Why Democrats Love the Pickens Plan @ 20-07-2008 22:50
When anyone invests $300 million dollars into promoting alternative energy sources, the Democrats usually take notice.

Google's Android Losing It’s Mojo Fast @ 20-07-2008 18:30
Android started off being a great idea, from a great company, with lots of support from carriers and manufacturers, and an awesome $10million contest to get developers drooling. With some stiff competition from Apple, and loss of developer morale, I’m afraid of what the future might hold for this platform.

When Politicians Commit Crimes, They Must be Punished @ 20-07-2008 14:30
The idea that the Rule of Law is only for common people, but not for our political leaders and Washington elite, is pervasive in both parties. While common Americans should be imprisoned when they break the law, the worst that should happen to the political elite when they commit crimes is that they should be voted out of office.
