standardRSS Roundup 5-22-08

I want to start out today by apologizing for putting this blog on the back burner the past two weeks. I have been really busy getting a large programming job done by this weekend. The good news is that if everything goes well I will have the front end done today and tomorrow everything will be tested. Of course there will be more functionality as always but the core code will be in place. I’m excited.

I know I always say this but todays RSS Roundup is really short. Thanks for putting up with me.

Obama Gets Specific on What Change Is

From FireDogLake Change is

  • a tax code that rewards work instead of wealth
  • a health care plan that guarantees insurance to every American who wants it
  • an energy policy that doesn’t rely on buddying up to the Saudi Royal Family and then begging them for oil
  • giving every child a world-class education
  • ending a war that we never should’ve started

The Little Thats Left

The Video of the Day

 

I have been saying all along with my McCain vs. McCain series that there are two John McCain’s.  I would have thought that the vast differences between beliefs and positions of the two would have made it obvious.  Well, finally the media is starting to wake up to this fact.  Thanks Crooks and Liars

For more on the Two McCain’s revelation:

Thats it for today, told you it was a short one.  Hope you all have a great day and I’ll try to get out a real story later this afternoon.  Depends on how well the coding goes.

Happy hump day everyone. Were half way to a long holiday weekend. After 3 years in corrections when I never had holidays, or even weekends, off I am so looking forward to this summer. Being a month away from finishing up with school I hope to never ever have to do shift work again. Anyhow, [...]

Wow, lots to get to today so I won’t waste your time. I did have this dream about a new design and layout for my blog so don’t be surprised if you see something new very soon. Summer would say that I should make the design and use it for one of the many projects [...]

standardCuban Missle Crisis Not ‘Serious Threat’

This may come as a shock to some of you reading this but I still hold out hope that Republicans and Democrats can find common cause. Sure we may disagree on basically everything but I still try to cling to the belief that right wingers are intelligent and honestly concerned with the best interests of [...]

standardCalifornia Overturns Ban on Gay Marriage

The California State Supreme Court has overturned the states ban on gay marriage.  In a close 4-3 decision the justices decided that “separate but equal” domestic partnerships were not good enough.  I twittered (tweeted?) this but its a big enough story that I wanted to post on it here too.  Do we dare hope that [...]
