I'm hooked. Firefox (browser) and Thunderbird (email client) are the berries. Go to http://getfirefox.com for the details. As I discover neat extensions and plug-ins, and more reasons to use them, I'll update this page.

The following was related by Eric Brewster about his dad, the professor Dr. Rudolph Brewster, who flew in the Army Air Corps in WW2. It's a great story. Not a "sea story" per se but a great story about what was clearly The Greatest Generation. My dad was one of those as well and I preserve this story in the memory of all of those people.

This will be a collection of stuff I find on both sides of the aisle and possibly worthy of discussion. You choose. Be kind.

All about Sen. John Kerry's arguably treasonous activities during and after Vietnam.

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good
Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad

Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good
Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - bad

JOB APPLICATION

NAME: John Kerry

RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including Washington, DC, worth multimillions.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Law Enforcement. I voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA and defense bill in my career as a US Senator. I ordered Boston to remove a fire hydrant which I considered unsightly, in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my neighbors in the event of fire. MILITARY: I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I then returned to the US, joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby killers. I threw my medals, ribbons, or something away in protest. Or did I? My book; Vietnam Veterans Against the War: The New Soldier shows how I truly feel about the military. I deplore the military!
