Endangered Signs.

I finally got my Obama yard sign (probably sent by slow-boat from China), and put it up in my front yard. I placed it near the front door so my surveillance camera can keep an eye on it. Sad, huh? Apparently, according to fellow Obama supporters, theft and vandalism of Obama signs is common. Not that there aren't pro-Obama teenagers with nothing to do and are trashing pro-McCain houses. But since, I am only one of two (out of 100) houses in my neighborhood with Obama yard signs... you get the idea.


Oh yeah, ... my bumper sticker has already received a blow from some jerkoff's foot. That's okay, I am hoping some anti-Obama supporter goes all out and rear-ends my car so I can get a whole new bumper. LOL! No, not really, but I had to joke about it, so I don't get paranoid. :)

    I do not understand you lately Steve, but that is OK. We are all entitled to our own opinions, yet you are getting more and more paranoid. Of course, I guess I do not see the "danger" from Obama signs in Michigan as he is "loved" here. Of course everyone in Detroit loved Kwame and Granholm and look how those choices turned out.

The Continuing Rise of the Machines

Funny things, PCs. My $400 laptop runs circles around my $2300 Sony Vaio (2.8 GHz P4, 1GB RAM) because it is 5 years "younger." Amazing shit. I bought a little USB HDTV ATSC receiver and enjoy beautiful over-the-air HD broadcasts on my laptop... for shits and grins, I plugged it in to my Sony, and it was as if I'd asked it to solve Pi to 3 million decimal places! LOL! It did a decent, albeit, hitchy job of displaying standard definition channels, but HD? Nope. Ah, Moore's law continues, no longer is it clock cycles, but it will be again, and then it will be architecture change again (multiple cores for now), ad infinitum ... until we accidentally build SkyNet. I'm guessing in 10 years, a run-of-the-mill PC will have the computational power of some of the "supercomputers" of today. I know, not a stretch. I'm just trying to get my head around the software that will be inevitably written to bog down that much CPU/Memory horsepower, because those damn d...

Pleading for the future...

"I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men." - Clarence Darrow. Keith Olbermann again cuts through the bullshit and talks about what many of us fear... and how to prevent it. If only we'd listen to reason. I know, what a concept. Yes, of course he's a partisan!! How the hell could you not be in this starkly obvious election? This election is hopefully not a premature referendum on the maturity of the proverbial hearts of men.

Happy Days! Opie, Richie, Fonzie, and Andy for Obama

See more Ron Howard videos at Funny or Die This video is simple sweet nostalgia for me! I grew up watching the Andy Griffith Show , an innocent and sweet black and white (double meaning I was of course unaware of at the time) show about simple times, and apparently devoid of the undercurrent of racism and the raging debate of Vietnam occurring in our country at the time ... or so it seemed. The morality plays within most of the episodes often, at least, subtly touched on the issues of the day and all the while simultaneously and deftly, taught tolerance, and held up to, albeit good natured, ridicule the intolerance and destructive division occurring in our country at the time. In a way that only sweet southern gentility could have pulled off. Floyd the Barber would approve this message. For me personally, The Andy Griffith Show was a serendipitous coincidence and weird connection to Hollywood because it's make-believe town of Mayberry , North Carolina was modeled after my father...
