Here we go again

The Dems just don't know how to win. Now Carville is pushing yet another bad Democratic Party Slogan/Bumper Sticker:



My message to him is: It's the Candidates, Stupid. Support the candidates, and try to have a positive slogan. If we stick with the heir to "Anybody but Bush", we will get stuck with the heir to Bush.

Bad Politics is killing Dems

In 2004, the dems lost because their best line was "Anybody but Bush". Let's not do that again. It does matter who we elect. We will not win enough votes on negative alone. We have to lead with a positive line.

Questions about MacOS X Leapard

What happens when you try to use the new iChat features with someone who has the old version?

Can you have more than 4 spaces?

Does Time Machine back up the files in Windows under Boot Camp/Virtualization?

If you set up your time machine to work with your home networked drive, what happens when you are away from home?

Why the trend toward big blurry icons?

Recently I have upgraded various apps on my PC. And it seems like all the new versions use bigger, blurrier icons. The most recent was the huge new version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Perhaps I should switch to a 3rd party reader.

Why not "No to all"

When I am copying stuff in Windows, and there are files with the same name already in that deirectory, Windows gives me the options "Yes", "Yes to all", and "No", but not "No to All". Seems like that is the option that would make the most sense in most circumstances and it is the only one missing!

What about the death penalty, Rudi?

Rudi Giuliani is taking on social conservatives on abortion, gay rights, and gun control. What about the Death Penalty? How can someone be Pro Life and Pro Death at the same time?

No smoking in public places

There are many things that are illegal to do in public. You can not go around screaming in people's faces. You can not urinate or defecate in public. You are not allowed to carry around a flaming torch or set fire to things.

Smokers drop their butts all over the place. They could smoke in their own back yards or houses.

Smoking a foul and dangerous habit. It should be done in private.

No more gas powered yard machines

There are electric mowers and blowers, weed whackers and edgers. We don't need to use gas powered ones.

Better yet, there are human powered ones!

The oil company should pay

On Saturday, a gasoline tanker truck crashed on a SF Bay highway, exploded, caused an inferno, and destroyed part of a major highway interchange.

The Oil company should pay for the repairs. They make enormous profits off of the sale of gasoline. They truck the stuff around everywhere at all hours of the day and night. This is their risk. This is their mess.

Our lives will be disrupted for months. We should not have to pay for the repairs. We should even file a class action lawsuit to get reparations from the oil company.
