The One Good Thing Bush Did

Ithose of you who know me, know how hard it is for me to find something positive that pResident Bush has achieved. Well I have finally done it. Eureka! It hit me on the way to work today. First I was in the car for 10 minutes to get to the train station two miles away, then I hiked a half mile from my parling spot and waited 15 minutes for the next train to arrive. That was a long trip, I thought to myself and I haven't had a trip that long to the station since shortly after Bush took office. You see, lots of people around here have lost their jobs and have not returned to work. Those who have, switched to new careers. Wow, thanks george, I really appreciate how much time you have saved me over the last four years. Since it appears you are slipping up and letting a few more people return to work, I guess I might as well fire you and open the flood gates so everyone can get back to work. Thanks again for clearing the highways, parking, and crowd at the water cooler.

HTTP Error 401.1

What does that mean? Can anyone tell me exactly? It comes from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, they can't tell me either. At least not someone that I can talk to...maybe someone in the deepest darkest reaches of Redmond, er... Bangalore (oops, wrong blog). Anyway, why the heck can't MS just give more descriptive errors or some debugging tools in Internet Explorer. I mean throw me a bone. It seems that M$ has trimmed all the support staff for the products when they shipped the jobs to India. So no more manuals or support I guess. Can you believe the details of the error said put "HTTP and 401" in your browser for details on the error? What? Now you have to perform a search to get help for M$ products? Unbelieveable! I wish I could draw a line and give us M$, but I am too hooked so I will have to deal with their open source manuals. I'm off to get a fix for my error, if I can find out what that is...
