I sitting here, still fuming over the treasonous actions of our elected (alleged) representatives in Congress.  It’s not that I didn’t know the handout was going to pass… I’m still allowed my feelings on the topic (which you’ve read already on this blog).  But I wondered aloud to some friends what was going on out [...]

I want to start by removing the candidates from the equation. (?)
What is a debate?  What is a political debate?  They’re obviously not the same thing.
History tells us about the first televised debate.  Kennedy trounced Nixon because he looked so much better.  I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of a finer way [...]

Isn’t it interesting that the bailout has ballooned from the original three pages to something like four hundred and fifty?  Gee, do you have any idea why?
It might have something to do with all of the added pork, given to Congresspersons who wished to vote against it.  Line items that only apply to one state.  [...]

I bought a house a while back.
The only reason I was able to do it was because I had put money away in a 401k. When the house I was renting went up for sale, the owner did their best to assist us in purchasing it.  We almost didn’t get the house.  Why?  Because [...]

I just had the misfortune to see my first presidential commercial of the season.  It was an Obama commercial, detailing the Grand Plan for Healthcare.
According to Mr. Obama, he would fix everything by allowing people to keep their employer-sponsored healthcare and force the insurers to pay for routine care and other things they don’t want [...]

next time some smartass comes up to you and blathers on about Windows, you can have at least one hundred snappy rejoinders just waiting at the ready…  shouldn’t be too difficult to come up with a few hundred more, right?

The House is limiting e-mails from the public to prevent its websites from crashing due to the enormous amount of mail being submitted on the financial bailout bill.
This is disturbing on many levels.
“It’s ok, folks… move along… nothing to see here….

Windows 7 to Make Shutdown Options More Prominent
And I thought it was just me who found it plain old stupid that Vista hid the shutdown button.
Flash Is Under Development for the iPhone
Crisis averted.  The world can rest easier tonight.
Three Steps to Landing the Perfect Apartment
If you use enough explosives, it will land wherever you [...]

OK, here’s one you don’t hear often…
My coworker told me he is often mistaken for Jewish.  He’s Greek, so I guess it’s all the same neighborhood anyway.
Today he told me about his son, who’s starting college and living in the dorms this year.  He’s apparently following in his father’s footsteps, with somewhat more determination.  He [...]

Hundreds marched on Wall Street to protest the bailout.  Yet this was completely ignored by the mainstream media.  Nada.  Nothing.  Not a peep.
What do you suppose it will take to wake up the Great Unwashed?  These boobs are not doing you any favors (unless you’re really trying to avoid knowing anything of any value).
I found [...]
