[CARPE DIEM] Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my comparison, but I was trying to make the point that we lose sight of the ridiculous size of the U.S. economy ($14 trillion of annual output) and one way to put it in perspective is to show that just the

[FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right] FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: Obama & Palin: Carpe Diem: I'm afraid it has a lot more to do with the fact that Obama is extremely intelligent and soaked up all his experience, political, educational and organizational, like a sponge, surrounded himself with equally intelligent and focused people and presented it as a complete package as opposed to Palin who was plucked from a pretty backwater mess because of her up front conservative appeal and shock factor, continues to display complete incoherence, which sunk McCain's bid and blythely continue to believe there is some larger faction of the public that will think she is some kind of polar wunderkind despite continued ineptness and displays of an inability to finish anything (college, mayorship, governorship) of epic proportions as "seizing the day". No comparison.

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: Fake Receipts: Thus it is profitable (and fattening) simply to be travelling for the company, and a lot of people seem adept at inveigling themselves into all sorts of trips that could probably be handled with a phone call. The really clever ones have wangled offices in two sites, and visiting their "other office" counts as travelling but is approved automatically instead of having to justify it on a travel request, thus allowing them to bilk the company for meals and fuel as much as 150 days a year, even though simply attending to ones normal job and living at ones normal residence.

[Transformers Rumors News] Rumor: Next Botcon 09 Figure to be Universe 2.0 repaint: If you're one of the Botcon guys, you envy, what, the Japanese? I'm a great believer in being happy with what you can have rather than being upset with what you can't, but I can appreciate the frustration of those who want a particular figure only to see it yanked out of the $12 range and into the potential hundreds of dollars.
[Hoboken 411] Hoboken Dart Players Association | Hoboken411.com: I was a regular there for about a year because we were on that dart team, and even when we were regulars the prices were crazy. I mean, yeah, they do buy backs and stuff, but overall, there is no reason they should charge as much as they do, especially when you can walk next door to shannon or mulligans and pay less for the same experience.
[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: Not because she wants to eliminate women's right to choose, and supports policies that would not benefit most women, but because, if she succeeds McCain, she is so clueless on foreign policy and gives gut emotional reactions like "It's not fair," rather than logical arguments, that she will run this country into the ground, and confirm the false belief that women should not be president. Palin is NOT the woman to represent our gender as the first female president of the US.
[Super Morning Show] Who cares about sacrificing for Ghana? : Super Morning Show: Good thought and well written second speech like that our country Ghana needs to hear,like that which should be common to us,like that which our leaders been political,religious,traditional etc should display each and everyday,like that which the youth should take pride in. All these has eruded us because somebody somewhere has sat on these values that we know of and which we had dreamt of.

This guy has chosen to become educated and dedicated his life to his field and has effectively gone above and beyond in his position to achieve, near the end of his career, a fine living.

All that effort, all those years, all those lies you had to remember, all those stories you had to rehearse, all the suits you had to buy, the drinks you had to lay the money down for, the dinners you felt compelled to pick up the tab to impress everyone, all the forced smiles, and the late night insomnia over your reputation and your pictures in the Broward Lifestyles mags, all that- and still NOT A SINGLE PERSON would VOUCH for your character.

To solve California's irresponsible handling of the taxpayers to include small and medium sized businesses, you are all welcome to re-locate to Adams county Nebraska, The city of Hastings as the seat of county government.
