  1. We recently replaced our 10+ year old vga monitor with a widescreen 19
  2. The irony of sorts - with the advent of HD, the quality of the image on the screen has improved dramatically, while, inversely, the quality of the shows broadcast and delivered to those screens has taken just as dramatic a drop
  3. I think maybe you should watch this: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/cheney/ In summation: For three decades Vice President Dick Cheney conducted a secretive, behind-closed-doors campaign to give the president virtually unlimited wartime power. Finally, in the aftermath of 9/11, the Justice Department and the White House made a number of controversial legal decisions. Orchestrated by Cheney and his lawyer David Addington, the department interpreted executive power in an expansive and extraordinary way, granting President George W. Bush the power to detain, interrogate, torture, w
  4. - it's funny cause it's true.
  5. Aw shucks, thanks Bjorn - sincerely. Now, much much much more importantly, it's Spring - even if only in name throughout most of the country.
  6. Agreed, but it is, I think, especially damaging to and for the black community. EDIT - example: Release Date:August 9, 2005 Conspiracy Theories Affect Birth Control Use by Black Men and Women By Becky Ham, Science Writer Health Behavior News Service -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a recent survey of 500 black Americans, only half believed that the government tells the truth about the safety and side effects of new birth control methods. Birth control conspiracy theories still affect the use of birth control by black men an
  7. That is certainly true, among other conspiracy theories. The irony, is that the continued propagation of these sorts of theories, by a pastor no less, only serve to further alienate the black community
  8. On the whole, I tend to agree with you. I just came across Barack

  10. I don't own an Ipod, and as a result, don't have any personal experience to share - I was, however, able to find this - I hope it helps. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-move-m...n-5-easy-steps/
  11. Essentially, yes. But it still ignores the fact that he, Wright, was a hired, and one would imagine, paid member of the campaign. I wonder how well it would go over if Don Imus was given a position on McCain
  12. Good point, and I agree with you 100% - though, to be fair, McCain did not appoint either of those fellows to his campaign. Seeking someone

Propagating outright absurdities such as the following does verly little to help heal racial divides and only serves to widen them: "The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color" - Rev. Wright If a Bush campaign appointee was found to have made similar incindiary remarks, regardless of when the remarks were made and in whose company, you can bet de

  15. Personality-wise, Obama and Hillary are, in many respects, polar opposites, policy-wise, however, they are pretty much on the same page
  16. Thanks for the link, I hope all is well and hurry back. As for the song, well, I'm sorry to report I'm not loving it at the moment - though that could certainly change with repeated listens - at the moment, it sounds like a fairly disposable b-side.
