Speaking of Inconvenient

First, an aside. I want to slap everybody who calls An Inconvienient Truth Algore’s PowerPoint presentation. It isn’t.

It’s a Keynote presentation. At least he knows which side his bread is buttered on. (And seems to be enjoying it.)

The movie I’d really like to see is an uncensored debate between Algore and this guy.

I wrote a post two days ago. Somehow it got saved as a draft instead of getting published. I just pushed it through, and it appeared under the draft date, Aug 28.

Since it has so much good stuff, I’m linking to it here.

Sudden Jihadi Syndrome.

I’m shocked, shocked! to learn that the man who aimed his vehicle at, and hit, many pedestrians in Fremont and San Francisco yesterday is a Muslim. Not only is it hard to get the MSM to say it, but LGF has KTVU video where the reporter quotes a witness who said the driver called himself a terrorist, and then goes on to say that it couldn’t have been terrorism.

Naw. Mowing down people on purpose with your car couldn’t be terrorism.

Update:

According to one documentary filmmaker who interviewed a lot of future suicide bombers and their families, we should expect more until we

Stop being politically correct and stop believing that this culture is a victim of ours. Radical Islamism today is nothing but a new form of Naziism. Nobody was trying to justify or excuse Hitler in the 1930s. We had to defeat him in order to make peace one day with the German people.

A little potpourri for you today. Global warming is over, animal rights wackos are still sick puppies and, in the jurisdiction of the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals at least, you’d better not drive anywhere if you intend to start a business with cash.

Oh, and an Iranian Mullah is coming to Harvard. The State Department thinks that’s just dandy.

Data Mining

No, not by the NSA. By ZabaSearch. Look yourself up.

It’s scary.

Update:

Apparently opting out is sort of possible:

In order for Intelius to ‘opt out’ your public information from being viewable on the Intelius website we do require faxed proof of identity. Proof of identity can be a state issued ID card or driver’s license. If you are faxing a copy of your driver’s license, cross out the photo and the driver’s license number. We only need to see the name, address and date of birth.

Please fax information to our customer service department at 425-974-6194.

If you are not comfortable doing this you can send us a notarized form proving your identity and we will be glad to remove this public information.

** Please note removing the data here does not prevent public records from sending us new information in the future. To permanently have your records sealed you will need to contact your county’s record
department.

It may be time to stop making county records so public. (I know it would cut down on the junk mail I get.) You can see the problem here, though. First you have to find out about each data mining company, like ZabaSearch, and then do something to be left out of their search. Nothing prevents another company from coming along and making the data available.

What fun.
