Dennis McDonald Resigns from R-Calf
<blockquote>March 12, 2007<br />n<br />nTo Whom It May Concern:<br />n<br />nThe implosion of R-CALF occurred in large part as a result of the most ferocious power grabs I have ever witnessed. The effort started more than a year ago with a concerted effort to rid the organization of Leo McDonnell, myself, and others. A letter…

Controlled-Risk
I see that the US and Canada might get <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601082&sid=aUf0L2lZAzfM&refer=canada">`Controlled-Risk' Status for <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym></a>. The article claims this status might help us get some of our lost export markets back. I'm not so sure. <a href="http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/Engnews/20070313/650000000020070313180856E6.html">South Korea has indicated</a> that no mater what status we get from OIE, they are going to…

Privileges
<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6472422,00.html">Some people shouldn't have the privilege of breeding</a>. There kind of "love" disgusts me.<br />n<br />n<strong>The government gives a license to a person to drive or even to fish, but they'll let any worthless asshole have children. Unknown</strong>

Question
Again, one of those pop culture things I just don't get. Can anybody tell me why it is so necessary to change the time from standard to daylight savings? I don't care if it is 3 weeks earlier than normal or not this year, I don't see the benefit at all. Some people claim it…

Waiting

He knows he is not allowed in the corral with the cattle so he inches in a little while waiting. Taken 2/10/2007.<center>

New Offering
I find it interesting that it is being reported that Dell might be thinking about offering their computers with <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070306/tc_nm/dell_linux_dc">Linux installed instead of Windows</a>. I think this is really a positive move for Dell. Linux is so much more robust and stable than Microsoft products that is only makes sense.<br />n<br />nThis idea came…

Disaster Aid Try
We all knew it was coming, the Democrats are <a href="http://www.brownfieldnetwork.com/gestalt/go.cfm?objectid=32F6DE3C-B0AB-D5A0-DDB2E28D1840FA22">adding agricultural disaster aid</a> into a "supplemental spending bill." When I first saw this headline it looked like maybe Congress was finally going to get somewhere with Disaster aid for those who need it. It turns out I was wrong.<br />n<br />nThe Democrats are <a…
