Ramblings from the Fringe

Well it took all of what 3 days into the new year for the "Britney" news to push aside an upcoming presidential election into the background? And you have to ask yourself.. in a mentally critical situation, would one of the people you confide in, expecting to keep your conversations confidential be Dr Phil? I don't think he got out of the revolving doors before he started spilling the beans.

Speaking of politics, seems Hillary has decided to show a bit of her true personality in New Hampshire after coming in third in Iowa. Seems the "working on likability" aspect she was so strong on in Iowa is out the window, with pointed attacks on Obama, Edwards, and just about anyone else. Guess you can only take the high ground when you are perceived to be in front :)

On the Economic front, it appears president Bush is trying to figure out a "stimulus" package to be delivered to the masses by the state of the union message towards the end of the month. Here is a question, if the economy is strong, as the president keeps saying, why do we need a stimulus package?

I looked in the mail and didn't receive my invitation to the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. Guess I'm not what they consider an important enough "technology blogger" :) I can't fathom why they aren't opening the show to the public.

I've had to slow down the number of posts I make to the blog by the way. Apparently if you post too frequently (which appears to be around 3 or more a day), the fine folks at Google spam blog monitoring flags you as a spam blogger, and locks your editing ability until a "real" person looks at the blog to verify it as non spam.

Here is a needed invention idea. When you have four dogs, and 2 weeks of snow covering the ground, you need a machine or do hicky that will locate and clean up the undesired remnants of having four dogs doing what they do do.
