WATCHDOG: O'DONNELL 'CLEARLY A CRIMINAL'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Criminal overemphasis added]

The Washington Post has variously described CREW as a "liberal watchdog group",^[2] "nonprofit watchdog group",^[3] "advocacy group",^[4] and "nonpartisan watchdog group".^[5] Roll Call reported in January 2008 that CREW files most of its complaints against members of Congress, and "all but a handful... have targeted Republicans". The article stated that CREW had issued press releases against Democrats but usually had not filed complaints against them, with the exception of Senator Mary Landrieu, a conservative Democrat.^[6] ...

Melanie Sloan serves as CREW's Executive Director. Prior to starting CREW in 2003, she served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia, after having worked for Congressional Democrats John Conyers, Charles Schumer, and Joseph Biden.^[15] [Link]

For the last three days (and we should have mentioned this before) we've tried getting our spanking new home-built computer running but have fought a seemingly insoluble conflict between two audio sources. (The problem is quite widespread.) We tried one solution yesterday from the EVGA site's forums but so screwed it up we just shut off our computer for the rest of the night, intent on trying again today. (This time we follow the instructions.) And so for several hours we did without a computer. It was a relaxing feeling, although we couldn't help noticing the faint twinge of withdrawal similar to what we'd feel if we kicked our Coca-Cola habit. By doing without the Web we do without people whose first intent is to grind us into the ground, be they conservatives or liberals, and this story alone proves that for all the mindless chatter about computers improving our lot forever and ever they only give us the same old bad in an industrial-strength new. I may do without the Web more often from here on out -- if I can kick that habit.

P. S. And if I fix that problem it's on to another one involving sudden random BSODs.
