Oh, by the way....

This is also pretty slick...

Make that super-wicked cool!

And there you are.....

Out some place sans a microwave but wanting a tasty snack.......

All you need is a cell phone and some popping corn. I'm sure this has been done often, but it's the first time I've seen it. Pretty slick!

I was ever-so-slightly perturbed yesterday afternoon...

Someone I know received an e-mail from a service professional (using their work e-mail addy) about some "fraudulent internet campaign funding" of a certain Democratic Presidential nominee. I won't even include the text here because I don't want to propagate crap. The e-mail cites an article by a New York Times reporter that SHE DID NOT WRITE. In other words, absolute lies are being spread. A simple search of the reporter's work for the suspect article turns up ZILCH.

I want one thing to be crystal clear right here and now...

I DO NOT support Obama. I DO SUPPORT Bob Barr. However, false information will not be the basis of my opposition for the Democrats (or the Republicans) and I hope that it won't be yours.

From a slightly psychological/sociological standpoint, I realize that the folks who believe junk e-mails like this and continue to forward them have likely already made up their minds. In other words, many of these e-mails will be "preaching to the choir". However, there are undecided folks out there.

Snopes.com perhaps? http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/donations.asp
