Former Navy Secretary and current 9/11 Commission member John Lehmann is rumored to be the Bush Administration’s top choice to replace George ‘Slam Dunk’ Tenet. He could get the nod as early as Thursday. Now some might consider this to be a conflict of interest since the Commission has yet to release it’s final analysis. I ge that buying the jury feel.

In other 9/11 Commission News:

Dick Cheney you’re full of shit! The 9/111 Commission has criticized the VP for continuing to make the Saddam/9-11 connection:

After examining available transcripts of [Vice President Dick Cheney’s] public remarks, the 9/11 commission believes it has access to the same information the vice president has seen regarding contacts between al Qaeda and Iraq prior to the 9/11 attacks,”

This was in response to the VP’s clam that he ‘probably’ had info that the 9/11 Commission was not privy to, including information connecting Saddam and Osama.

Current Events, and other thoughts on the day.

After an interesting holiday weekend there are several subjects to mention, none really related.

1. Kerry has selected John Edwards as his running mate setting up a battle royal between vp. Dick Cheney. The Diabolical, war-mongering, corporate whore Vs. The Southern Heart-Throb. I for one would like to see Dick in a debate where he dosen’t have to revert to using the time tested school yard comeback; ‘Go Fuck Yourself!’

2. Apple has previewed thier new OS: OS X 10.4 Tiger. There are some interesting new features such as dashboard, and the improvements in iChat AV. From what I’ve read about the server version everything looks pretty amazing. Built-in blogging capabilities, IM chat server, and mobile home directories. All that shit should make the most loyal windows admin have second thoughts.

3. TabletPcs are useless. Think how dirty you’re cell phone screen gets. Now imagine your phone being the size of a book and you write on it. TabletPC screens are bound to become filthy during just normal use. Forget about finger prints, think palm prints.

Consider all of these topics just random thoughts.

Veiw Presidental Campaign ads from years gone by.

The American Museum of the Moving Image has a cool site with all of the Presidential television ads (I think in history). The ads begin with the 1952 Presidential campaign and continue through to today. The site is constantly being updated as the new ads come out this year. The best part about the site is the ads are viewable in their original content. For example some of the ads were changed after opposing campaigns complained. An internet ad earlier this year put out by the Bush campaign showed an imaged of Howard Dean & Al Gore with images of Hitler. Check out the original ads here.
