We’re moving … I think

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

I’m being told that the solution to the intermittent and recurring problems with Peoria Pundit might be solved by moving the site to a server that doesn’t rely on an “eaccellerator” program in use on the one now being used. So, I’ve asked the good folks at A Small Orange to make that happen.
I have […]

Blog update

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

I’m writing today’s post not even sure the post will appear.

I am having recurring problems with Peoria Pundit loading in Firefox. The solution offered by the WordPress people and the A SmallOrange people doesn’t seem to be working. I have submitted my upteenth ticket on this issue and I am sure the problem will go […]

Welcome to Hell, Saddam, Pull Up A Chair

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

Goodbye Saddam, we won’t miss you!
Another mass murderer has been sent to Hell, compliments of a slow and democratic process. Make no mistake - Saddam deserved the gruesome end he received at the bottom of a hangman’s rope. Plenty of video and still pictures show the former dictator swinging from a […]

Haitian ‘Family’ Questions OSF

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

The Journal Star published a forum article today written by Maxime Petion’s host family in the Peoria area.
Maxime is a young Haitian man who was operated at OSF in 2002. I examined him here in Haiti in October. He has a serious cardiac condition that requires more workup and possibly more surgery for him […]

A victory for Net Neutrality

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

The Daily Kos reports that the AT&T merger with Bell South merger, thanks to concessions from AT&T, has lead to some important victories for the concept of Net Neutrality, nameless that the telco agrees that: “[T]Hesse networks are not AT&T’s private property but are a regulated public communications vehicle that AT&T manages for profit.”
The agreement […]

Jumping the gun on ‘Tomorrow Begins Today’

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

I think the slogan for the John Edwards for president campaign — “Tomorrow Begins Today” — is appropriate, considering that the campaign’s Website accidentally broke the story a day earlier than they had planned.
Heh.
Anyway, here’s the senator answering bloggers’ questions in Iowa:

I wonder why NBC didn’t run this canned obit …

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

I considered not running this video because it would be in bad taste to run it so soon after President Ford’s death. But then I realized this sucker was in bad taste 10 years ago when it first ran.

Union starts bid to ‘Save the Journal Star’

Friday, December 29th, 2006

I’ve received the following tip:
A little bird told me the Newspaper Guild at the Journal Star will run a full-page ad on New Year’s Day. It will kick off an aggressive save-the newspaper campaign that will feature a new web site, www.savethejournalstar.com. People — anyone and everyone — will be encouraged to log on and […]

CNN still sucking up to Saddam? Apparently so …

Friday, December 29th, 2006

I’m not the only one who found CNN’s graphical treatment of the news of Saddam’s death to be more than a little off-putting. Michelle Malkin had this observation:
Lots of readers are peeved by CNN’s memorial tribute to Saddam. Reader Roger writes, “Did Gerald Ford get this much respect on CNN’s home page?”
Answer: Yes. Almost exactly […]
