“The National Design Awards were presented at the White House yesterday to 10 top designers and architects, including the company that developed Photoshop, and a man partly responsible for the iPod,” Jacqueline Trescott reports for The Washington Post. “Laura Bush told the audience in the East Room that it was a day to remember ‘design’s ability to influence the way we live.'”
Trescott reports, “She said the ‘union of form and function has changed the way we peel potatoes and brush our teeth. Your design has made it more fun to go back in time and play oldies on our iPods and to really go back in time by doctoring our photos on Photoshop.'”
“The awards are sponsored by the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, a New York arm of the Smithsonian Institution,” Trescott reports.
“Adobe Systems, the creator of Photoshop, Acrobat and Dreamweaver software, received the corporate achievement award,” Trescott reports. “The product design award was given to Jonathan Ive, the senior vice president of industrial design at Apple. Products under his supervision include the iMac, iBook and iPod.”

And you forgot bash Fox News party.
The libs want us to lose to the terrorists. They are routing for it.
Liberals are as evil as you can get.
Jesus is Liberal, so there… hehehe…. Al-CIA-da is a hold over from the late ’80’s Afghan war. NeoCons are just that.. cons, not conservative.. i.e., small government, fiscal sanity. Cons = take at whatever cost, F the rest of you, unless you’re just like me .. Libs = take what’s earned, share when needed. The trickle down theory, aka Voodoo economics is working perfectly, we now live under record levels of concentrated wealth. Thanks Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II. short-sighted pricks the whole lot of ’em, as the top gets too heavy, watch the middle (class) crash hard, ouch.
We’re still waiting for an opinion on what the reformed terrorist said besides that you don’t trust the source. Pretend that you know for a fact that that source was true and accurate. What’s your response libs. (ibs and drunk)
Drunk Cheney
Who the Hell ever said I was Christian? I haven’t been to church except for weddings or funerals in 25 years. Ok, maybe a couple of Easters.
I was raised Christian, and share many of the beliefs, and will defend them, and the Jews, against anything Islam throws at them. But no, I am not a practicing Christian.
And by the way, I have had both cheeks bruised and bloodied in many ways, literally and figuratively. Patience may be a virtue, but it is not to be a death sentence.
@ TwentyBenson
Some one upset you? Or just lacking an identity?
I skimmed that stupid article.. notice the author’s name.. hehehe. It is poorly structured… it doesn’t make clear who is ‘talking’ for instance… I think it is just right wing propaganda.. Besides he is not referring to me.. I don’t think it’s Islamic “blow back” it’s all inside jobs sponsored by MI5, CIA and the Mossad, w/ some help from our friend’s in the Pakistani elite. PS where you open/brave enough to check out the videos I posted, not bloody likely.

Sorry – wasn’t trying to offend. That “turn the other cheek” is definitely a christian reference however. I agree – in the real world it doesn’t hold up so well.
———-
As far as the Fascist Right-wingers – You hardly have a plan – Oh, yeah your plan is to fight an endless war against an indefinable enemy. The war on terrorism is a war on a term, a definition. It’s like a war on Depression. The actual enemies are about as obvious any person out in a crowed.
You wouldn’t’ know if they caught a real terrorist or not. They may tell you they caught one – but how do you know that person was anything at all.
So your plan consists more war and pouring Billions and Billions of dollars in to the war machine that consists mainly of huge corporations making war money – that really don’t care about your freedoms – as long as you keep using your credit card. They just want the money and more control. But go ahead and support that if you want.
In the meantime thousand of well meaning soldiers die for this cause. What a waste. If you like war then I hope you own stock in GE, Halliburton, The Carlyle Group, etc…
And Oh yeah, lest get back to the Supposed REAL reason we are in this war. Ben Laden – Where is he? This is a massive FAILURE of the war machine in not catching him. But without him who do we chase? He is now a phantom. He could be dead and no one would admit it. His presence helps fund he war. Instead of catching him we go into Iraq – what a convenient way to stir up hatred for the U.S. and alow funding the war machine go into high gear.
And what do you know. Election ’08 is rolling around and – Surprise – we have new terrorist alert – or gut feelings rather. Are you scared yet?
So tell me about your great plan.
At what point does the killing stop? There isn’t an organized military to offer surrender. Pretty soon you will be turning in your neighbors because you think they could be terrorists.
Thanks for believing the right-wing fascist propaganda and ruining what was once a great country – the USA.
You would give away every freedom you have to “catch the terrorists”.
So let’s hear about your great “war on terrorism plan”. We all want to know how you are going to save us.
what was the story about? can’t tell from the comments…
want to change people’s opinion? remeber the story of the teaching a pig to sing!
My apologies to all. I’ve gotten long in the text. I’ll keep it short from here on out and on the level of the competition here. Not too much to read. I think they can comprehend and in simple terms that they use all the time too.
Here goes:
@ Drunk Liberal – you are a moron
Matt – you are a moron
@ibookslow – you are a moron
Kent – you are a moron
Yuri – read the story – he’s ex “terrorist” Koran is bad, people need to change – what else is new. How are you going to fix it – by killing them faster? (oops too many words)
Proud American – bet you are a Proud Fascist too.
SilverSitter – Supports the terrorist by supporting more war.
TwentyBenson – unless your are a fascist right wing supporter like yourself
There short and simple –

