I have to remind everyone as we get stuck talking about superstars, that the real elections that count are legislative and local. The prez is sexy, but the country is run on laws which both percolate from below and are written by people who largely percolate from below. It's a waste to blow this political wad on one person and one of the three branches of government. Your votes count far more in the local legislative, and where applicable the judicial elections.

Please turn in your REP or DEM card and be independent. Have views, and vote with those views. Base the views and your votes on DATA rather than speeches and personalities.

I just read a book "Managing up," which I really don't recommend. It's by the secretary of the CEO of GE, and how she worked with him. The biggest problem I have with this book is the sunuvabitch used the holy hell out of this woman and gave her nothing back. Sure, she got to engage in hero worship and ride in the wake of a powerful man - but what did she get? She served the company for decades working insane hours, for what pay? With what profits from options? She retired as a secretary, still. She had no family. She sacrificed everything and only to be a lifetime servant. A real leader would have developed her, and most importantly taught her independence from him.

Pr0n WARNING! You might be in it!
Wow, turns out if you use photobucket there is a method of pulling your "private" photos and videos. TONS of private fleshy pictures, videos, videos, videos, videos only shown to trusted friends, videos to your lover, videos only seen by yourself, videos in which you farted at the end so you didn't even send it, videos videos videos --- are all over the internet and you may not even know. So, even if you can trust the person you sent it to or you didn't, but trust yourself, you cannot trust the website to keep your private videos private.
