Con-meduza Rice

Oh ppl really need to check out this bulls*** ooops! I mean blog by Ann Althouse filling in for for Glenn Reynolds. How do these people think like this??? Is it only plain to me that are just lying to their-damn-selves. According to her Condoleeza Rice is "distinctly attractive", that must be another way of saying "I can't describe how fucking ugly she is!"

"distinctly attractive"???? Who the heck are we talking abut here cuz it sure ain't Condoleeza (even her name is damn ugly!!!).

You must be some sick weirdo, that gets off on satirical humiliation of others.

And, by the way, no matter how profoundly or eloquently you verbalise and rationalise Ms. Rice's (lack of) sexuality - it is a fact: you sacrifice that aspect of your life most often, in order to gain financial/political success. In her case it really wasn't that hard.

racist hotmail

It sure smacks of racism when Hotmail, the world's leading free email provider, follows up on upgrades by its rivals - 250MB storage (for all members) by yahoo and 1 Gig from google (gmail) - with a pathetic 25MB a/c for new users outside of the United States and Canada, and a statement to the effect- "250MB inbox available only in the 50 United States, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Eligible Hotmail users will first receive 25MB at sign-up".

Why then isn't hotmail's service available to only the US, Canada et al. why make the service available to individuals all over the world - black, chinese, indians, arabic - but give us a stripped down version of what is offered only in the US.

Is it any surprise that the people affected mostly by this decision are poorer class, and of a darker hue than say, ummmmmm.... Bill Gates maybe.

And no, this isn't some quack posting accusing Bill Gates of being the anti-christ (that title belongs to George Bush, oooops! did I get some ppl mad...aaaaaaaawwwwwww). This is just a factual statement - upon the initial launch of google's gmail, hotmail promised its users (not Americans only, or Canadians only, but all users) 250MB of email space. Yahoo has upped the ante with its own 250MB of space (thanks in no small part to hotmail's promises) and google still reigns, but what did hotmail do???? They decided that only North Americans need to use their email service, the rest of us are just lucky they're doing us a favour!

And, BTW, the service isn't really free (for all the dumb zealots out there, let me just pre-empt you). They advertise to us, and their advertising commands top dollar. And they sell our personal information to marketers and market researchers.

why

why does this blog exist?

I am simply here to rant - my tirades are aimed at Microsoft (nothing new eh?) and any individual/entity that continues to use racially discriminatory practices in their dealings - especially when they still expect to (and do) make money off the backs of those against whom they discriminate.

And be careful conservative dunces, cuz I am gonna take you on if you bring your fascism and ignorance (and how we should be thankful for...insert 'blessings of my style of democracy' here) .
