1. Conservative movement turns on their own   (15 Oct 2008)
It seems the National Review is undergoing a purge - and in the process, losing some of it's true conservatives. First, they turned on Kathleen Parker for saying Palin is an idiot. Now, they've kicked out the founder's son for endorsing Obama. Original endorsement: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-...case-for-obama/ Followup resignation: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-...ad-i-was-fired/ Christopher Buckley, in an exclusive for The Daily Beast, explains why he left The National Review, the...

2. Not only left behind, but maybe given a bit of a shove   (15 Oct 2008)
Now that didn't take long did it! Buckley’s Son Leaves National Review By Patricia Cohen Christopher Buckley, the author and son of the late conservative mainstay William F. Buckley, said in a telephone interview that he has resigned from the National Review, the political journal his father founded in 1955. Mr. Buckley said he had “been effectively fatwahed by the conservative movement” after endorsing Barack Obama in a blog posting on TheDailyBeast.com; since then, he said he has been blankete...

3. (untitled)   (14 Oct 2008)
I'm inclined to agree with Christopher's version, but who knows? Quote: Christopher Buckley, in an exclusive for The Daily Beast, explains why he left The National Review, the magazine his father founded. I seem to have picked an apt title for my Daily Beast column, or blog, or whatever it’s called: “What Fresh Hell.” My last posting (if that’s what it’s called) in which I endorsed Obama, has brought about a very heaping helping of fresh hell. In fact, I think it could accurately be called a tsu...

5. The Case For Liberalism (McGovern in 2002)   (31 Oct 2008)
Quote: :I believe in the essential decency and fairness of the American people. This does not mean, however, that I believe our leaders and our voters always to be of sound judgment. Democracy does not guarantee wisdom or virtue; it guarantees only the principles of majority rule and freedom of choice. And freedom of choice includes, whether we like it or not, the right to be wrong. We can only hope that from time to time our leaders will be right. Now is not such a time. President Bush and his...

7. Creative X-Fi 8 Gig Review (In-depth)   (15 Nov 2008)
I've always been an audio nut since I come from a background of always mixing audio. Thus, I've stuck with Creative's players over the years. I've always enjoyed their audio quality and I definately think they have higher audio quality compared to the iPod brand. This player is no exception. First, let's tell you a bit about the player. X-Fi is the latest brand from Creative and it's their most advanced audio processing yet. This player naturally sounds better than other players out of the box....

9. OT The big issues in the election   (28 Sep 2008)
On Sun, 28 Sep 2008 23:58:30 -0700, "Capt. JG" <jganz@sailnow.invalid First, body language: http://www.businessweek.com/managing/content/sep2008/ca20080929_440972.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index+-+temp_managing Now, on to the big issues: Seven years ago, George W. Bush and his neocon pals wanted to lead this country in the worst way. Since 2001 they have. Now, nearing the end of perhaps the most disastrous U.S. presidency in history, the Democratic Challenger to the incumben...

10. The Four Day Work Week   (19 Nov 2008)
The Four Day Work Week: Sixteen Reasons Why This Might Be an Idea Whose Time Has Come The idea of a shorter work week is not a new one to anyone old enough to have lived through the energy shocks of the 1970's. It should be fairly obvious to anyone interested in conserving oil that reducing the number of daily commutes per week would reduce the overall demand for oil. There are about 133 million workers in America. Around 80% of them get to work by driving alone in a car. The average commute cov...
