Despite being raised in a Democratic household, I’ve been enjoying the Republican convention this week, much to the chagrin of most of my family.
This is in the context of being revolted by the amount of money spent by the Obama/Biden campaign and horrified by the bile spewed by their venomous automaton-like supporters in public blogs all over the internet.

Afford It?
Now, what do you have to do – or what do you have to be – to afford THIS?
Chrome Comic
Google’s explanation of their new browser “Chrome” is in the form of a very well written comic book, about 40 pages long: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
It’s a good overview of the problems that both users and developers have with browser technology.
I am really looking forward to the release.

An episode of the Biography Channel series “I Survived” includes the story of a woman who was raped, shot 3 times and left for dead by one Jamaal Adrian Turner, who was captured when he returned to the scene of the crime to show his friends what he had done to his victim.
She escaped, Turner is in jail, and earlier this year, he posted a personal ad on a dating web site.
A nutcase who calls herself “Janice223” wrote some bizarre entries about all of this on the Biography Channel’s message board.
Her ideas are so twisted that one hopes they are either a joke in exceptionally bad taste, or maybe a political dirty trick.
If this is a reflection an actual point of view, then we have a great deal to fear.
Any Bets?
So, Sarah Palin and her husband announced that their 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant.
When do we suppose Governor Palin will gracefully withdraw from the race? I would bet that it happens some time tomorrow, giving John McCain a day before his acceptance speech to name another running mate.
Wonder if he’ll take a chance on Lieberman?
Sarah, Good and Bad
I respect John McCain for getting back to his maverick roots by selecting Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
There are things about her that I don’t like, her anti-choice stance being the main one. Note by the way that Ron Paul is also anti-abortion, as is the loathesome Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party’s candidate for President.
