Rewatching the Presidential debate, yes the American one, and I have been thinking McCain really needs to drop this whole Maverick frame of thought. Honestly saying your own party nearly dislikes you as much as "that one's" party is no a strong presidential standpoint. What power do you hold f you can't get people to support and agree with you? This was never more evident than in the shooting down of the bailout plan when McCain promised to ensure it passed. Not only did it fail but in the 22 hrs it took him to actually get to Washington (great urgency there!) McCain failed to get a single member of his own state's delegation to vote for the bill. Guess being a Maverick is usefull ...eh?
*sorry for being lazy with the linkage will try and come back to this and sourcing some better articles showing this.
Shockingly enough women aren't the ignorant little sheep that fall so easily for cheap pops. This is no slight or anything against Sarah Palin but boy did McCain misunderestimate the intelligence of women, the initial view to Palin pre her speech.
p.s - Romney has just been on stage and boy would I have voted for him, probably no.2 after Hillary if I consider all the candadites from the primaries.
Man, Ramsey is digging himself a bloody trench on the Grahma Norton show. First he insults French fannys and then graham norton and "his friends". Brilliant stuff.
I'm still fecking glowing with the Wings win. I haven't written anything about it yet mainly because there is a certain amount of disbelief still going on, but here enjoy this video for the time been.
On the night before an important interview your mind is more taken up with explain to Mario Lemiuex that the Sid the Kid and Malkin are nice young players but the Eastern Conference is shit and until this is fixed the stanley cup finals will be really the Western Conference finals.
Sigh! I wish I was in Detroit at this point. Now to figure out how to make beard look respectable without shaving the whole thing off.
Best line: "when girls say they are going to powder their nose it is a euphemism for going to the loo. When Kate Moss says she is going to the toilet it is a euphemism for going to powder her nose"
So this is what my Saturday is looking like - 1700 - Heiniken Cup Final 2000 - Eurovision (p.s- sebastien Tellier is the French entry, awesome!) 0000 - Game 1 of Detroit schooling Crosby and Malkin.
Got some time to burn on a Monday morning? Well here you go here is the Gold Medal game from this years World Championship between Canada & Russia. enjoy.
It is funny how we are all bitching about China but from what I can see the Chinnese government seem to be responding to a natural disaster in a far better and speedy manner than a certain Western power.
So I need to remove Vista from a new Dell Inspiron Laptop and install some version of XP. Anyone havea guide or no of any issues that I may face in doing this?
Meanwhile I got GTAIV today and after burn a couple of hours on it I can say I'm impressed but not wow'd. Graphics strong, story interesting, interaction super cool, gameplay poor (it often feels sluggish and driving and moving along with combat can be unwieldly). Will play some more and see if this is just learning curve and trying to expect a proper 1st person shooter like Resistance and a car racer like Burnout all in the same game.
