The difference is who is receiving the privilege, who is benefiting from the cheating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our 'His Arrogance in Chief' won and so it will be done HIS way.  And his way evidently bears no resemblance to his outrageous campaign rhetoric of a clean administration.  We have lobbyists in our executive offices (how are tricks Mr. Murtha?), we have a speaker of the house (Nancy Pelosi) who I believe is 'non-partisan' because she does not know the meaning of the word, and a Senate majority leader, a reed blowing in the wind who is a hopeless windbag of non-ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are living in interesting times.

I was most interested in Mr. Wright's recent assertion that preaching in black churches was different.  I'll say.  When did black preachers stop preaching the Gospel?  Or is politics the best way to get people to change these days? For some reason every time I see or hear Jeremiah Wright an image of Al Sharpton flashes through my mind. Followed by Jesse Jackson. And that's not a positive image in my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will admit that I spend probably too much time trying to decide where my Christian duty ends and my citizenship begins.

Seems the hard drive wasn't being recognized.  After much checking I determined it was indeed a dead hard drive.  So the search started for a replacement.  I went to CompUSA looking and they had a bunch of 2.5 inch drives - all out of my budget range by a long shot.  The clerk (very helpful and knowledgeable) suggested that if I didn't mind off brand products they had a sale on Centon hard drives.  A 60 gig unit would run me about $95.  That was a lot closer to my budget so I took it home.  It installed without a hitch and is up and running but the interesting thing is that the hard drive is clearly labeled as being made by Toshiba.  Not that much of an off brand in my book.  Let's see how long it lasts.  Oh, and I institute a backup program this week - for sure.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15628211-115050746576956421?l=occnc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://occnc.blogspot.com/feeds/115050746576956421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15628211&amp;postID=115050746576956421' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15628211/posts/default/115050746576956421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15628211/posts/default/115050746576956421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://occnc.blogspot.com/2006/06/hd-crash.html' title='HD Crash'/><author><name>Grumpie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00858540362297081550</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628211.post-114677595284452033</id><published>2006-05-04T13:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-04T13:52:32.863-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Misleading headlines...</title><content type='html'>I got all excited when I read the headline on Drudge 'Draft Hillary Effort to Kick Off'.
