Birthday wishes are in order 24 Jan 2008 @ 12:30
Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Americana, Politics , add a commentI had almost forgot about this birthday, but luckily the folks over at the American Thinker were gracious enough to post this reminder so that all of us will remember to properly celebrate this momentous occasion.
On Sunday, January 27, 2008, our nation celebrates an important political anniversary. Ten years ago Hillary Clinton (then the First Lady) went on television with Matt Lauer and said:
“This is the great story here for anybody willing to find and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president.”
Talk about a birthday that DESERVES the National Holiday designation!!!! Please contact your local, state, and federal congresscritter(s) and make your voice heard.
What is the VRWC? It is the heart, soul and minds of millions of muzzled Americans speaking freely after the muzzle has been removed. It is the communion of these millions across lines of religion, race, gender and age who are bound by a common notion of what the American dream really means. The VRWC, unlike the monolith of Leftism, does not march in lockstep but rather as free souls brought together by the values of truth and decency. Happy tenth birthday, fellow members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!
Well said. Very well said.
{clap clap clap}
{standing ovation}

Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Housekeeping , add a commentJust informed by the Technical Staff that the software used by the base Early Warning Systems has completed the latest minor upgrade. There shouldn’t be any issues noticed on this end, or so they tell me.
Stand by for more.

This article from Fox News is enough to get my blood boiling.
But then again, considering it’s Sandy "Queen of the Pinkos" Newsome’s Franquacko then this all makes more sense. In a city where ANYTHING is valued higher than a human, I guess I should have expected this sort of display.
Oh my aching back………..
Beauracracy run amoke 3 Jan 2008 @ 14:01
Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Technobabble , add a commentI’m sure most of you are aware of the recent bevy of lawsuits that the RIAA has filed against us common folk in the hopes of killing the MP3 download industry. Well, now it seems that these folks are coming after us again for ripping CDs to our hard drives.
See this article from PCMag contributing editor John C. Dvorak.
Suing customers for ripping CDs is an attack against fair use that, if successful, would reverse legal precedents and give some momentum to the slow effort to eliminate all consumer recording devices. This would include VCRs, CD burners, DVD burners, DVRs, and even copying machines.
And there goes everything that those in the tech industry as near and dear……
Not too mention that if we allow this sort of industrialized police action to continue unabated (like the RIAA is hoping for), then the next thing they’ll start coming after is the Bill of Rights. The "connect the dots" path is patently clear, at least it is here on the base. Don’t believe us, then sit there and do nothing but when Big Brother comes knocking at your door…don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Instead of finding some way to benefit from easy copying, these two associations and the companies they represent honestly believe that clogging the American legal system with John Doe nuisance lawsuits will somehow put an end to piracy—
Nope, all it does is clog our already stretched to the limit court system with patently frivolous lawsuits. Where is the reform that the Congresscritters said was coming????
Obviously the folks at RIAA and MPAA need a few more lessons in history. For as long as there has been a need for something that a large population of people want, there has always been the subculture of piracy. Lawsuits AIN’T gonna change that, in fact it’s probably going to make the piracy market flourish even further. it’ll just go a little bit further underground.
These folks clearly are mad with power and greed and obviously need more to satiate their thirst. Pity they are too near-sighted to see their own misfortune.
Important Announcement 2 Jan 2008 @ 00:01
Posted by Supreme General Rayegun in : Americana , add a commentThank you for standing by for this important message.
As Base Commander I would like the extend a hearty Happy New Year to all of you (yes, all three people out there in the Blogosphere who even know this place exists) from all of us here at the base.
As your commander, this year looks like I’ll be able to issue more orders and be a little bit more informative this year. Hopefully, with this being an election year there will be PLENTY of orders or decrees to proclaim or issue.
Have fun out there people! That’s an order!!!!!
