US Senate Set To Seat Roland Burris

Despite being turned away earlier this week, Democrats are now prepared to seat Roland Burris in the United States Senate. Burris is the appointee of soon-to-be impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who among other things, is accused of trying to sell President-Elect Obama’s vacated Senate Seat to the highest bidder. Democrats initially refused read more..

My Open Source Recommendations

A few posts ago, I casually used the phrase “Open Source” assuming that everybody except the inept RNC Chairman Mike Duncan knew what it was. But perhaps Duncan wasn’t as out of touch (technologically speaking) as I thought. I’ve gotten a few e-mails asking me to explain it further, which means there are read more..

My Overwhelming Support for Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General

For those of you who watch WGN News, I’ve often said Sanjay Gupta is the Tom Skilling of Health. Tom Skilling is one of the most respected meteorologists (weathermen) in the country. His nightly weather updates go into extreme detail so that viewers not only know what the weather is going to be, but why it’s going to be what read more..

Georgia Begins Provoking A Second Conflict With Russia

Of all 2008, there was not a more insane and unstable man in global politics than Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, seen below eating his tie for international television audiences. Days before recording this video, he provoked an all out war with Russia by indiscriminately targeting innocent civilians in the overwhelmingly ethnic-Russian states of Abkhazia and South read more..

Jeb Bush Will NOT Run For Senate

Contenders for the retiring Mel Martinez’s Senate Seat breathed a sigh of relief as former Florida Governor Jeb Bush announced that he would not be a 2010 Senate Candidate. Also breathing a sigh of relief are Florida Democrats who are undoubtedly planning a relatively easy pick up for their party in the next election read more..

Nintendo’s A+ Customer Service

Perhaps I’m rating this too soon, but I just had my first contact with Nintendo’s customer service in 7 years and I must admit that I was incredibly impressed. In fact, this probably ranks at the very top of my customer service experiences. Seven years ago, I had a problem with my GameCube, read more..

What Happened To Drudge?

There was a time years ago when the Drudge Report was actually the place I went in search of breaking news to write about. But sometime before the 2006 elections, the effort Matt Drudge has been putting forward has dropped so significantly that his website is now virtually useless to anybody with 5 minutes read more..

Analysis of the RNC Chairman Debate

I almost hate to split the healthy discussion we’re having in the previous post’s comments section, but I just wanted to throw my analysis out there beyond the live blogging. I’m just going to give my impressions of the candidates from left to right and anything beyond that we can get into in the read more..

RNC Chairman Debate and the new face of the DNC

I’m sitting in front of a 60 inch television in glorious 7.1 surround sound with a 6 pack of Diet Coke on the table next to my Mac iBook. You might expect the TV to be on ESPN or ESPN2 for a big Bowl Game. If I were a Democrat, you might expect read more..
