Please Vote Obama This Tuesday

The G'st is proud to join living Kennedys, Ted and Caroline in endorsing Barack Obama for president. February 5 is Super Tuesday, when 52% of all primary delegates are at stake. Odds are you'll be voting then. And my friends, I know there are some of you out there who are thinking about voting for Hilary Clinton. And I would like to dissuade you from that. There's a lot I want to say, but I don't want to distract from the matter at hand. So first, the evidence:



Two very important, must-read articles on the Clinton's brutal and racist attacks on Obama.
Ghettoizing Barack
Obama’s Hollow Victory


These are the options:
Clinton v. McCain
Obama v. McCain
Clinton v. Romney
Obama v. Romney

Only Obama can energize the American voter, not only to win in November, but to win so decisively as to have a mandate for change. In Obama we finally have a candidate the people don't need to be tricked into liking. A candidate who's best spokesman for his ideas is himself. A candidate who's core ideas and personal convictions come from within, not from polls and consultants.

I realize there are a lot of women out there who would like to see a woman elected president. I would too. But seriously, not this woman. While so many of us had the common sense to oppose going to war with Iraq, she voted for the Iraq War. Her Senate career proves her to be a friend of the defense (WAR) industry, the bane of American freedom and independence. Our great nation has never needed change more, not just for progress, but for survival. Having the same two families in the White House for 24-28 years is poison for a democracy.

If you want change. If you want a better America. If you want to tell Bush, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Only one candidate can do that. Only one candidate will change the course Dick Cheney has set this nation on. Please join me in supporting Obama at the primaries.

It was one of the most public manifestations to date of the odd friendship and mutual need of two dynasties that, on the surface at least, have almost nothing in common. But as President Bush put it in an interview with CBS News last month, "Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton." Mr. Bush made the remark in a telling exchange with Bob Schieffer, who said, "Well, you know, if Senator Clinton becomes president."

"There we go," Mr. Bush said.

"Maybe we'll see a day," Mr. Schieffer continued.

"Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton," Mr. Bush responded.

Redesign and Reply

So Conner and I have given the site a going over. Trying to make it easier to read and use. Things are still in flux and probably will be until we find a way to make the look of the blog match it's feel. Tricky business indeed, and so please feel free to leave your comments about the design. If things don't look quite right, you may be using Internet Explorer and you should get used to the entire Internet looking crappy until you switch.

All this webwork has got me thinking about past sites and past blogs I've done. I recently stumbled upon one in particular and discovered quite a bit of discussion in the comments about the only real post on the blog. It's the first time I've ever broken the top 20 results for a Google search of someone else's name.

I'm going to be vague and not actually provide a link, because I don't really want people who read that post to be able to find their way back to this blog. I'm not super proud of the post, but I am very proud to have earned their comments. Anyway, if you want to check it out type this address into your browser:
And here's another dead blog of mine:

Maintaining it was a class assignment. And though I stopped as soon as class ended, it did help me prepare for THE G'ST.

Don't Let Criminals Escape

President Bush wants the Senate to pass retroactive immunity for telecommunication companies who spied on Americans. For the President, this isn't just about letting his friends at AT&T and Verizon off the hook. He knows this is the American people's last chance to hold the Bush administration accountable for their warrantless wiretapping of innocent Americans.

The key vote is scheduled for late Monday afternoon and the count is down to the wire. We need 41 Senators to stand up to President Bush and right now we have only 36.

Senators Clinton and Obama are the missing votes. If Senator Clinton or Obama stands up and leads from the floor of the U.S. Senate and calls upon the 8 senators that have endorsed their campaigns to stand with them, we'll have the votes we need and the American people will win.

TVTVTV!

If your looking to put the zap on your waking mind, there's really nothing like television. And if you want to see a collection of Youtube finds, I just updated my four playlists on my Youtube Channel. Cartoons, music, politics, and craziness, are the four pillars of my Church of Youtube.

But if you'd rather use TV to learn about the outside world then I can not recommend Louis Theroux enough. You can watch his show on the youtube and alluc.org. I want to get the DVDs eventually. If you'd like glimpses into the hidden corners of the world, you really need a guide like Louis. Watching him alternately disarm and arm a situation, and watching the characters he meets as they're essences are completely revealed before the camera, well it's quite a show.

If you'd rather not drift into the weird world of Louis, then maybe you'd be more comfortable with his less friendly, but equally lovable BBC counterpart, Charlie Brooker. His show about television and cultural decay is called Screen Wipe and can also be found on the youtube and alluc.org. If you want to know just how great Charlie Brooker is then just watch this:

Better Than Cellphone Watches

So I was thinking how I really wanted to build a watch with digital hands that preformed a few specific tasks. Just a little piece of wristwear that would tell time and serve as a compass, an instrument tuner, and maybe a thermostat and barometer. Well eventually this line of thought lead me to a simple question. Could you fit a lie detector in a watch? And "modern lie detector test" lead me to this gem of a website.
