Downloaded the latest release. Some platform problems getting it down, but got it. Luggable comes up on the live distribution clean. Connected to the home wireless network by selecting the network and supplying the admission password. Looks like we have something that will be my “production” release for my secondary desktop. Good bye Microsoft is on the horizon!

On Bob Brinker’s radio program today, during the second hour, had a caller call and report that one of the Principal Group’s Stable Value Funds was refusing redemptions. That’s earthshaking. Bob advise legal counsel be retained. Doesn’t sound good for Principal?
Also, on the show, a caller reported a 30+% loss in an California Muncipal Money Market fund. That shouldn’t be possible?

Mike for President

Anyway, what caught my eye was not just the subject which I found of immediate interest, but after reading it, I was pleased to see that he too was pounding the drum on one of the subjects about which readers of this blog will recognize as one about which I have pretty strong feelings – read public education.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but I don’t expect the Teacher’s Union to allow any fundamental shift in “education” policy.
If we have any hope, it will be from parents refusing, or being unable, to pay for “education” that doesn’t have an ROI. If we have any hope, it will be the children realizing that the “eduction” being offered them is a time waster and the strike out on their own. If we have any hope, it will be from the pre-College students refusing to take on the debt load for an education that doesn’t have an ROI.
In short, not a lot of hope.

A former spokesman for the Obama campaign said 375 people were hired as part of the Vote Corps program and said people signed up to work three-hour shifts at a time. Three hours of canvassing got workers a $30 pre-paid Visa card.

From: “Senator Robert Menendez” <Senator_Menendez@menendez.senate.gov>
Date: November 5, 2008 11:48:47 AM EST
To: Reinke
Subject: Re: From Senator Menendez’s Website
Dear Mr. Reinke:
Thank you for contacting me with your concerns regarding the National Capital Security and Safety Act (H.R. 6842). I appreciate the opportunity to hear your views on this important issue.
As you may know, the National Capital Security and Safety Act will make significant negative changes to the District of Columbia’s existing firearms law. For example, this legislation would repeal the District of Columbia’s current ban on semiautomatic assault weapons, as well as it’s prohibition on individuals carrying guns in public. It would eliminate the District of Columbia’s firearm registration system and do away with criminal background checks for secondhand gun purchases. In a nutshell, it will require the District to remove all restrictions on gun ownership that go beyond the minimum federal requirements and would prohibit the District from adopting gun regulations from other cities and states. I find this legislation to be unacceptable.
Like many issues that come before the United States Congress, the issue of gun control has two sides, each of which is strongly and passionately defended by its supporters. As your Senator, I firmly believe in the right of all citizens to use firearms responsibly to protect one’s home and family. I also support safe recreational use of guns, as long as participants act responsibly. I do not, however, support gun use by all people in all situations, and I am committed to keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and those that will use them to do harm. I believe the National Capital Security and Safety Act could have a considerable negative impact on safety and security in the nation’s capital. Therefore, I cannot support it. Although this bill passed through the House of Representatives with the support of the National Rifle Association by a vote of 266-152, I will continue to work to improve the bill on the Senate side so that a safe and reasonable gun control law can be enacted.
Again, thank you for contacting me regarding this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of concern. I invite you to visit my website (http://menendez.senate.gov) to learn of other important issues to New Jersey.

What part of “shall not be infringed” does Senator Menedez NOT understand?
If the pen is mightier than the sword, then Menedez would seek “reasonable printer control”?
Argh!

How stupid is Senator Menendez?
Larrey Anderson
*** begin quote ***
Either he is stupid or he is intentionally confusing the difference between the income tax and capital gains taxes.
Watch this interview of Senator Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, by Neil Cavuto on FOX news.
*** end quote ***
Well, we have Lautenberg too.
<Just shaking my head!>
I don’t think we have ANYTHING to worry about. There won’t be any tax cuts period.
Then sheeple have been fooled again.

Drudge is reporting 62M votes of O and 55M votes for McC. That’s 117M votes in a country of 300M? A third in what’s widely touted as the best turn out ever.
Do we have the beginnings of a revolt?
