As it is I’ll probably vote for him while holding my nose. As it is the ony reason I can see to vote for him is to get Bush out of the White House as quickly as possible. That may be reason enough, but I’d like to have a reason to vote for Kerry, not just against G.W.
It looks like George W. got three of four letters correct, and for him, that’s pretty darn good.
It was Iran, not Iraq, stockpiling weapons of mass distruction. An honest mistake. (NOT!)
The fallout continues from the firing of UH President Evan Dobelle.
It was inevitable. A lot of us began speculating when Dobelle would be forced out after Governor Lingle was elected in 2002 (Dobelle publicly endorsed Democrat Mazie Hirono in that race). In retrospect that probably had less to do with it than his constant feuding with the Board of Trustees, and I think that blame needs to be laid equally with the board. The hostility flowed in both directions. Dobelle didn’t seem to want to be accountable to anyone but himself, and the board seemed to want to put him on a short leash. What is most interesting that the…
BTW, Dave, I like the format of your morning coffee notes, but you need a logo for it.
Maybe a shot of you sitting in Starbucks with your mug. I’ll have to borrow the format for my NahenaheNet weblog. Like I said before, I only steal, er, borrow, from the best
Dave shares his thoughts on the week long RonnieFest.
I was thinking the same thing. If Clinton or Carter had died during the Bush presidency there is no way we would have had a week long pageant celebrating their lives. Not that Carter deserved one; he was basically a decent man who was in over his head in a turbulent era. Clinton will probably be most remembered for a stain left on someone’s dress. I’m not sure that Reagan would have gotten this treatment last year when Bush’s reelection seemed assured. Now it’s been a week-long excuse to move the media focus away from Iraq. I was 20 years…
Satellite Cat Fight!
Echostar (Dish Network) and Viacom (CBS network, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, BET, among others) have sharpened their claws and going at each others’s throats. I first became aware of this last week when watching Comedy Central. The channel started to superimpose a text message addressed to “Dish Network Customers” over the programming, but it was quickly blacked out, assumably by Dish Network staff. This happened a few times during the show. Today we got home and found all of the channels out of service, with a message from Dish Network to direct our frustrations at Viacom. With all of the…
Dave finds it interesting that no candidate weblogs show up on the Share Your OPML Top 100.
I don’t find it suprising. To me subscribing one of those would be like tuning into a cable channel that broadcasts nothing but political advertising generated by the candidates and their parties. I’m not subscribed to any political weblogs. Why? I need balance. I don’t need to hear any more Bush-bashing, Dean-trashing crap, or pie-in-the-sky “I can cure all of the world’s ills” baloney. I’d like to read someone’s fair coverage of their policies and plans and how it affects Joe Average Citizen without the spin. Does such a beast exist? Is it possible?
Men like gadgets, women like make-up.
“”In cyberspace, no one may know you’re a dog, but it’s depressingly easy to tell if you are a man or a woman, depending on the internet sites you visit,” says Karlin Lillington. “What do men buy? Consumer electronics, sporting goods, computer gear, including hardware, software and peripherals, cars and accessories, and – but of course – video games.” For me, delete sporting goods and video games, and add music and music-related gear.
Governor Arnie?
Now that California has the Governator, I’m wondering which of these will happen first: A) there will be a new recall petition put in place to remove him, or B) someone will begin a movement to amend or remove Article II of the US Constitution, Section 1, Clause 5, which states “No persona except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
