Match.com, with 1.3 million paid members, has purchased OKCupid with 3.5 million members... $50 million... OKC - You sold out to cheap!!! This is the best online dating site on the internet. I am hoping that Match.com maintains the humor and insight here. But I am not optimistic...

WEALTH DISTRIBUTION - Domestically and internationally... Socially (not economically), we are a lottery based society - meaning we have an irrational belief in our ability to join the elite 1%.

I am very dissapointed in Joh McCain. His appointment of Palin was an act of cowardace and expediancy rather than leadership. (My thoughts are more sophistacated than my spelling I'm afraid.) His truly moving life story was repeated to the point of parody. The 9/11 tribute was offensive. The only part that gave me something real was learning about hwo Cindy adopted her children from Mother Teresa's orphanage and...

Randomness about Queen Palin

My half hour vetting process of Sarah Palin reveals...

Palin liked Mitt Romney and thinks Ron Paul is cool, but has a hard time answering a question.

Palin was a member of the Alaskin Independance Party, which calls for Alaska to succeed from the union...

Age of consent in Alaska is 16, so Bristol is Ok. Good thing her boyfriend isn't in Afghanistan, Parts of Australia, Canada, Iraq, Japan, Thailand or Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconson.

So - what does Ms. Palin think about a national age of consent law? And, as the Gov, will she pardon Bristol's boyfriend?

Bristol is following in her mom's high heeled shoes... Sarah gave birth only eight months after getting married in a surprise elopement. Hmmmm....

Q: Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

PALIN: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance

I don't even know what to say to that... I think the only possible response is a long, drawn out pause, followed by a vigorous beating of your head against the wall.


(The pledge was written about 100 years ago, without the phrase "UNDER GOD". It was adopted about 50 years ago, and the phrase "UNDER GOD" added 40 years ago.)

I guess American History isn't really THAT important...

And her name is Sarah Palin.

After spending six months trying to discredit Barack Obama's readiness to be commander in chief, McCain has chosen someone with even less experience. (She was a mayor of Wasila Alaska, which is smaller than Obama's state senate district.)

At work... More to come...

A bold choice! Biden has the experience and, more importantly heart and intellect to be president. I have enjoyed listening to him since his run in 1988. It is a measure of the candidate that he chose someone who will challenge him and work with him as an equal, rather than someone who would appeal to a demographic.

The only other choice in his league would have been Al Gore.

Who is more moral?

A person who beleive in ABSOLUTE morality, i.e., stealing is ALWAYS wrong...

- or -

A person who beleives in SITUATIONAL morality, i.e., there are situations in which stealing is acceptible.

This came up though a discussion of an employment test with questions like, "It is ALWAYS wrong to steal from your boss."

Thought I'd put it that out there before weighing in on it...
