David Blomstrom's definitions

Billysoft

One of many nicknames for Microsoft, a key member of the Seattle Mafia and global bully. It's especially appropriate because it serves as a reminder that Bill Gates and Microsoft are joined at the hip. (Yes, Virginia, Bill Gates IS a monopolist.)

So what's Billysoft going to announce this week - another crappy software program or another phony pHilanthropy program?

Internet Explorer

A not surprisingly crappy browser created by Microsoft, apparently for the purpose of making web designers' jobs twice as hard, largely because of Bill Gates' arrogant disdain for any standards but his own.

Shall we continue investing our time in writing "hacks" to make our web pages display properly in Internet Explorer, or shall we just start designing for quality browsers instead?

Vichy Democrats

nickname for contemporary members of the Democratic Party, who have sold out to the increasingly fascist Republican Party just as the Vichy French collaborated with the Nazis

The Vichy Democrats include all Democratic officials who voted to invade Iraq - in other words, just about everyone except Senator Paul Wellstone, who died in a mysterious plane crash.

Hugo Chavez

Hugo Chavez is a charismatic, strong-willed and courageous political reformer who, as President of Venezuela, has probably done more to fight corporate corruption, promote socialism and unite Latin America against its traditional enemy, the United States, than any other living person.

Wouldn't it be great if Hugo Chavez would turn his guns on George W. Bush's friend and benefactor, software terrorist Bill Gates, inspiring some blowback in the form of a Latin American Microsoft boycott that could spread around the world?
