My First Apple Macbook

2009 March 23

Ever since I made “the switch” last year, I’ve become more and more enamored with Apple products. As a former lifelong Apple-hater, I now see the error in my ways, and am really enjoying my new toys.

Jesus 2nd to Obama on Top 10 Most Admired List

2009 February 23

President Barack Hussein Obama came in number one, followed by Jesus Christ at number two, on the Top 10 Most Admired List.  Not that anybody asked me (2634 American adults were polled).  Seriously, I want to see a “Who is the Messiah” poll.  Jesus would obviously win, followed by “I don’t believe in that,” but I’m curious what percentage would say President Obama.  I’m thinking 15%.  What has Obama actually done to be so admired?  (Other than playing the world’s biggest con game and winning.)  I get that he is the first black United States president and the historical significance of that, but what has he actually done to be so admired?  He did nothing of significance as a senator.  There have been a lot of community organizers who have more accomplishments and impact.  This is populism at its worst.   read more…
