RANT: Couric as a “news” person

Tuesday, September 5, 2006

I don’t understand and perhaps someone can explain it to me.

For the most part, the media is left of center in the right left paradigm. They are all big government cheerleaders. On talk radio, one finds some claims to be small government, but that is quickly sniffed out as a lie. Many of the “right” web sites, have roasted Ms. Couric as a leftist. Yet, during her coronation now as a “new anchor”, she gets the rightest of the right talk show guys Rush to cheer-lead for her.

I just don’t understand.

Hence, I avoid all the news interpretation. Just give me the facts and I’ll draw my own conclusions. I think this is a good policy for all the talking heads.

TECH: Been using VWBBie a lot and it just seems slow

Tuesday, September 5, 2006

Over the week end I ran off VWBBie a lot. (Don’t ask! Typical weekend horror story that I’ve been having lately.) And VWBBie was a little balky.  Dropped connects and windoze stupidity led to some reboots. It was just hard to get stuff done. When it would drop out completely and there was no free wifi available, I wonder what everyone, proclaiming “the writeable web is great”, does when there ain’t no connection to that web. Hmmm, don’t sell the island of computing theory short just yet.

This morning I ran a different speed test
