Bailout

I wonder if the federal government will offer me $85 million if I threaten to file for bankruptcy.

That’s a no, huh?

Rove said what?!?

You know the world has gone crazy when Karl Rove starts making sense.

Mainstream

You know that your subculture has gone mainstream when its subscription dating telephone line has ads on cable. I’m talking of course about Interactive Male, which has ads that run on Comedy Central.

But I want it now!

It looks like Google co-founder Sergey Brin is just as miffed as I am about the lack of Mac OS X version of Chrome. With the co-founder “asking about it everyday” speculation is that the Mac version is a “matter of months” away.

I know Google is all about the loosey-goosey way of doing business, but it may be time to start cracking the whip in Mountain View. At least until they get the Mac version of Chrome out the door.

Well, congratulations, Senator McCain and Governor Palin. You have achieved something that Al Gore, John Kerry, and George W. Bush never could: You got me to donate to a political campaign. And it wasn’t yours.

After just two minutes of Governor Palin’s speech last night, I was so disgusted, so angered, so fed up that I forced my father to turn the TV off. I can stand political debate, but I can’t stand thinly veiled personal attacks. I welcome dialogue, but I hate partisan rhetoric. And that’s all Governor Palin’s speech was: Shots at Barack Obama and his speech at Mile High Stadium; snide comments about community organizers; and the insinuation that anyone who supports the Democratic nominee isn’t as patriotic as a gun-toting, immigrant-hating, god-fearing, queer-bashing, war-mongering Republican.

So, this morning, I donated to Senator Obama’s campaign. It wasn’t a big donation, but it was the first time I’d ever been moved to do such a thing. If the McCain-Palin campaign is going to engage in the kind of attacks we saw last night, the Obama-Biden campaign is going to have to come out swinging. And that costs money. It’s the least I can do to help us move past the last eight years that have ruined this country.
