Mystery Guest #2

This one is probably a bit easier to explain compared to the last one.

Cinomed is the word demonic spelt backwards, while I am the most prevalent user of this pseudonym, there are a few others.
This guy probably found me after meeting someone with the same name in some Online game, maybe even playing Poker.
I own [...]

Deferred Adjudication, nasty little second class Non-Conviction.

Well I have some experience here, and in doing some research I am heartened that some people are doing something about it.
Need to research this group some more, but looks like I need to help support them!
Texans for the Reform of Deferred Adjudications
Deferred Adjudication is basically supposed to be a “Second Chance”, usually a plea [...]

UAE port deal, Anti-Arab hostility? or Valid paranoia?

Man oh man, talk about a huge split. I ain’t even sure where I stand, but I am going to document this here for my own benefit.
So we got the UAE, buying a company from England that was running 24 of our port terminals.
The UAE has several good points.
US Air Force Base
Most frequent port our [...]

Money for Nothin' and your Chips for free!

As I recently admitted I have finally caught the “Online Poker” bug, and as long as you practice a little restraint there is nothing wrong with playing poker online.
Today the Escapist Magazine looks at the world of Poker, how much it has changed, why, and what it is today.
They credit a major part of the [...]

Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict

 received an email touting a book about the Israeli / Palestinian conflict, and requesting a mention from a “Proud Friend of Israel”.
I honestly have not at this time read the book, and I have just barely skimmed the site linked here.
First blush, it seems to take a “No Holds Barred” look at this conflict and [...]

Iraqi Mayor writes a letter about the US "Occupation".

Hat tip Evil Conservative.
I have long said that we should be grateful for somethings about the War on Terror.
In my lifetime I have never been able to explain exactly why the enemy is evil, not just different, mislead, or wrong, but evil.
Well today from Tony Snow via Evil Conservative we get this letter, written by [...]

Serious post on Cheney shooting Accident.

I know I made fun of it yesterday; and honestly there is a lot of humor to be found there for those of us with bad taste.
(A lot of it is really funny too)
I just listened to the audio of Cheney telling Brit the exact scenario and events from his own eyes.

Now I have never [...]

Wednesday Gamer update.

GTA San Adreas, sweet game still, I enjoy an hour or so a night.
City of Villains, they added a new zone that Hero’s and Villains can go and hang out, non-PVP. They have missions that require at least one Villain and one Hero to complete, they even have power-ups you can buy that you can [...]

Cheney failed me again.

I admit, he probably said the right thing, tried smoothing some feathers and what not, but dammit I wanted to see him snarl and tell the Media to pissoff!
He ain’t running in 2008, second to Karl Rove he is one of the most hated of Bush’s people by the “left”, why not take advantage of [...]

Unionfacts.com - I have long held the opinion that Unions were outdated and quite unnecessary

Today Redstate.org’s Pat Cleary alerts us that Unionfacts.org has launched.
Unionfacts.com staged a protest outside of the AFL-CIO offices and took out full page ads in some large papers featuring an inflatable dinosaur outside of the same offices.
What has always chapped my hide about Unions, members rarely see a problem because all they care about are [...]
