In an effort to criticize John McCain&#8217;s economic policies and his apparent unwillingness to support &#8220;buy American&#8221; restrictions including Harley-Davidson motorcycles for the Secret Service, a group of American-made hybrid car owners and Harley riders rolled into downtown Grand Rapids, MI on Tuesday to support Barack Obama. The only stipulation for participation? Hybrids had to [...]]]></description>

In what appears to be a first, the US House of Representatives now has a Congressman who can code&#8230;in assembly. That&#8217;s right, a Congressman with geek skills.

I, for one, am quite pleased with this result.  I have to admit that I was worried about Clinton.  I&#8217;m not going to get into why I don&#8217;t like Clinton &#8230; that&#8217;s for another post.
Aw heck, I will get into it [...]]]></description>
