Bush takes Florida

This doesn't look good.

Blue Light Alert

From today's New York Times:

"In its final form, their project may be viewed as the Homeland Security Department's worst nightmare: a road map enabling all sorts of undesirables to penetrate a nation's borders, banking systems, supermarket loyalty clubs."

I seriously doubt that government officials are worried about someone stealing my Safeway discounts.

The Bush recovery continues!

Job-cut plans soar to 8-month high

Something to think about tonight during the VP debate.

Kerry wins!

That's what we're hearing from the undecided panels at NBC, CBS and ABC. Something tells me the Fox News poll will look a little different.

It's all about momentum, baby!

The debate, part II

Wow, all six of the undecided Ohio voters on NBC's post-debate panel sound like they're leaning toward Kerry now.

Awesome!

The debate

Did Bush do as badly as I think he did? He looked like a guy who forgot to study for his final oral exam.

Users say Microsoft's Money is broke

It's true.

I have to echo the sentiment. While I'm not having the same bill-payment problem with the 2005 upgrade, there are lots of other irritating bugs that put me on the verge of going back to the previous version:

- After it resurrected old bills on the automatic scheduler, I had to completely re-do my scheduled bills and entire budget.

- I disconnected my accounts from online banking. When I went to re-connect them, it imported the banking info as new accounts, minus any info on pending bills.

- Online updates are erratic and confusing. When I try to manually sync my accounts it gives me an error stating that I can't -- because it's in the middle of an update!

- A change in the categories messed up the budget I had created, making "food" a seperate catagory, rather than the parent category, for "groceries" and "dining out."

These aren't huge problems, but 2005 doesn't really offer any real improvements over 2004, either. I liked earlier versions of Money, and I usually like having the latest and greatest software. But I have to recommend against this upgrade.

Mechanical Pong

Those wacky Germans give us an idea of what Pong might have looked like if the transistor had never been invented.

They found the lost WMD!

In Georgia .

Bush resorts to criticizing Americans

Bush: Kerry? strategy 'tired, pathetic'

"What would you expect from a senator from Massachusetts?" Bush said, as a partisan crowd cheered the reference to Kerry's home state and its liberal leanings.

What goes around comes around

The New York Times > Washington > Documents Suggest Special Treatment for Bush in Guard

Of course, there's one big difference between this scandal and the one manufactured by the Swift Boat lairs: the historical record vindicates Kerry, but damns Bush.

Another look at the convention.

Ouch.

Flip-flopper-in-chief

MSNBC - Bush promises: 'Nothing will hold us back'

Keep in mind, this is the same guy who said, just a few days ago, that he didn't think the war on terrorism could be won.

GOP backs away from Miller's blast

Wow, old Zell is too crazy for the GOP, too. So much for trying to look moderate.

Winning the war on terror -- or as the rest of the world says, "terrorism"

Worldwide terorrism-related deaths on the rise

Another pro-Bush flip-flopper

Democrat Miller crosses lines, assails Kerry

Just three years ago, Miller introduced Kerry at the Georgia Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, praising him as “one of this nation’s authentic heroes” and a colleague who had “worked to strengthen our military.”

Wednesday night, by contrast, Miller denounced Kerry, whom he hailed three years ago as “one of this party’s best-known and greatest leaders.

The best part is Zeller calling Kerry "weak," just days after Bush said he didn't think the war on terror could be won.

Judgment Day - Yes on Schwarzenegger. No on Bush.

Some good points by William Saletan:

I'm no huge fan of John Kerry. He sees two sides of every one-sided issue, and four sides of every two-sided issue. But the alternative is a president who sees one side of every issue, no matter how many sides it has. Given how many sides there usually are, and given how little effort Bush makes to learn about each issue, the odds are that, on average, he'll pick the wrong side. The record of the last four years shows that he has done precisely that. But because Bush refuses to 'waver,' as Schwarzenegger charitably puts it, we keep going in the wrong direction. The only way to stop such a president is to vote him out of office. Fortunately, an election is coming.

Just in case you're believing any of that crap coming out of New York

Giuliani Charges Lack Context

As usual, the truth is more complex than a soundbite.

Tribes Vengeance

I'm playing the beta. And it rocks.

Bush surrenders

Man, what a flip-flopper. And Kerry looks French?
