  2. After last year’s debacle of leaked video iPod touchscreen photos, which may or may not have been partially Apple’s doing, I now associate with the Apple and iPod “brands” characteristics that don’t incline me to buy either, namely laziness, misinformation, and arrogance. Oh, and exploding batteries.

    OK gang- I loved the Ping Pong thing and the Water Bubble Ball thing. The challenge for you people today is this: Using Thomas http://thomas.loc.gov find for me the statement or vote by John Edwards in support of National Missile Defense. Since you people fawn all over him. Fred (AKA Mr. Moneybags) out there has graciously announced that he will pay a dollar for such an answer. Now we kind of need it because the basketball and Nuclear reactor given to the North Koreans has made them launch missles. Just like we saw in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h3GPc_yMCE It because of the gracious financial sponsorship of Fred that I keep posting that link ad naseum.

  10. who gives a crap what Kerry voted for or even thinks.. he’s fake resistance to the Bush Junta… as he is also a life time member of the Skull and Bones Sick Society. Missile Defense = Huge Pork.. a.k.a Corporate Welfare. The only Path to World Peace is economic justice, global co-operation, and Governmental/Corporate accountibility. oh btw, 9/11 was an inside job.. and now the Crazed Animal.. known as the so appropriately called Neo-Con cabal is wounded getting caught up in it’s mistakes, nasty things are about to go down. Then they can tell us how much we ‘need’ them to protect us… what a freakin’ racket.. just like Smedley Butler warned us back in the 1930’s. http://www.fas.org/man/smedley.htm It’s no longer left vs. right..it’s now the State vs. you and me.

  11. oops,… you mentioned Edwards, not Kerry.. my bad. Edwards is not a Bonesman, but my other points still stand.

  12. In general, iPods = lame. The video one actually looks interesting to me. If they make it affordable and support a decent number of playback formats, it might be worth a purchase. But it still has no recording, no radio, etc. So it will be a push.

    Waterball looks amazing. Where can I try it?

    Glad to see such an upbeat rb entry! Keep up the good work!

    Joanne - when can we go sonic body ponging? (Yes, I realize how that sounds - but I really want to wear that cool little hat!)

  14. Can’t help it… just found an awesome snippet of a brand new documentary called “Hijacking Castastrophe” found at google video.. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2601232339745819805
    at 4:20 into it watch Cheney sitting at Joanne’s desk… oh the injustice of it all.

  17. well … couldn’t find time to get off a response to the North Korean bit yesterday … C’mon Joanne … how far do you think Rocketboom would get under our little Poison Panda, Mr. Kim Whatever-Il? Answer: you’d be wearing the party uniform and goosestepping with the other windup props over there … So WHY..equate NK going nuclear with the US going nuclear? We were the only ones with the Bomb til 1949 … you China or Russia …. or NK would have held off and helped up their enemies if they had a monopoloy on the bomb … and as for being the only ones to USE it … hate to interject facts but we did it to save an estimated 1 million lives which is what a conventional assault on Japan would have meant … we didn’t randomly shoot missles over neighboring countries and tell them we might just launch one cause we’re pissed.

    Why on earth would you allow your bully pulpit be used to denigrate the most benevolent government on earth … and prop up a little crazy guy who won’t let you breath …

    I mean is there NO LOGIC out there in liberal land?

    I’m fine hearing you present your views … now you’ve hear d mine. Lets see if RB can be fair and balanced!?

    Still love you all…

  19. I’ve read that Japan was ready to surrender by May of ‘45 check this well done chronology of events concerning the Bomb and Japan. http://www.nuclearfiles.org/menu/key-issues/nuclear-weapons/history/pre-cold-war/hiroshima-nagasaki/decision-drop-bomb-chronology.htm Truman was a rascist. The US is not the most generous nation on earth, btw, Scandinavian countries are more generous than we are. Bill you live in a dream world, please wake up for the children’s sake.

    Nobody licks their pen or actually writes HoMe anymore.

  21. ibookfast …. sorry but you’re wrong … the US provides more foreign aid than any other nation on earth by several multiples …

    Want to talk rascism? Tell me how diverse Sweden’s population is compared to ours? Does Sweden have a black female Sec. of State or ANY ranking politician who is black and female?

    Want to talk about saving the kids … your Chinese ran over teens with their tanks in Tienemen Square…

    Or how about Little Kim the Dictator who has sex with 13 year old girls and can’t wait to sling a nuke somewhere.

