This week was important and exciting for the USA: Barry finally clinched the nomination. I couldn’t be more pleased with the choices for POTUS this year, especially when you consider who else was running 6 months (or even a week) ago.
I will continue to support Barry for a variety of reasons which I may touch upon here and there during the general election season. The first reason is a distinct difference between the candidates that several of my colleagues will appreciate: barackobama.com utilizes standards-based markup with near-valid xhtml and CSS positioning. Naturally, johnmccain.com uses the – ahem – old practice of table-based layouts with little thought to accessibility and web standards.
A brilliant short film about the history of war from World War II through today. The irony really hits home when you think about the industrial complex dedicated to the production of burgers, fries and chicken nuggets — food that really isn’t good for us.
I have to say that I concur on characterizing last night’s presidential debate as a “study in douchebaggery” on the part of ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson. Not that I expected anything less from Gibson. I often remember reading about him in an article – Charlie the Conqueror – published in the issue of New York I bought the week I moved to New York.

I heard about some shadiness going on in the Loisaida polling station. Something about “broken voting machines“.

I like a candidate who micro-manages the music at their events.
