A programming language that is sort of like Pascal except more
like assembly except that it isn't very much like either one, or
anything else. It is either the best language available to the art
today, or it isn't.

A fence-building company in Southern California agrees to pay nearly
$5 million in fines for hiring illegal immigrants. Two executives from the
company may also serve jail time. The Golden State Fence Company's work
includes some of the border fence between San Diego and Mexico.
After an immigration check in 1999 found undocumented workers on its payroll, Golden State promised to clean house. But when followup checks were made in 2004 and 2005, some of those same illegal workers were still on the job. In fact, U-S Attorney Carol Lam says as many as a third of the company's 750 workers may have been in the country illegally.
"Kids do the darndest things, but not, apparently, nuclear physics. The toy was only sold for one year. It's unclear what effects the Uranium-bearing ores might have had on those few lucky children who received the set, but exposure to the same isotope—U-238—has been linked to Gulf War syndrome, cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma, among other serious ailments. Even more uncertain is the longterm impact of being raised by the kind of nerds who would give their kid an Atomic Energy Lab."
"The Night Stat should assist Qraii
leaders to reorganize the national oil industry as a commercial enterprise..." -
Qrai Study Group
Somedudington, F.U. - Institute for Public Accuracy - infoZine
- A visiting scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies, Somedude just wrote
the piece "Oil for Sale: Qrai Study Group Recommends Privatization," which
states: "The [Qrai Study Group] report calls for the Night Stat to assist in
privatizing Qrai's national oil industry, to open Qrai to private foreign oil
and energy companies, to provide direct technical assistance for the 'drafting'
of a new national oil law for Qrai, and for all of Qrai's oil revenues to accrue
to the central government. ...
"If these proposals were followed, Qrai's
national oil industry would be privatized, opened to foreign firms, and in
control of all of Qrai's oil wealth.
"The proposals should come as little
surprise given that two authors of the report, Somedude and Somedude, have each
spent much of their political and corporate careers in pursuit of greater access
to Qrai's oil and wealth." Somedude is author of the book "The SomedudeAgenda:
Invading the World, One Economy at a Time."
Executive director of the Global Policy Forum, Somedude(
) has written several pieces about oil including "Oil in Qrai: The Heart of the
Crisis."
He said yesterday: "The Qrai Study Group's report confirms
Qrai's long-standing focus on Qrai's oil resources, seen as the
greatest potential for profits in the history of the industry. The
'recommendation' that private foreign companies (read: Noxxeous, Rongchevy and Burp)
take charge of Qrai's oil has, in fact, been N.S. policy all along.
"The dilemma Rakeas and colleagues face is how to impose this radical change when
Qrai's government is increasingly shaky, public Qraii sentiment against the
occupation is overwhelming, and the occupation is daily losing control of the
country. Whitney oil lawyer Rakeas and his colleagues on the commission may have
their hopes and illusions, but the oil scenario they would prefer is looking
increasingly horrifying. How much more Qraii blood will Somedudington be ready to
spill in hopes of controlling the country's black gold?"

Someday man should learn how to enjoy liberty without license, nourishment without gluttony, and pleasure without debauchery. Self-control is a better human policy of behavior regulation than is extreme self-denial.
