I wanted to post this on several Tech sites that have entries in their forums on killing the Alureon.H virus (and other rootkit viruses), but if you haven't been registered for several days, or you're not an expert user, they don't want to hear from you. So I thought I'd post it here, where at least I can come back if I ever need to know how to do this again. I got this nasty bug on my computer

As I chuckle on the whole idea of "tea parties", I have to wonder how many of these conservatives think "tea" has to do with the letter "t" as in "Taxes". Then I think that maybe they're a little more historically aware of the Boston Tea Party, where angry protesters dressed as Native Americans (nee American Indians) and dumped the King's tea into the Boston Harbor as a protest against arbitrary

It would probably be justified to accuse me of partisan leanings, because I am absolutely delighted to see the GOP struggling to find an identity. What they seem to be failing to realize is that they never lost it. The GOP is trying to figure out how this identity can be revered in today's political and economic times. They're bumping up against the brick wall of reality. The problem is, the GOP

First off, I wouldn't say that I'm a die-hard Obama supporter (I wanted Hillary, after Joe and John dropped out), but I am excited about Obama now.I was disappointed by the debate. I thought the winner was John McCain, hands down. I was looking for a knockout punch like the rest of them. Short of that, I wanted to see Obama become a little scrappy in a righteous sort of way.

First, Newt Gingrich tells us that we're in World War III (thinking, of course, that framing the explosion of conflict in the Middle East between US forces and Iraqi insurgents, Sunnis and Shiites, and now Israel and Lebanon/Hizbollah will make it politically expedient for the GOP to remain in power) What Gingrich fails to realize is that most Americans are well aware of how dire the future would

There it is... the same old tired argument about how the Democrats want to cut and run. I'll tell you one thing. Even though, that isn't the Democrat position, if it were actually distilled down to it, cutting and running is probably a lot smarter than simply keeping America's youth in Iraq for target practice. There's a lot of good being done by our troops in Iraq, but the amount of progress is,

After Jack Murtha urged the end to new deployments and a measured withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, the GOP decided to push their typical political tactics into overdrive. Rather than create a dialog about what's best for the troops, best for Iraq and best for America, they pushed Jack Murtha's objective to the extreme -- calling for the "immediate withdrawal" of troops from Iraq.

I am disgusted by the antics of Karl Rove as the next guy, but honestly, I never thought that going after him was going to amount to much. Democrats scream for his ouster but they're too shrill themselves. If they'd only sit back and wait for the press to do their job, we could make this whole political arena less acidic. Of course, having been beat up so many times by Mr. Rove, I can understand

There are now new allegations by British memos that accused the Americans of little or no post-war planning. I think we all know that is patently false. The U.S. did have a plan. From observation, it can be seen that the U.S. plan was this: Depose Saddam Hussein from power; Rebuild the oil production facilities; Give Iraqis a true sense of freedom by allowing them to enter government buildings,

Bob Herbert has the latest about the Radical Conservative hippies who are in power today. Rebellious teens have taken over the country and there is something perversely anti-oedipal about their motives. They're sticking it in the faces of the wise and elder statesmen. This is their ultimate rebellion. While a large part of the youth was busy protesting the Vietnam war and the overreach of

If any ambivalent voters gave Bush at least a momentary benefit of the doubt, they can rest easy now. The tiger has revealed his stripes. Observe the new Cabinet appointments, the directorship at the CIA and the shuffling at the Pentagon, and one conclusion is extremely clear: If your loyalty to the President is greater than any other criteria, including your respect for right or wrong, then

It is very interesting how the media begins talking about the redefinition of Democrats when the Democrats aren't ready to commit to anything right now. Redefining Democrats?

Those of you who claim to be resistant to supporting Bush have a historical and legitimate reason to expect that Bush won't do what you consider to be the right thing. I can understand that, and I sympathize. But I also know that that type of outlook is not going to change the political dynamic at the outset. Getting angry got us nowhere for the last four years, and it certainly won't for the

Here it is, folks, the Eve of America's choosing. How could a race be any fairer? The American public split right down the middle. For two men, that situation is somewhat comforting. Neither man's worth has been abandoned by Americans at large. Both Bush and Kerry can say with certainty and pride, "Half of the American people chose me to be their leader."

Usama Bin Laden has pretty much made it clear that he'd prefer a Bush victory. He's offered a conciliatory explanation that flies right in the face of how he knows the Bush team and supporters would react. Bin Laden knows very well that Bush would never "stop attacking al Qaeda's security" and as such is giving American's perhaps the impression that al Qaeda is on the run. According to the

What so many of us on the left rant against is the "instant-proof" mentality. You take an action and whatever results immediately afterwards is proof enough that the action was effective. The example we'll use here is that ol' "no further attacks" on American soil argument. You know something?

The Lowell Sun has endorsed George Bush for president. Well, it's nice to see a paper endorse George Bush once in awhile, because most of the larger newspapers around the country with more readership are consistently endorsing John Kerry.

