That's the problem with this country. We are so divided that we can't even accept someone's political perspective and we become 2 year olds and cry an say, "I don't love you anymore, I'm leaving and never want to see you again". Mature? Hardly.
Personally, I'll have a cup of tea with an Obama supporter as much as a McCain supporter, I'll read a blog (a good one at that (GIZ)) even if they lean towards one side I'm not.
At the end of the day, we are all Americans (except ya Canucks, who talk shit, but I wouldn't be caught dead on your pond). Let's stick together (no association with Tmobile whatsoever, so no beef please)

There, the GOP now supports technology. Every issue can be solved the Republican way: a mindless, brainless, thoughtless chant that ignores the issues and gives people that can't make informed decisions something to say while the other side is doing all the work.

Hope! Change! Yes we can!

"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket"

No worries, Gadgets dont run on electricity. They run on hope.

""So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them.""-Obama
Hate to tell you, but that whole story is a straw man:

That might not be a good place to go if you're trying to make comparisons:
McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom.
McCain's second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. "Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula," Timberg wrote, "he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral."
McCain's third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game.
Timberg reported that McCain radioed, "I've got a flameout" and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees.
McCain's fourth aircraft loss occurred July 29, 1967, soon after he was assigned to the USS Forrestal as an A-4 Skyhawk pilot. While seated in the cockpit of his aircraft waiting his turn for takeoff, an accidently fired rocket slammed into McCain's plane. He escaped from the burning aircraft, but the explosions that followed killed 134 sailors, destroyed at least 20 aircraft, and threatened to sink the ship.
McCain's fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain's A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms and a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi.

If you can't wrap your mind around that, I very much wish you good luck at the trade publications.

Expand your mind. Check out things once in a while that are not necessarily in your fields of interest and be willing to hear a point of view contrary to your own. Who knows, you may even find new interests or at the very least be pleasantly surprised by someone else's insight.
And if not well good luck and hopefully your employer fares better than Circuit City in the coming new year...

In allowing itself to be bent to the will of those who want a theocracy run by Christian oil magnates, the GOP has taken positions that have decreased funding across the board for science and engineering.
Opposing stem cell research has sent money and minds overseas. Opposing funding for alternative fuel research wwhile subsidizing oil has put us in the crosshairs of terrorists and crippled entire industries while propping up those that don't need it. It has also done more to hurt the auto industry than help it -- the industry's own reluctance to change was shortsighted and we see how fast they're struggling to change now. Suggesting that creationism deserves equal time or that evolution shouldn't be taught at all shows a disresepct for science in general, which has been borne out in the dwindling funding for all areas of science in the USA. Even research into beneficial drugs and medical procedures has been diminished.
Supporting science and education is to invest in the economy. Even in the short term, the fields suffering could have supplied unskilled jobs in manufacturing and jobs in surrounding communities in retail and food services, etc. who support these businesses.

Whoever wins tomorrow, God help them, they are getting a mess and they will need heavens help to fix it.

I used to like Giz because they were quicker at kicking out stories than Engadget. It's lately become obvious to me that the only reason is because you put out stupid articles like this one at about a 3 to 1 speed over Engadget. They have some integrity apparently. I'll be reading Engadget solely from now on.
