Geotagged Photos

Finally, technology that lets you make an electronic travelogue.
I have recently been going through my Flickr photos and assigning latitude and longitude coordinates to them. This way they can be placed onto an interactive map.

As Dana Carvey's Bush Sr. said

"If you wanrt to get elected, you gotta be on the right for your base, but for the public you gotta do that middle dance"...

So, if you haven't heard,

McCain faults administration on Iraq

Gee, that McCain, he's such a maverick, criticizing the president like that...


So here's the question, McCain, why didn't you say something back in 2004?!?!?

Hmm... let's fire up the wayback machine to the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City...

[an excerpt from McCain's Speech]
"I believe as strongly today as ever, the mission was necessary, achievable and noble.

For his determination to undertake it and for his unflagging resolve to see it through to a just end, President Bush deserves not only our support, but our admiration."

So much for the "straight talk"...

Face it, McCain is no maverick, and this action is no where near "straight talk". McCain is a GOP shill looking to twist his words into the Whitehouse in 2008. And to do so, he's distancing himself from an unpopular president that he endorsed for reelection in 2004, criticizing an unpopular war that he once supported, and kowtowing to the religious right that can make or break his support in the Republican party, just look at his "evolving" view on intelligent design...

...careful John, don't pull away too far from their agenda, they may drop their support. Read his transcript statements in the interview on NPR with Tom Ashbrook. I listened to this show last year, and McCain was basically spouting that ID should be taught in school under the guise of "all points of view". It was as if he was towing the party line but didn't believe a lick of it... SHILL!


straight talk... more like
bullshit.

Is it Southpaw or $outhpaw?

How about that... a new scientific study says us southpaws make more money
than right-handers.


So, when is this going to help me out? According to this study, I'm supposed to be getting paid 26% more than rightys, but I'm just not seeing it (yet)...

Who knows....

Eye Candy for Political Junkies

I just found this nifty resource over at the New York Times. It's an interactive map for the 2006 midterm/gubernatorial elections. You can pick, senate, house, or governor, and it indicates who is running in each race, recent poll numbers, a color-coded interactive map breaking down past election trends, tossups, you can make your own predictions... and waste away several hours in the process..

See for yourself:
