education as Coulter by attending the Ag School." Well Hell Keith, you coulda spent even less by attending Jasper Community College. But remember, this is about the poop posters.

Everyone Out Of The Pool!

Today's WTF?

Taking Chance

Take a Chance on This

You won't regret it

I have to tell you about this.  A few days ago when I turned on the telly it opened on some HBO channel from the night before.  Even though  it was 30 minutes  into "Taking Chance," starring Kevin Bacon, I was hooked.  Five minutes later I looked up the next full airing, and scheduled it to record.  Still,  I continued to watch.  MoSup was out doing something, and came home around noon.  Now understand this about MoSup.  She doesn't believe in frittering away prime daylight hours drinking whiskey or watching movies.  Nevertheless, I insisted she sit down and watch the now recorded repeat.  I promised her that she'd have her heart in her throat the entire time, as had I.  Neither of us spoke a word for 90 minutes.  I can make the same promise to you about this true story. I know many of you've seen this, and I'm confident you'll concur. My best friend has a son serving with the Marines in Iraq, and I wonder whether this is something I should recommend to him.  I don't know, although maybe I just did. I see it as a portrait of the best of America. One final thing.  I've always liked Kevin Bacon, but the role I've always identified  him with was Chip Diller Kevin Bacon, in Animal House. No more.  From now on it's Lt. Col. Michael Strobl. He's that good in this film. ;

Pwn2Own hacker contest targets browsers, smart phones

Apple Safari is 'easy pickings'

Oh My ... “ This year’s contest will pit hackers against browsers and smart phones with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome among the high-profile targets.  It will also include attacks against fully patched BlackBerry, Android, iPhone, Symbian and Windows Mobile phones in their default configurations. Here are Miller’s predictions:     * Safari: hacked by 4 different people.  Easy pickin’s as usual.     * Android: hacked by 1 person.  Not too tough but no one owns one.     * IE8, Firefox: Survive unscathed.  The bugs to exploit equation is too hard for $5k.     * iPhone, Symbian: Survive due to non-executable heap.     * Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Chrome: I don’t know enough to say anything intelligent.  That said, they’re probably hard/obscure and so survive. Last year, Miller exploited a Safari flaw to hijack a fully patched MacBook Pro machine.  He is also known for launching successful attacks against Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android platform.
