USA: Jon Basil Utley on AntiWar.com describes 36 ways the USA is losing the war on terror. It’s interesting reading. W’s short-term anti-terror campaign has played into al-Qaeda’s long-term plans, while increasing the likelihood of a nucelar conflict.

Sports: The AP reported on Monday that Bucs WR Joe Jurevicius has a herniated disc in his back.

Actually, Gruden now says that Joe will be back in 2 to 6 weeks. Whew.

USA: It’s business as usual in the GOP. W’s boys speak out about the growing suspicion that the latest terror alerts are bogus. Read these articles.

Meanwhile, President, um, Vice President Cheney claims the Democrats can’t protect the nation, and they also deserve the blame for high gasoline prices. And yes, Cheney suggests more drilling, including in Alaska. Halliburton and the oil companies have proposals on the table, I’m sure.

Hawai’i: The Advo has a nice article on Jack Sullivan, known as Mr. Soccer in Hawai’i. I met him at Murphy’s a couple of months ago, and we talked about hockey and soccer.

Tech: Mike Magee of the Inquirer recounts the years he’s spent installing Microsoft Windows. I feel his pain! The article brought back my memories of configuring BlueMAX so that I could have 633 MB of RAM under PC-DOS, for example. I needed that much base memory to run Windows 3.0 reasonably well. I beta-tested OS/2, only to see Windows 95 crush IBM’s operating system.
