Pirate Day

September 15, 2006 Dan

Tuesday September 19th is “Talk Like a Pirate Day”… so… talk like your a pirate that day (duh!).

This is especially true for those in customer service fields… when you answer a phone in your call center it should be “Arrrrr me matey…what do you want?”

Apple

Shipped!

September 15, 2006 Dan

Since I ordered my iMac, I have constantly been refreshing Apple’s order status page to see when it would ship out to me (and, because everyone knows if you check on the order more often, it gets built faster)… I woke up this morning, and checked..and it shipped!

Sep 15, 2006 9:13 PM Picked up SHANGHAI CN Package received after FedEx cutoff

9:13 PM Left origin SHANGHAI CN

4:46 PM Package data transmitted to FedEx

So… my iMac left China at 9:15p tonight (isn’t the date line fun when dealing with shipping?)

its on its way!

Now I get to go refresh FedEx’s page all the time…since I’m sure that will make the planes/trucks go faster…

In my studies as an attorney and as a United States Senator, I have constantly been amazed by the indifference or even hostility shown the Second Amendment by courts, legislatures, and commentators. James Madison would be startled to hear that his recognition of a right to keep and bear arms, which passed the House by a voice vote without objection and hardly a debate, has since been construed in but a single, and most ambiguous Supreme Court decision, whereas his proposals for freedom of religion, which he made reluctantly out of fear that they would be rejected or narrowed beyond use, and those for freedom of assembly, which passed only after a lengthy and bitter debate, are the subject of scores of detailed and favorable decisions.
Thomas Jefferson, who kept a veritable armory of pistols, rifles and shotguns at Monticello, and advised his nephew to forsake other sports in favor of hunting, would be astounded to hear supposed civil libertarians claim firearm ownership should be restricted.
Samuel Adams, a handgun owner who pressed for an amendment stating that the "Constitution shall never be construed . . . to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms," would be shocked to hear that his native state today imposes a year's sentence, without probation or parole, for carrying a firearm without a police permit."
