Didn't take long

Well, I am already eating my words. Howard Dean sent out a DNC poll asking who people would vote for as a presidential nominee in 2008 and didn't even put his name on it. It looks like Clinton. I am happy on the one hand, because it is time for a change, but I am also apprehensive. I do not want to see kerry or edwards back (no, my shift key is not broken). If they are on the ticket I will vote 3rd party, if only because even nominating them would show such a high level of incompetence on behalf of the party that I don't think I could vote for a democrat with a good conscience. It kind of makes me think that we didn't really deserve to win last time. I was as upset as anyone about W. winning again, but aren't we democrats the ones to blame? we saw where the hot spots were going to be, and we didn't do enough in Missouri and Ohio. I know my mom would foam at the mouth if I didn't mention that there are serious claims of voter fraud in Ohio, but it shouldn't have even come to that. Anyway, I also wanted to announce that there is going to be a little change of direction here. About half of the stuff I write in here is about my life or current events, and then the other half is just Ideas and misc. internet stuff. I just finished reading a book that was made by compiling the word prossessing documents on Douglas Adams' Mac, and it made me think. Maybe more of us should leave a record of our good ideas or musings. A lot of good ideas come from normal people. We just need to make sure they get recorded and shared. So, that said, I am going to be writing my ideas here (hopefully about one a day) until I get back to the States and have a computer of my own.
