London got the Olympics in 2012!
AND THEN THEY GOT BOMBED. Shitty! I did watch some of the repsonse and reaction on BBC America this morning and I have to say that the U.K. police and emergency services are some of the best I have knowledge of. They turned what could have been mass hysteria and panic into a controlled and isolated situation within minutes. I have no official opinion on the bombings themselves, since it's not entirely clear who is even repsonsible at this point, other than to say that I feel empathy and sorrow for all of the families who lost mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters. I will, however, go off about CNN's nearly retarded coverage of the event. CNN loves to parade out the experts whenever something is happening. We listen to their hastily shouted quips without really paying any attention to it. Perhaps that is because we know that if you were ever to actually listen, as I did today, you, like me, would immediately seek some way to gouge out your eyes and pierce your eardrums. I was fortunate enough to find no reasonably painless way to deaden my senses. I changed the channel and my rage levelled off. Now I am attempting to bring my rage level down to a nice, everyday, "searing contempt" level so that I don't get pushed over the edge and have an aneurism when a customer says something stupid at work.
Let me just establish a couple of facts that we are all aware of.
A team of suicide hijackers took over a plane bound for L.A. and flew it into the Pentagon in our nation's capital in September of 2001.
The train system in Madrid was bombed in March of 2004.
Al-Queda planned and executed both of these attacks.
Are we all in agreement? Good.
Here are some things we don't yet know.
Who is repsonsible for the attacks in London this morning.
Whether any of the explosions in London were suicide attacks.
What kind of explosives were used and what the level of sophistication was present in the explosive devices.
Again, do we agree? Good.
On CNN this morning an "expert" commentator whose name, unfortunately, I did not catch stated that these attacks are a "change of tactic for Islamic militants." He stated that "Suicide attacks have never before been used on a Western Capital." Also after going on and on about how sophisticated the Al-Queda network has had to become to avoid detection and create these cunning explosive devices he also described the perpatrators as "Muslims" (not Islamic Extremeists or Muslim terrorists but, according to this fermented douche bag, ALL MUSLIMS!?) who are "primitive people" who use "crude bombs" to kill women and children. I am going to point these things out because there are some of you who can't put 2 and 2 together on your own. The idea that it is a change of tactics is B.S. since they did the same thing in Madrid last year (Madrid is the capital of Spain, btw). Suicide attacks have been used on a Western capital before, on September 11th, 2001. A person cannot be primitive and sophisticated at the same time. How can a cude device be cunning at the same time? Usually crude + cunning = elegance. Elegance is not the product of primitive people. It is the product of sophisticated networks. Which is it? We don't know, for sure, that the attack was perpatrated by Islamic militants in the first place. As I continued to watch I saw wave after wave of semi-retarded hypereducated idiot savant commentators build a whip cream pie of speculation flavored with fact extract and set it afloat on a see of stereotypes and innane overanalyzed gibberish. I heard so many things on CNN that made me want to pierce my eardrums that I had to watch the Disney Channel just to reset my brain. At one point I actually heard a commentatorsay that there are many who believe that the attacks in London were a retaliation by countries who lost the bid for the 2012 Olympics. Who believes that? Was this guy at a UFO convention? Where do you have to go to find MANY people who believe that, with less than 36 hours since the IOC's announcement that London would get the games to prepare and execute, someone who lost the bid for the Olympics commited this act? Where? Tell me!!!!!!!!!! CNN, I HATE YOU!
This is the second time I am typing all this because when I hit spell check IE6 blocked the spell checker window and when I clicked "Temporarily allow popups" IE6 refreshed the page and all I had typed had dissappeared. I am so mad I am shaking. I will no doubt forget details from the original post and when I remember them later I will come back and add them in.

A butterfly flapped it wings in China which caused a puff of wind that someone in South Africa inhaled and made them break wind which floated across the ocean to a little town in Kansas where some people were watching the movie "A Mighty Wind" and gasped at it's silliness. Their sudden intake of air cause a small vacuum which caused a lady in New Jersey to stumble while vacuuming and fall on her bottom. The tiny shockwave, that traveled through the earth, hit London at the precise time that a dog was vacuuming up scraps of food.
And that's how there were explosions. I said that with such conviction, I demand to be called an expert, Dammit!
it was wierd actually,sky news said that al-queda were accepting responsibiltiy for the attacks and then a few hours later the chief of police was saying that no one has yet come forward to say it was them..............i've not got cnn anymore......but if it is true that they have said all that then they need to be taken off air!!...and the chief of police also said that they would not know what type of bombs were used or if it was suicide bombers until at least the end of the week
and to say its the olympic bids failing cities retalliation is just pathetic
i dont know if you saw it on the nesws when tony blair was saying that terrorists will not win,etc,etc...but i thought it was good that the world leaders(bush,chirac,etc) were stood right behind him while saying it...it certainly made me feel better,that they were all there....a coincidence because of the g8 summit?...probably not
this is what they are saying now :
a group who are calling themselves the(get this)....
Secret Organisation Group Of Al-Quaeda Of Jihad Organisation In europe
now there's a catchy name for a rock band(!)

People who are at work and can't just install Mozilla. Oh, and I dunno if you have been missing the news but it's been shown now that Mozilla has more security holes than IE but they aren't being exploited because over 99.7 percent of people use IE. Not only that but Mozilla has some real issues with doing shit like taking a crap and making you lose all your favorites and settings. Way to try and sound l337 though
Here's something for all you who suckle at the Firefox teat, as I once did.
The public warning of the security vulnerabilities is evidence that the Mozilla Foundation's products give a false sense of security, says Thor Larholm, a senior security researcher with PivX Solutions in Newport Beach, California.
"The only reason Mozilla and Firefox have a good track record in security with a low number of security vulnerabilities is simply because they don't tell anyone about them," Larholm says via e-mail.
"The Mozilla Foundation has fixed hundreds if not thousands of security vulnerabilities over the last few years without notifying the world and without providing security patches, instead they have simply just told their users to upgrade," he says. "We have to remember that all software has security vulnerabilities, the only difference is in how we anticipate them and inform the world about their existence."
Mozilla "seems" more secure for the same reason Apples seem more secure. Hackers go and try and exploit the biggest products with the biggest market share. Since IE ships with windows, and thus it is likely more casual users that are vunerable to exploits will use IE...IE has the big target on it's back.

Here's some more news on the same subject.
"taking a crap and making you lose all your favorites and settings."
Oh! That's what happened. I thought it was something I said. To the browser.
