The future! Here and now!!

Glee!!!

FINALLY!!

Cindy McCain: Stop picking on me for being filthy rich! Is it my fault I don’t have the problems the little people do?

This reminds me of Ken Lay’s wife (or was it Jeffery Skilling’s?) who said something to the effect of “This whole thing is hurting us too! We had to sell one of our summer houses!”I love it when rich people get offended by people pointing out that they are rich.Maybe, deep down inside, they [...]

Sarah Palin: Not the mother, just trying to save her image and cover up her pregnant daughter, 16.

Daily Kos: Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother [Photos+Video]
Short Version: Palin claimed to be pregnant. At seven months, she made the announcement. No one had noticed a thing.Pictures even after that time show no signs of pregnancy.After much shenanigans, she ‘give birth’. But hey, look back over pictures of her 16 year old [...]

How evil is John McCain?

How evil is John McCain?  You can tell a lot by his choice of Sarah Palin as VP.
1. Lets be honest here.  McCain is old.  McCain is not as healthy as he might be.  Given that, there’s a reasonable chance that he might be, at some point during his presidency, incapacitated.  That would leave Ms. [...]

Sarah Palin: In less than two days, we know more than McCain (I hope)

Daily Kos: PALIN-tology – 45+ Problems for McCain’s VP in just 35 hours
This is a great list. I can only assume that McCain didn’t know all this or he wouldn’t have picked her.Of course, that means that she really is just a political toy. Or, alternately, that McCain’s team are idiots. Did [...]

Atheism: why no one reaches out

The whiny Democratic atheist brigade – Crunchy Con
In the Democratic Party, every day is secularist day! Cut Obama and the DNC some slack — they’re right to do this kind of outreach.
Now, Mr. Dreber does have a point. Historically, the Dems are more secular. However, there’s a couple other, more subtle things at [...]

Why bother with experts?

A brilliant anti-McCain ad
AmericaBlog is right. The experts don’t know what they are doing. Listening to them instead of the electorate could cost Obama the election, IMHO. I can only assume its the experts guiding him to the center. I can only assume its the experts telling him to leave McCain [...]

OneLessDesk: newer, cheaper, but…

Looks like Dean Heckler followed through on his response to my initial posting about the very cool OneLessDesk.  The new version is steel (with a limited edition stainless steel) and only $649.00.
Is it worthwhile?  If my iMac was my work machine, then I would say ‘yes’.
Alas…
Anyhow, big kudos to Dean for listening!
