10/29   What time is Obama's TV infomercial tonight in the Bay Area?  Thx.
        \_ Out of curiosity, are you undecided?  How fun is it to watch
           Obama recite the same stuff he's been reciting for what feels
           like an eternity at this point?
           \_ I'm undecided between voting for Obama and not voting for either.

8/22    I find Biden uninspiring
        \_ Biden was my first choice for President. I voted for Hilary in
           the primary. The Biden choice makes me likely to vote for
           Obama, even though I voted for McCain in the  2000 primary.
           So it got him at least one vote.

5/28    Former White House press sect comes out with book bashing

        I read the newspaper and that The Onion should give up, since
        their writers will never be able to keep up with the tragic

3/28    Political debates on NPR are worthless.  They really need a ref with
        fact verification powers or something.  I was listening to one this
        morning talking about the Cow Palace, and the debators couldn't even
        agree on basic facts, like if the Cow Palace operates in the black or
        not. It's impossible to draw any kind of conclusions from two lists
        of completely contradictory "facts."

8/6     Why should offshore drilling be a federal issue? Why not just let the

8/4     The Governator wants to increase the sales tax, thanks Republicans,
        can we impeach this guy now? Why doesn't he just raise the VLA,

        http://preview.tinyurl.com/6gespy

7/18    California state government spent $145 billion last fiscal year, $41
        billion more than four years ago when Gov. Gray Davis got recalled by
        voters.  With all that new spending -- a whopping 40% increase -- we
        ought to be in a golden age of government with abundant public services
        for all.
