MoveOn.org – General Petraeus/Betray Us

The New York Times ran an ad by MoveOn.org in their paper some ten days ago. Today, President Bush commented on the ad
The final question asked of the President at a pressconference this morning was in reference to the ad. The President responded. The following is a transcription of that question and the response, taken from http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/09/20070920-2.html:

Q What is your reaction to the MoveOn.org ad that mocked General Petraeus as General “Betrayus,” and said that he cooked the books on Iraq? And secondly, would you like to see Democrats, including presidential candidates, repudiate that ad?

THE PRESIDENT: I thought the ad was disgusting. I felt like the ad was an attack not only on General Petraeus, but on the U.S. military. And I was disappointed that not more leaders in the Democrat Party spoke out strongly against that kind of ad. And that leads me to come to this conclusion: that most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left-wing group like MoveOn.org — or more afraid of irritating them than they are of irritating the United States military. That was a sorry deal. It’s one thing to attack me; it’s another thing to attack somebody like General Petraeus.

In response to this morning’s statement, Keith Olbermann will be delivering a special comment on tonight’s edition of Countdown.
I can’t wait to see it.

worried about dad

So, my dad’s going in for a heart cath next week. I know that I really don’t need to worry a whole lot, because it is a simple procedure, and things will most likely go without a hitch, but I just can’t help but be a bit afraid.
I’m gonna be heading over to the office tomorrow, so that I can help him out with the notebook he just purchased for work. He was given the okay to purchase a notebook so that he will be able to perform work from home for he won’t be able to return to the office for about two weeks, and even then he might not be able to traverse the stairs up to his office.
I dunno. I’m just worried.

TransUnion to Offer Credit Freezes Nationwide


TransUnion to Offer Credit Freezes Nationwide
An anonymous reader writes “In a little-noticed press release issued Tuesday, credit reporting bureau TransUnion said it would begin offering credit freezes to all Americans, a change the belies the credit industry’s oft-uttered claim that doing so would be too expensive and burdensome. The program takes effect Oct. 15, 2007, will cost $10 each to place and to remove, and request and must be filed by certified mail. As The Washington Post reports, the move comes as some 39 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws entitling their residents to credit freeze rights. The new right may have little benefit unless the other two major credit reporting bureaus follow suit, and both companies are staying mum about any plans to do so. In May, Slashdot examined a related story on the credit bureaus’ traditional resistance to freeze laws.”

Americans Giving Up Social Life for the Web


Americans Giving Up Social Life for the Web
Stony Stevenson writes “A survey into how the Web affects American adults has found that surfing the net has become an obsession for many, with the majority of U.S. adults feeling they cannot go for a week without going online and one in three giving up friends and sex for the Web. The survey asked 1,011 American adults how long they would feel OK without going on the Web and found that 15 percent said just a day or less, 21 percent said a couple of days and another 19 percent said a few days. It also found that 20 percent said they spend less time having sex because they are online.”
