Change We Can Afford

 

From a McCain/Palin OpEd in WSJ:

In the first 100 days of our administration, we will look at every agency and department and expenditure of the federal government and ask this simple question: Is it serving the needs of the taxpayer? If it is not, we will reform it or shut it down, and we will spend money only on what is truly in the interest of the American people.
Awesome.

The Faux Heart Attack

 

Now that McCain is 10 points up, which is an 18-point free fall for The One in one month, Joe Biden's "heart attack" is on the way - about two weeks from now.

And in comes Hillary...

How to Make Art on Verizon's LG Dare Phone

 

My friend, Jeff, suggested that I make a video about drawing on the Dare. So here it is.

He might have intended that I actually draw on the Dare and record it. But I can't have the camera running and accurately draw at the same time, I discovered.

What I hope is that more people come to the Dare and create art on their cell phones as a result of the video.

A progression I've considered...

  1. The cell started out as an instrument for communication.
  2. Then the cell phone became an instrument for productivity, with the addition of email and calendaring.
  3. With the iPhone, the cell phone became an instrument for entertainment.
  4. I think we're moving into a period where the cell phone becomes an instrument for creativity.
It will be interesting to see if others start using the Dare to draw. I know of a couple of people, but they don't really post their artwork in a central place.

Putting Whiteout on the Teleprompter

 

Now that McCain has shown his depth with 3-D chess while Obama plays checkers, The One's campaign struggles how to answer back to Gov. Barracuda's factual and targeted points.

She's just a mayor.
She ought to be at home with her kids.
McCain/Palin is Bush/Cheney.
Palin's family is unique.
McCain is desperate, and he'll flush her like McGovern flushed Eagleton.
Sarah's just enjoying her newfound celebrity.
Palin used a Bush speechwriter.
McCain is old.

In all of that nonsense, there isn't one argument about policy or action. Of course, when Obama can't get any foreign policy decisions correct (Iran, Israel, Russia, Iraq) and raising taxes for government programs has no historical success in boosting an economy, he's left with grade-school level taunts.

But keep trying... it's entertaining.
