It'd be funnier, if it wasn't so likely.

So, let all your your young friends in Idaho know about this opportunity, as craig says...
"Interns have the chance to be an essential part of a working congressional office,” said Craig. “They participate in the legislative process as well as ensure that constituent services run smoothly. For those interested in politics, it is an incredible opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at how our government functions while serving the people of Idaho.”
A New Voice for Pakistan reports
(great Obama cabinet candidates)
"NEW DELHI: President Pervez Musharraf displayed “a kind of grace in accepting” the defeat of his allies in elections, US senator and poll monitor John Kerry told reporters on Wednesday.
“We would like to say he kept his promise to hold elections. Imperfect as it was, it produced results... and he showed a kind of grace in accepting what people had said,” Kerry said in New Delhi, a day after...
I read this storyonline at Washington Post.com, and couldn't pass up the chance to post on 2 of my favorite subjects; Web 2 tools and politics.
"Obama's use of technology to connect with voters is "very unique," Garcia added. "We saw glimpses of it with [Democratic candidate] Howard Dean in 2004," he said. "But not to this level. What you get is a perfect matching of philosophy, messaging and technology..."

The New York Times reports....
"Pakistanis dealt a crushing defeat to President Pervez Musharraf in parliamentary elections Monday, in what government and opposition politicians said was a firm rejection of his policies since 2001 and those of his close ally, the United States..."
"...The early edge went to the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party, which seemed to benefit from a strong wave of sympathy in reaction to the assassination of its leader, Benazir Bhutto,...
"Inclement weather forced a halt in Democratic campaigning in Wisconsin on Sunday, but gave Barack Obama a chance to slip away nearly undetected to meet with former rival John Edwards." (link) FOX NEWS
As I've already shared here, I sent by vote-by=mail ballot (which I understand, still may not have been counted.), and I voted for John Edwards as my choice for the Democratic Presidential Candidate. Some of you have shared Edwards was a favorite of yours as well,...
U.S. to Shoot Down Its Own Spy Satellite
Navy Cruiser to Aim Missile at Satellite Before Re-Entry
The Pentagon says it will ask the Navy to shoot down a broken spy satellite that was expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in late February or early March.
In a briefing at the Pentagon, Defense Department officials said they believe about 2,800 pounds of the two-and-a-half-ton satellite could survive and crash, in pieces, on Earth. The satellite, launched in December 2006,...
Bubba’s campaign chief David Wilhelm backs Barack bid
Last night, I was surprised when David Wilhelm stopped by Larry Kin's cable interview show to announce he had changed his mind, and will support Barack Obama's bid for President. In 1992, David Wilhelm ran Bill Clinton's campaign for president. It included a very popular cross-country bus tour by Clinton after winning the nomination. For one year after Clinton's 1992 victory over the elder President...

As a media arts major, I'm always playing with Web 2 applications when I read about them, today I read about an application that will convert large video files into flash. I registered with Moonk, and uploaded a 7 mg video file, Moonk converted it into flash, stored it on their website, and provided me the HTML code to paste it into my blog or website.
Because I'm setting up a Moodle (a Web 2 content management system) campus, *the same system used for online classes at BC, and Cerro...
Over at Scholars and Rogues, they have posted this letter from Dr, Denny:
Feb. 12, 2008
The Honorable Hillary Clinton
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Sen. Clinton,
When I stepped into the voting booth in the New York state primary Feb. 5, I pulled the lever for Sen. Barack Obama, not you, my state’s junior senator. But I had misgivings.
Not any more. Any doubts I had about the wisdom of my choice of Sen. Obama vanished when you chose not to show up on...