A hearty endorsement of George W. Bush by the Bloomington Pantograph in Illinois has this great statement: Bush's methods and rationale can be -- and have been -- questioned. The intelligence information provided to Bush and Congress before the invasion of Iraq was clearly faulty. The Bush administration also underestimated the difficulty of stabilizing Iraq after the toppling of Saddam Hussein

Okay, so Kerry can't blame Bush directly for losing jobs. What Kerry says is that Bush is presiding over a period of four years where there are fewer jobs than when he started. So Kerry can't blame Bush directly for the loss of jobs. But he tries to blame him for not putting into place economic policies that Kerry believes would stimulate job creation. Now the job decline in and of itself may

George Bush was much better prepared this evening, and it showed. He was also more shrill towards the beginning of the debate. He tried to use the flip-flop accusation against John Kerry, but they were only glancing blows. John Kerry allowed himself to get nicked here and there because he can't seem to abandon the positive talk and defend himself for a moment. Is that good or bad? It shows

Unfortunately, John Kerry doesn't realize that his message is still getting lost through his rhetorical style. We now have the media all abuzz about his term "Global Test" which, I'll admit, is an unfortunate term for the concept he was talking about during the debate. As one Kerry supporter, I feel it is necessary to talk about what he means by a "Global Test" because so many people are

At last, Tom Friedman has come full circle, finally speaking sense again. Bush is turning all of his strategic energies towards defeating John Kerry, instead of re-examining a strategy in Iraq. His ideological base have been dictating the game plan for years now. The debate clearly illustrated the fact that Bush cannot develop a strategy on his own. Perhaps he should start reading newspapers?

There are a lot of you who continually tell us that John Kerry will say anything to get elected. As written, that statement isn't accurate. What John Kerry does is change the nuance or the focus of his campaign on different issues, day to day. Any candidate with a lick of sense does the same. If they didn't, no one would see any reason to vote for them. Some candidates change their message,

Dan Rather's political leanings have never been a mystery. I think CBS is predisposed to picking up an investigative story due to the fact that they've been the host network of "60 Minutes" for exactly 36 years. It's a brand recognition concept. That this Bush National Guard story has been around since his campaign in 2000 but always given a pass by the media meant that it was again ripe for

Bush and his cabinet are the most business friendly administration in history. Nothing wrong with that...except: The Bush idea of pro-business means that his Administration is: 1) Anti-Science - they've ignored or suppressed universally accepted hard scientific facts (from emissions, global warming, and chemical dumping) to tilt policy towards large corporate contributors; 2) anti-Environment

George W. Bush is an unwavering leader, a man who proudly follows his convictions, and leads with his gut. George Bush's decisions never sway from the straight path of his vision. John Kerry examines the issues and tries to make the right decision. John Kerry sometimes has a problem in deciding what's right, especially when there are numerous other conditions and consequences that go along with

Has anyone seen any more hatred or vitriole spewed at political convention before in their lives? I mean the Republicans at the Convention are manic. One minute they're bowing their heads in tribute to Ronald Reagan, September 11 victims, and the next they're screaming about John Kerry. All they can do when talking about George Bush is speak in large sweeping generalizations. They can't point

Michael Moore could be one of the most influential filmmakers in history, save for one small flaw (actually, make that a big flaw)-- he doesn't know when to stop. Michael Moore suffers from the same flaw that ails MoveOn.org. They both hold far too much anger to excel in their muckraking. Now, I'm not saying their viewpoints are wrong. In fact, they're far from wrong, but they do themselves a

That's right. It's done. The damage to Kerry from the SwiftBoat Vets has played itself out. Kerry has survived the vitriolic attacks over his Vietnam war experience. It is becoming clear to many that the attacks against John Kerry have always been personal in nature. With more and more facts coming to light, it's clear that very few of these veterans have any substantial evidence to support

I railed against Democrats for nominating John Kerry because he was more "electable" than Howard Dean. I was dismayed when his poll numbers and message were mired in the never-ending innuendo and negative "fact reporting" of the Republican campaign. He pulled it off. John Kerry may not have the star-studded rhetoric and charisma of others, but his speech was pretty damn great. And I can

For all of his faults, Bill Clinton does have the knack in telling us like it is.  I watched Chris Matthews' coverage on MSNBC, and for a political pundit, he sure threw his craft out of the window.  Clinton illustrated very stark differences between the administration and the Democrats, even though he framed it as Republicans and Democrats.  It's interesting to note that not all Republicans buy

In the great tolerant city of Seattle, the Archbishop is exercising the new church doctrine of meddling. John Kerry doesn't advocate abortion.  He doesn't support abortion.  He supports a woman's right to choose -- and is opposed to creating a law taking away that right.  The Catholic church is absolutely wrong to make this an issue.  John Kerry, who appears to most to be a good Catholic, has

I certainly don't see a problem with churches trying to get their congregations registered to vote -- even when they do so to promote religious value voting. I don't like it, but I don't see a problem. What I do object to is any church or religious group trying to make one candidate out to be more, uh, not religious, let's say holy than the other.

You see? This is what I'm talking about! If the Bush Administration was led down the wrong path by the CIA, why did they allow the looting? If Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction, the lack of Pentagon and Bush Administration leadership on the ground situation in Iraq might have been the match that lit the fuse of our destruction.

After murdering Nicholas Berg, there is a good chance that Al Qaeda will win this next battle, too. Since September 11, America appears to be motivated solely by revenge. The problem is that this revenge in many cases is both racist and without a particular object. Americans want someone to pay for the suffering or murder of innocents. If the recipient of our revenge is also innocent, the usual

John Kerry is the right choice for Democrats. There is a considerable amount of hand-wringing by Democrats concerning a perception of John Kerry's campaign being lackluster. I think that this concern is misguided. This election cycle is unlike any other. There is an entirely new perspective on the country's political future, now.