Oh yeah ! Congratulation to Jonathan Ive!
Republitards unite! The first lady recently said, “Nobody suffers in this war more then my husband and I!””
Big deal. I’m an apple user, and republicans are a bunch of losers. Look at everything since 9/11, which was on bushes watch BTW.
Every single thing they have tried to do has been a complete and utter disaster. Republitards unite!

Bin Laden is most likely in Pakistan. Do you libs want to invade Pakistan and have Musharraf get overthrown and the nukes wind up in radical islamic hands? Plus who knows what side Russia and China would go with. That could lead to one heck of a war. You libs want to get Bin Laden and see what happens??? Let’s go for it. I dare you.
Clinton laid the ground work for 9/11 Mr. Sally. The economy is kicking ass and we’re kicking the terrorist’s asses. I’m sure at times the first lady gets sick of listening to you surrenders constantly bash her husband. She needs to understand that you don’t matter. Your like nats. Don’t worry the smart worldly people will take care of you and fight off the terrorists. Drunk LIberal is too far gone with his wild conspiracy theories. He’s probably in a straight jacket at the local nut house typing with a pencil in his teeth. If you really believe that the US and British government are flew the planes into the buildings and blew up the subways and buses in London you have completely friggin lost it. Prove your theory freak.
ibookslow,
that was the biggest joke I’ve ever seen. that is really reaching dude. charlie sheen???? give me a break. you move on types are crazy, crazy.
Here’s a good rebuttal to ibookslow’s link:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html
Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. He was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review. He wrote this, you aren’t going to like this pseudo conservatives.

Republicans should have used at least 500,000 troops to begin with. There should be at least 750,000 troops there now. Instead, bush orders 30,000.
I mean lets gets serious if you republitards are serious then go fight the war yourself, and spend your own god damn money.
I like those numbers Mike. Too bad we haven’t done that yet. Hopefully we do. That PopMechanics site was spectacular. ibookfast you should read it.
Mike, we’d need a draft to get those numbers, good luck finding support for that. When over the PM article, weak sauce. Hank did you take the 20 minutes to watch that first video I posted? For your convienence here it is again: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5615710732442096687&hl=en
here’s a rebuttal to the PM article.. it’s huge page be patient. btw, have your read the NIST report on WTC 7? No? Well of course not, it still hasn’t been released after almost 6 years! hmm. “It is anticipated that a draft report will be released by early 2007.” … still no show…hmmm that quote is from here…http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
It brings me no joy knowing that USA, Inc. has no concern for human life, regardless of its nationality.
sorry, let me try that again..

And yes I’m a Proud Liberal. If Hitler hated liberals I want to be a liberal.
The so-called “reformed terrorist” (Hassan Butt) that the “27%” Republicans are now clinging to as justification for their war is in reality an argument against their war.
How so?
Butt’s own statements – for what they’re worth – are an indictment of Wahabist Islam as interpreted by Islamic “scholars” and taught in madrassas across the Islamic world, but particularly in Pakistan which is – allegedly – an ally in the war on terror, but whose Religious Affairs Minister is as guilty as any in the Islamic world of making inflammatory statements that are likely to act as encouragement to extremists.
And the financial sponsor of that religious philosophy and the “schools’ which disseminate that philosophy is Saudi Arabia, another alleged ally in the war on terror who supplied most of the 9/11 bombers as well as Usama bin Laden.
And yet this administration fails to take the Saudi government (i.e. the House of Saud) to task regarding its support of institutions which create imams who then spread a message of intolerance globally.
Why?
Why are we so craven that we dare not question the Saudi royal family? If they are a friend, they should understand our concerns.
The reason is simple: we crave oil more than we crave security and we cannot live without the dominance of the dollar (as the de facto means of paying for oil).
And one more thing!
There is a Lady with elegant taste!
She knows a good thing when she sees one!!
Well done Mr. Ive
Of course the Saudis are scum. Everyone knows that. What do you propose. Cutting off the US oil supply???? Do you know what would happen??? Sometimes you have to temporarily deal with scum bags. Saudis are scum.
