Moving On, But Not To Move On Dot Org
10.01.04 (3:10 pm)

Sorry about the blog not being updated for a few days folks, I've been spending the time over the last few days looking for a new site to host the blog.


I do rather like tblog, it is very easy to use, but sadly we've simply outgrown it for a host.  We are looking for some features Tblog doesn't currently support, and as a result we'll be moving our operation to a new host as soon as we've decided on our best option.


Overall Tblog has been a good service, but I do have some issues with the support we received when questions or problems arose.  Our postings in the support forum always went completely unanswered, as did several of our emails.  There were other minor annoyances as well, such as the constant spamming of the political channel by the village idiot.  We suggested several ways Tblog could make changes to make such spamming far less irritating to the rest of us, and again our suggestions went unanswered.  I fully understand that new features take time to implement, but as far as we can tell all of our suggestions fell on deaf ears.


I realize Tblog has a great many users and as such it's operators are probably rather busy people, but while I respect Tblog's commitment to providing a free blog with a lot of capabilities I think they could have done a much better job of taking care of their paying customers, such as ourselves. 


There was also the question of reliability, while Tblog's service has improved somewhat of late it was not all that uncommon over the last several months for our site to be down almost as often as it was up.


So for these reasons we have decided to move on to another host Strangely enough moveon.org didn't seem to be interested in hosting our blog, so were investigating other options.


We'll post the new URL as soon as we make our final decision on a new host, it should happen within the next several weeks.

Just a couple random items today:

First, a longstanding peeve of mine. One of the things that continually gnaws at me is the continual slamming of the “Mission Accomplished” banner on the carrier that the President visited. Why is this an issue? The banner was true. These guys had just gotten done serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and now were coming home. [i]Their[/i] mission [b]was[/b] accomplished. Of course, it’s easy to purposely misinterpret it as a statement about the whole Iraq situation, if you choose to, but it’s fairly obvious that the mission referred to was that of the carrier.

John Kerry and his allies are trying to scare us into believing that the Bush administration is trying to revive the draft. There’s only one problem with that: It’s a lie. There is currently legislation on the docket in Congress to revive the draft: Senate bill S.89 [url=] http://www.congress.gov/cgi-b...:SN00089: [/url] and HR 163 [url=] http://www.congress.gov/cgi-b...:HR00163: [/url], which are both sponsored by Democrats. To state that the Republicans are trying to revive the draft is an outright lie. The Kerry campaign has to be pretty desperate for an issue they think they can win on when they start inventing issues.

Speaking to Diane Sawyer on GMA, John Kerry attributes his famous “I voted for the $87 billion, before I voted against it.” To being tired. [i]"No, it wasn't classic at all. It just was a very inarticulate way of saying something, and I had one of those inarticulate moments late in the evening when I was dead tired in the primaries and I didn't say something very clearly."[/i]

The only problem with this is, it wasn’t in the evening. It was made at a [b]noontime[/b] appearance at Marshall University.

This guy’s pathological. He can’t even keep the simplest story straight. As Neal Boortz says in this morning’s Neal’s Nuze [i]“When John Kerry is up against the wall, or when he is caught in a lie by the media, he just makes something up to cover his tracks. This is the second time he has done it on ABC, the first being when he said he did actually throw away his medals. This lie was exposed when those medals showed up on a wall in his Senate office. It was then that we learn that Kerry actually threw away someone else's medals.”[/i] [url=] http://boortz.com/nuze/index.... [/url] Between that story, Cambodia, “I don’t fall, that SOB pushed me”… it’s becoming increasingly simple to tell when John Kerry is telling a lie. His lips are moving. If he can’t even tell the truth about the little stuff, how can we trust him in the White House?
