I assume this won't convince any dumb Republicans anyway, but this is a quote from McCain. It's not some off-the-cuff remark he made to a reporter. He actually wrote this as part of his 2008 presidential campaign literature. If you read this and actually vote for him, then YOU ARE AN IDIOT and you deserve the current economy and deserve to get laid off for being stupid.
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
Minutes after the rescue bill was defeated, the Republicans blamed the Democrats. Yet 140 Democrats voted for the bills and only 95 voted against. Whereas 65 Republicans voted for and 133 against. WTF? More Republican stupidity. The Republicans turned their back on their own leaders. FU Bush! That's what they said. Long due! I'm starting to actually like the Republicans again. But just a bit. A really small bit.
Here's a couple images of my new biz card for HelloSanta.org. I ordered 250 to start, but will get another 1000 today.

Check this out! I first learned about Michael Warns watching CNN a couple minutes ago. This guy is a bible thumping moron using religion to bash Obama. He calls Oprah the devil and titles himself as god. He had a couple dozen supporters holding up banners at today's Obama rally. I think bible thumpers like this need to be exposed and his followers need to be laughed at. If you know this person or his followers, then please begin laughing at them publicly. Thanks!
Too funny! Thanks Robin!

This last week, I created a new website called Hello Santa, where kids can submit their Christmas lists online to Santa Claus. Looking for some free QA. Please check it out!
Just how does Microsoft, Google and Yahoo pay $30M in fines for gambling advertising they ran before online gambling became illegal. Meanwhile, NBC runs a gambling TV franchise where every player wears advertising for gambling websites like a NASCAR driver wears advertising for motor oil. You want an election issue? Ask Obama and McCain what they plan on doing to the billions leaving the U.S. economy monthly to illegal offshore gambling institutions. I'm sure McCain will want tougher law enforcement. Ya, that'll work. Americans losing jobs offshore. Americans gamble online on offshore websites. Legalized, tax and legislate. Or Americans lose out on the fastest growing part of the worldwide economy. BTW, we have an election in Canada this fall as well. Let's make it an issue across North America.
Last month, we bought a Wii and the kids thought it was great. I was happy that the video system required a bit of exercise, until our PS2. Since then, I've been looking for Wii Fit, because my wife thought she might like it and I thought it might be worth the $100 price tag. Two days ago, my wife picked one up and our entire family has been going Ga Ga for it ever since. We setup profiles for everybody and we're now tracking our BMI, weight, activity. There's lots of fun exercises in four basic categories; Yoga, Strength, Aerobics and Balance. They keep track of your highest scores to push you everytime you play. Yesterday, my Wii Fit age was 49. Today, I tested myself three times, improving each; 42, 39 (my actual age) and 33. Both my wife and I did over one hour today alone. The three kids have school, but still did 10-20 minutes each in the evening. This is a major recommend. In fact, I'm recommending Nintendo's stock after the double success of Wii and Wii Fit. Add that to my recommdation of Apple's.
Not sure if this is true or not, but interesting none-the-less.

By far the sexiest song in a long time. The video is blah.
Simply blogasm. Simply list 5 movies you watched lately that you liked.
You can likely tell I don't go much to the movie theatre. None of them did I watch for the first time. I got my favorites and I watch them over-and-over.
YouTube is producing a lot of great amateur film. The Retarded Policeman is a series by Mediocre Films.
OK, you all win. I caved and bought myself an Apple laptop today. I needed an extra laptop for the kids as my backup Dell laptop was getting quite old and mostly unusable. I'm also getting more and more Safari users on my websites. Some of the features don't work on Safari and I was previously suggesting the user upgrade to Firefox. Unfortunately, Safari now represents 8% of the visitors and is quickly catching up to Firefox (20%). Mac plus iPhone have also exceeded 10% of the visitors. What this means is that I gotta get my stuff working on Safari. So, I bought my kids a MacBook, which I can also use to test my websites. Here's my thoughts after owning a MacBook for a few hours.
- MacBooks cost about twice what an equivalent Dell computer costs. I paid $1300 (taxes inclusive) and could've bought the same Dell for $600.
- Safari crashed in the first 5 minutes of me using it.
- The MacBook crashed within a couple hours of my daughter using it. I had a hell of a time trying to reboot the Mac. I tried pulling the battery and AC at the suggestion of the manual, but that didn't work. I guessed holding the power button might force the computer to stop and unsleep. I was then able to reboot it.
After listening to Mac users tell me how easy it is and that it never crashes, I didn't have the same experience. I told my daughter to notify me if it crashes again. I'll keep ya'll informed. In the meanwhile, you won, I bought a Mac. But... Mac still sucks!
A couple weeks ago, we bought NASCAR 2008 for our PS2.This is actually one of the first games that I liked in quite a long time. The races are quite intense and require a precision and concentration. I've now mastered it and won in season mode on the Legend (most difficult setting).
- There's still a couple things that I don't like. When you crash, the yellow flag comes out immediately and the restart uses the same position as when the crash occured. This means, the cars involved in a crash don't lose position. For this reason, you can take advantage of crashing your own car.
- Once I mastered the easiest level (Rookie), I moved up (Veteran) and didn't find it any more difficult. Then I moved up again (Legend) and not much difference. There isn't enough difference in difficult to keep your interest all that long. I have one more Chase for the Cup to do on Legend and I'll have conquered most of the game. The Rookie level should be a bit easier and the Legend needs to be much more difficult.
