This article goes into detail about each State’s current policy in national elections regarding “winner takes all”. In short, if you win Florida by 1 vote, you win ALL 25 electoral votes, not 13. Wouldn’t it be great if we just had the popular vote elect the president? That would mean that a dozen hicks…
I’ve been harassing my brother all summer telling him that Kerry will finish strong and not make mistakes. Well, he has made mistakes, and he is waiting an awfully long time to get into the game. What the heck is he doing? Today he called Imus and told him: “President Bush’s desk isn’t where the…
Now, I hate Bush as much as the next normal person, but these documents are obvious forgeries. The question is WHO forged them. My theory is that Karl Rove forged them as a red herring. In other words, he put out the forgeries, INTENDING them to be discovered and throw smoke over the entire Bush…
NY Jets started their season off with a solid win. I think they are going to go 16-0 this season and win the superbowl. 97.2% sure. Speaking of which. I think I may have to forego the NFL Sunday ticket from DirecTV in the new house. Unfortunately, Its $220 and with buying the new house,…
I am 98% sure they are going to win the superbowl this year. I am about 94% sure they will have a perfect season and make Miami finally shut up! The first game is against the Bengals. The game is Sunday, Sept 12. 10:00am PST. The main question is: How the hell am I going…
Malaprop is a great word. Here is one from Bush. “Too many good OB/GYN’s aren’t able to practice their” – he paused a split second, as if searching for a word, then continued – “their love, with women all across this country,” he said. And my mom wanted me to be a doctor! Nuts.
My father’s father, (aka Papa) died last Tuesday. I flew alone to the funeral in NY. It was a pleasant affair considering the circumstances. Papa was toughness personified. He had huge hands and they were the symbol for me of his strength and willpower. He was “old world” and you could see it in his…
Uncle Daniel is visiting us tomorrow. He is driving up the california coast with Lindee (spelling?). Hopefully he wont get lost and somehow drive to Hawaii.
Say Never-ending terror, three times fast. Ok, check this out. Bush says the War on terror can never be won. “I don’t think you can win it,” the president said, when asked if the war on terrorism can be won. “But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a…
According to the MSNBC Article alot of people are protesting in NYC. At first it said “tens of thousands of people”. Then it said “over 100,000 people”. Then this paragraph: Police gave no official crowd estimate for the main march, though one law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, put the crowd at 120,000;…
Ok, this is great. Acording to abcnews, the note. Bush said, “Five twenty-sevens — I think these ought to be outlawed. … I think they should have been outlawed a year ago. We have billionaires writing checks, large checks, to influence the outcome of the election.” Can you believe that? Rich people! Influencing elections! And…
I never realized this, but you can put more than one class into an html element. Example: <style> .red {color:red;} .padded { padding: 10px;} .backed {background:yellow;} .verdana {font: 14px verdana;} </style> <span class=”red backed padded verdana”>New CSS Trick!</span> CSS is so cool. I love it. I want…
The Olympic motto is Higher, Faster, Stronger. This to me seems pretty straight-forward. Who can run the fastest, swim the fastest, jump the highest, lift the most, etc etc. So why are there all kinds of athletics that are based on aesthetic judgment. Like synchronized swimming, gymnastics, figure skating, platform diving and freestyle skiing. These…
I’m watching the Olympics. Two quick thoughts: 1) What’s up with Gayle Devers nails? They are like 4 inches long each. How can she run with them? Don’t they cause wind resistence? Why do swimmers put on their caps to reduce resistance, but runners don’t care? 2) Discus. Man, what a non-sport this thing is.…
