…comes via Glenn Reynolds from John Nolte:
what exactly would Roman Polanski have to do in order to become a pariah in this town … I mean, besides vote for Sarah Palin?
Truer word were never spoken.
This is one battle the elites REALLY don’t want to fight.
Update: Talk about an odd View
My review of Big Finish Doctor Who audio #60 Medicinal Purposes starting Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor and David Tennant as Daft Jamie is available at Amazon.com here.
Tennant appeared in several Big Finish products notably the Unit Mini series, this is one of two episodes in the primary range where he appeared in supporting roles (the other being #25 Colditz with the 7th doctor.) Now that his run on the show is done perhaps we will see him back again.
As always this product (and all the Dr. Who Audios) is also available from Mike’s Comics.
To come in 11th in an 11 man field in a primary when the top 10 advance:
City Council President Stephan Hay garnered the most votes in Tuesday’s preliminary election while Pacific Street resident and perennial candidate Ronald Dionne lost the chance for his name to appear on November’s ballot, according to unofficial results announced Tuesday night.
How bad was it? This bad:
Only 173 residents cast a vote for Dionne, less than 3 percent of the total vote.
Overall, 6,093 residents voted on Tuesday, according to unofficial election records.
And the title of the story?
Dionne loses preliminary
That’s gotta smart.
Hey that was a fine use of the $25,000 that election cost, it’s not like we need the money to get streetlights on or something.
Then again there are some who think streetlights are no big deal. After who ever heard of a city paying for streetlights? If we conservatives don’t like it we should pay for it ourselves!
Steve Calvi of Zolex PC has some sensible advice:
The Average Home User doesn’t need to have the latest technological advancements. They want their computer to work with as minimal problems as possible. To be easy to use and comfortable while using it. Jumping up to Windows 7 if you are happy with Vista is not worth it.
Unless you are one of those people that must have the newest toy on the market, I would advise against upgrading your Vista machine to Windows 7 at this time. Six months from now once Windows 7 has been through plenty of testing from consumers etc, we may reach a different conclusion.If you want to upgrade to Windows 7 and you have Windows XP, time to buy a new PC. If you want to upgrade to Windows 7 and you have Windows Vista, you may do so but it is not advised at this time. Sit back and let others experience the issues/problems that will happen with a new operating system. Why experience the Growing Pains if you don’t have too? Save your money for now.
I would go even so far as to say if you only use your machine for mundane stuff you might even consider picking up one of those vista (shudder) machines that will be selling for a song over the next 30 days.
Your PC only needs to be as strong as how you use it.
As for upgrades, there is always the risk of tanking a machine, I’d go for a new machine with Windows 7 before upgrading myself.
BTW although of course I recommend a certain politically minded blogger of Sicilian decent as your first choice for tech support; I do however know the Zolex guys and can heartily endorse them as a source of pc support.