    Wanna talk about saving kids. How about jihadists who blow them to pieces with car bombs and train other kids to do the same when they’re big enough to strap a bomb best on.

    Wanto talk about kids? The US is pumping billions into Africa to stem aids while most of the rest of the world TALKS about aids.

    Lets deal in reality here … its not the US that endangers kids its nut case despots all over the world we’re trying to stop.

    And you can talk about the possiblitiy of Japan being about surrender in 1945 … but I can cite you the FACT that the Truman administration specifically warned them that we had a “super bomb” and that they should surrender so we didn’t have to use it. EVEN AFTER … we dropped the first on Hiroshima … they wouldn’t surrender…forcing the dropping on Nagasaki. The Japanese regime at the time had no problems with surprise attacks on Sunday morning, no problems with running medical experiments on Chinese civilians (or keeping hundreds of Chinese and Korean women in “comfort houses” … I’m sure you can imagine the kind of comfort they were forced to offer to up to 50 Japanese soldiers a day).

    Wake up to history … the US is the defender of personal liberty around the globe and has been since World War I.

    Check Churchill’s commentaries on how vital America’s aid was to Britain during WWI and WWII. Do you think Britain would have remained unbroken with no American army to push back the Nazis?

    Who brought the Soviets to the ir knees and freeded millions from totalitarian rule. Ask Gorbachev … he’ll tell you it was Ronald Reagan and the US.

    Why not direct your displeasure to the real malefactors in the world? Don’t the facts mean anything to you at all?

  22. I love facts as much as you do…. Aids so perfect for the elite… predominately killing people of Color, homosexuals and junkies.. and then they can profit on the supposed cure..perfect marriage of eugenics and capitalism.
    Why bring China into this? Bad choice as we are in bed with them, as they and Japan bankroll our deficit spending, I thought we cared about things like civil rights and trade, guess not, see below. The US government may be generous with our money.. but as a society we aren’t as much as the Scandinavians, fact. Israel and Egypt get the lion’s share of our tax supported handouts.. in a major oil producing region. When/where did Gorby say that? The Soviet Union was a paper tiger, it imploded and we loved it while it lasted.. as you may know all Empires need enemies to justify themselves to its people.
    Your view of history is very skewed..you must believe the MSM, and it’s corporate slant. The US gov. cares not how its friends treats its own people, rather how it treats our Corporations, do the research. Thomas Paine remarked many moons ago, words to the effect that our country had been taken over by the elite twenty years after its inception. Do you support GWB? He’s about as truley conservative as much as I am, not much. He’s ballooned the government and its deficits.. sounds more fascist than conservative… Goldwater is spinning in his grave at the abuse of the term.

  23. When you winked, to my surprise, my heart when all aflutter. I’ve got a crush?!

    Thanks Joanne.

    btw - You seem even more comfortable with hosting RB than the first week. Your speech is more casual. I feel like you’re a fun friend (the cute kind that you can have a crush on) rather than a “news salesmen”. Bless you, you’ve blessed us.

  24. ibookfast, unfortunately… by not having a skewed view of history, you are not patriotic…

    Bill, Please list of another book of facts. Hopefully somewhere in there, you will eventually get around to the actual point.

    America is not the most generous nation per capita. Other nations give more in relation to the amount of people in the country. This is a fact, look it up and come down off your horse so high.

  25. PR guys always need/want the last word … LOL ..so …

    Leron, I appreciate your friendly style! I agree Gorby was a key to the whole thing … I heard him say on TV … and also Kissinger … say … Ronald Reagan was the reason USSR came to the table. Fortunately Gorby was there to steer them in and be a key player in reaching an accord.

    Here’s my question …. WHY … does the so-called intelligentsia of the world enjoy throwing rocks at the US?

    WHO spilled blood and treasure to set the world free in the forties … and held back communism in the 50, 60s, and 70s. WHY …can’t you find someone like Hugo Freaking Chavez to find fault with?

    George Bush is a decent man by anyone’s standards. And we’re fighting a hard core war to stem the tide of radical jihadi killers who attacked us and killed thousands before one american boot set foot in Iraq.

    Think people. Don’t just follow the fasionable “bash bush” line.

    Back to RB and the body bags… wow ..someone’s got a bad sense of furniture fashion!

    Love you all.

    Joanne… keep up that winking … we all think its to us individually.LOL

    See ya.

    Bill
