and not black boxes that can be hacked but not audited, right?

and where, exactly, were you, flyboy?

April 24, 2008 – 3:30 pm

Sen. John McCain on Thursday blasted the Bush administration and all levels of government for the failed response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
“We know we didn’t have the right kind of leadership … where government agencies were getting information from watching cable television rather than have a flow of information,” McCain said during an [...]

woohoo! 0.5%!

April 24, 2008 – 12:23 pm

Not to be too snarky, but according to the AP, Clinton won 82 of 158 delegates allocated by the PA primary: a whopping 52%.
Those delegates bring her count up from a pre-PA 1,592.5 to 1,674.5, which takes her from 78.6 of the necessary 2,025 delegates for the nomination to a respectable 82.7% (a rise of [...]

the feminine mistake

April 23, 2008 – 9:32 am

Last Saturday, Clark County Dems gathered for our county convention to elect our delegates for the congressional district and state conventions. It was also an opportunity for Hillary and Obama supporters to switch sides if they so chose (few did).
Like any Democratic gathering, it was a zoo: organized in the macro sense, getting everyone [...]

Dean says FL and MI resolved by June, Hillary is waiting

April 22, 2008 – 6:08 pm

Do you think resolving Florida and Michigan will get Hillary out of the race? Not a chance. “Obliterate Iran”, bringing out Bin Laden in attack ads, asking why Obama can’t win Pennsylvania when a year ago nobody even knew his name there. Hillary knows very well how to play this game. [...]

April 22, 2008 – 10:08 am

At least the Founders cared whether the slaves lived or died.
For McCain, the only thing in Iraq that matters is that our soldiers aren’t getting killed. The Iraqis can kill each other just as much as they like. On This Week (4/20/08):
STEPHANOPOULOS: You’ve defined success in Iraq as a “generally peaceful, [...]

not only to to admit his mistakes, but to do it in the local newspaper:

Way to go, Dad. You just made up for it by showing all the people in town who respect you - and also voted for W - that change is good, and you can face up to your errors in judgment, [...]

i’m glad i was in tkd practicing breaking techniques

April 17, 2008 – 12:52 pm

instead of home watching the debate last night; otherwise, I think I would have put a flying sidekick through my teevee.
Judging from the transcript, all I learned is that Charlie Gibson is a fatuous douchebag, George Stephanopoulos is still afraid of Hillary Clinton a decade after leaving the inner circle, Clinton is still doggedly slinging [...]
