State of the board after Spring 1905. This game just got suddenly interesting.

State of the board after winter 1903:

How can i look at my orders that often and still fuck it up.

State of the board after fall 1903.

I'll have to give it to you dewey, that was a rather ballsy move. I did see Spa -> Tus as a potential move but I was thinking you wouldn't risk getting 0 SCs this turn and would go for the safety of just guaranteeing Tunis. Well played, but you've quite a fight ahead of you still.

Ouch to Germany.

I changed to a more simple display since jDip won't display who owns what with the prettier looking map.

So I've been a little youtube link happy for the last couple entries, but figured I'd add this because it's the most awesome thing I have ever seen ... ever.

Now I don't claim to be an excellent coder, but I've seen some really stupid shit in my several years on my current job.

Just now I've come across quite a doozy:

public Connection getConnection(String username, String password) throws SQLException {
	System.out.println("*** ConnectionPoolWrapper.getConnection(username, password) called... ***");
	try {
		throw new Exception("*** ConnectionPoolWrapper.getConnection(username, password) called... ***");
	}
	catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	return getTargetDataSource().getConnection(username, password);
}

I'm going to guess that this method was overridden from the base class and probably never intended to be called, but ... I really can't say for sure.

Umm ... ok.

The more and more I think about Star Trek, the more and more I get irritated by the sheer madness of it all. Spoilers ahead, you have been warned.

If I could ask Obama (or wish that someone would ask him) one thing it would be this:

Since you have admitted to using marijuana and cocaine, do you feel you would have deserved to go to jail and serve a mandatory minimum of several years and have your entire life wrecked if you had been caught back then?

If you say no, then why do you support other teens going to jail and having not only their lives, but their families lives ruined for what you once did as a teenager.

If you say yes, why don't you voluntarily turn yourself in and serve your time for breaking the law.

I'm really curious to hear his answer.

So as can be gathered from previous posts, I'm not a particularly big fan of Obama and his so called "change".

But, this is some change I can get behind.

USGov's stance towards Cuba has been one of utter madness. From what I can tell, the policy of total embargo benefits nobody. Not our government, not our businesses, not the cuban people, and the idea of freedom were certainly not advanced (which would be pretty ironic since that includes the freedom of association, which the policy did restrict).

Economic sanctions have never been able to topple thuggish dictators. It didn't work with Iraq, it's sure as fuck not working with North Korea, and it hasn't done shit for Cuba. The end result has typically been miserable and/or dead people in those respective countries.

Hopefully this means that the embargo is eventually going to end, because once it does the days of Castro regime are numbered. At the end of the day, free enterprise is the quickest killer of oppressive regimes than any embargo could hope to be.

Horray for CHANGE!.

Also, Horray for CHANGE!

And again, HORRAY FOR EVEN MORE CHANGE!

Finally, someone gets it. Having paper money backed by absolutely nothing is not such a great idea after all.

I really wish this was a joke.
