    Obama on election night photos - 56K go home!

    I just wonder what was going through his mind. I mean imagine if that were you face on the screen with "elected President of the United States!" Talk about a mindblower.

    For the first time, I am glad to be a union member.

    Aside from nonetary benefits, another great thing unions continue to do today is to help make the workplace safer. Management has no incentive to protect workers, even in the face of bad press. Government regulations are meticulously avoided by many employers. Why else is OSHA so feared and...

    Of chainsaws and carnage: Ars reviews Gears of War 2

    Does the engine still have texture pop-in? A minor concern, but EVERY UE3 engine game seems to have it and I was just curious if the flagship title still does.

    Operation Enduring Freedom Discussion (Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Horn of Africa)

    Guantanamo prosecutor quits<BR><BR>http://www.salon.com/news/feat...008/10/23/vandeveld/<BR><BR>Yes, Salon is to the left what the National Review is to the right, but it is an interesting read nonetheless. It shows how a lack of transparency can allow idealogues to manipulate the system unchecked.

    What are the things you don't like about Obama?

    I can see how another stimulus package might be seen as pandering, but if it helps a family make one more mortgage payment before Obama can institute a temporary across the board freeze on forclosures, that would be worth it in my opinion.

    What are the things you don't like about Obama?

    To me, McCain exemplifies the past. By the actions of his campaign and the mannerisms and speech of the man himself I see someone who is utterly perplexed that he is losing. He played the political game for so many years while trying to hold on to a shred of integrity, and then when he lucked...

    What work would you do for free?

    I would pencil and ink for Blath's comics company. I'm a journeyman artist who loves to do comics but can't write worth a damn. Seems like a good fit! My wife would have her foundation, we would have four or five houses in various countries, one of which would be a repurposed missile silo, and I...

    Brothers In Arms - Hell's Highway

    I'm really enjoying it, although Gearbox did shoot themselves in the foot by including the lone wolf missions. I guess they thought the player needed a break from all of that squad management. When the game is good, it is very good. Otherwise it is a generic WWII shooter.<BR><BR>It is checkpoint...

    The Death Tax: Why is death a taxable event?

    Isn't the answr a living trust or something like it? I'm pretty sure there are several vehicles to avoid the estate tax. Sure you are not going to get out of all taxes but there are ways to minimize them.

    Which gaming platforms do you own?

    As well as PC, Wii, 360 and PS3 I also have a PSP and a DS. Some middle aged guys do cars, I do video games. It's a weird feeling to walk through Best Buy and think "Y'know, I'm good. I'm caught up on all the games and hardware I want. Cool!"<BR><BR>Of course that doesn't include the old stuff...
