Dont vote - hire a lobbiest

I'm not big on voting. There are too many morons out there for my vote to count - thats the nature of the bell curve. Not a very democratic position - but this isnt a democracy. Its a Capitalist Republic. The very nature of which is that you vote (or hire) someone who excels at that role to represent you. If you look at the spending involved in the last legislative session in Wa, you will see that it wasnt voters who were involved it was interest groups of voters. Or rather people who who paid to promote a certain opinion to legislators. What interesting to me is the cost of their efforts. While they didnt all get what they wanted at least their issues got discussed. At an average cost of $500k.

If getting the legislature to discuses foster care only costs ~$500k I say lets do it. At one sixth the cost of my parents "golden calf" apartment, the potential life saved comes super cheap.

Users of wireless internet are dumb

Google knows it and was caught datamining home networks. 

Our boys overseas

 Via Wired, some wonderful images of your taxpayer dollars at work. These are the private contractors being paid exceptionally more than "the troops" and living it up it appears. And when we "bring the troops home" these are the guys we are going to continue to be paying millions of dollars to for many many years to come. And this is why the world hates America. Our decadent culture and irresponsible populace allows this to go on every day.

Vincent "My Cousin Vinnie" Lecavalier (the kitten)

Vinnie is a 4 month old platinum point Tonkinese or "Tonk" who was named by my mother after the movie and the Tampa Bay hockey player respectively. I've had him for a bit now and figured it was time for an introduction.
