Are Programmers Engineers?

The Llama King writes "The Houston Chronicle has an interesting story about a debate in the Texas Legislature over whether programmers are really engineers. A quote: " 'It's one of the silliest issues we're having to deal with this session, but it's also one of the most important,' said Steven Kester, legislative director of the American Electronics Association, an organization of computer companies." Are you really an engineer? Or just a code-monkey?"

Stupid White Men (the awful truth)

The thing with Michael Moore is, if Gore had won, he wouldn't have said a word. This sounds obvious, but it's actually a crucial point: it's not the democratic process that Michael Moore cares about, it's the fact that his side lost.

Oh, and Clinton bombed Sudan, destroying their major facility for pharmaceutical manufacture. Moore said not a word.

If I was a USA citizen I would have voted for Nadar, not because I thought he could win, but because the Democrat and the Republican

So, we have Democrat voters too dumb to read the instructions and use the voting cards correctly, and wannabe Nader voters who can't even spell the name of their candidate. No wonder the Republicans won.
