Mea Culpa From Somewhere On The Hill

You know me, or you think you did. I was too busy glad-handing with my elite backers to read any of the bills that passed over my desk, no matter how much they limit your freedom to speak, protest or travel

Crack Book Tales

Like the Facebook? Well lately it?s been the bane of Rod Bruno?s existence, likely because he over-tickled his hundreds of friends, and brought the facebook?s mail system to it?s knees, caused massive floods and bridges to collapse, forcing DHS to shut him down?

Spinal Chord - Variety Telethon 1991

Knoppmyth Tweaks for a Win TV Go Plus Capture Card

You end up with long .nuv files which can exported to .mpg files by invoking the nuvexport utility.
