Maybe we can put a prison at the end of this dirtbag’s bridge to nowhere. Just divert some of the work crews from the planned ANWR rigs. He can spend his time reading about how the intertubes work…

Remember Mitt Romney’s gaff on the campaign trail? Sorry – let me narrow that down for you…
Do you remember when Mitt replied to a reporter’s question on why none of his five sons were in the military service of their country? He said that they were doing their patronizing patriotic duty of helping their country by serving his campaign for the presidency.
Let’s chalk up the political idiocy of that statement to too-tight magic underpants. But it begs the question…
Romney’s campaign is done. According to General Petraeus, troop withdrawls are to be frozen. Our military is, even now by its own admission, strained under the load of fighting two wars. Why can’t they serve now?

Hung out with a bunch of folks this weekend, iPods orbiting through speaker cradles and cars.
It’s clear. A curated playlist is far superior to a straight shuffle. Playlists express the DJ’s ideas on how the works interact. Shuffle offers surprise, but nearly always jars the listener with out of place tracks.
Sure shuffle has its place. It’s fun to see what it might find next, play guess that song on long trips, but too often it flails across genre, media type (podcasts?), etc.
