OPEC

So the greedy sand people of OPEC decided to cut production because they want $100/bbl oil. Sadly, their production cut of 1.5M bbl/day actually led to a FALL in oil prices! Awesome.

Comments about the upcoming election

You should ONLY back someone you believe in and agree with. Not partially agree with, not think can win, not wouldn't it be cool, but someone you actually agree with. Don't get force fed candidates by the media, instead look around. Read. Kick over a few rocks, and find someone that you could actually sit back and say "this person will do a great job". Remember both the Rep and Dem party are responsible for the mess the country is in now. It couldn't have happened without shared responsibility. And as election time nears, they all point fingers and they all cast blame...but none say "hey, ya know what? Government was the problem and thus, I was the problem". Government, both Dems and Reps stopped working for the "people" a long time ago. They will continue to attempt to mandate via tax code and legislation, what is good for you in their eyes and with their agenda in the forefront.

November 5th can't get here fast enough

The day after the election, thank God. Then CNN can shut up.

iChat

iChat on the Mac is one of the best IM tools I've used. It takes what was good about GMail chat and customizes it for the Mac. Great IMO, though I know there are some out there who don't think so :)

NFL is Funny

When they screw up… Jones: Strippers are riddled with bullets Hochuli: Teams lose games Advantage: Push -- both are tragic in their own right Striped shirts: Jones: His future Hochuli: His present Advantage: Hochuli Recently sucker-punched… Jones: His own bodyguard at a urinal Hochuli: Charger fans looking for a win Advantage: Push Knights in shining denial: Jones: Jerry Jones Hochuli: Young refs who get into the game thinking they'll be chick magnets Advantage: Push Call from Roger Goodell can only mean… Jones: Another flight to New York, another suspension, another six-figure bill at Scores. Hochuli: A pep talk, via an impersonal conference call, then a long night getting lost in the soothing magic of the elliptical machine. Advantage: Push It takes four men to… Jones: Bodyguard him 24/7 Hochuli: Squeeze him into his clothes Advantage: Push Making it rain: Jones: Scattering cash in the air over a stripper's head Hochuli: The way the sky...

Had to put our dog down

Our dog of 7 years was put down yesterday, she had cancer...very very sad.

Stimulus package = redistribution of wealth

All this stimulus package garbage in the US is non-sense. All it is is redistribution of wealth as dictated by the government. Taking money from those who do well to aid those who don't. The problem is, this simply is not part of the capitalistic system. If the US wishes to be socialist, fine, then organize energy supplies and limit fuel costs per government constraint. Also, socialize medicine and the infrastructure of the country. You can't simply limit it to getting votes or bailing out banks.
