Texas Sen. John Carona: “Privatization is fine, as long as it’s regulated.” That’s today’s republican mantra. Gov’t has to stay in the mix.

Most who hate Pres. Bush say he doesn’t speak well. Would Jews today would welcome Moses? Endorse him? Follow him? He couldn’t speak well.

FYI: Quicken 2007 for Mac is a piece of crap. I can’t believe @Intuit would publish such a poorly-executed piece of software. WHY, @intuit?
Mac users, what do you use for personal (or small biz) finance? I’ve heard iBank from IGGsoftware is good. Any other solutions?
I’ll bet Gitmo detainees get pushed 2 other prisons. Obama will close it more 4 symbolism than 4 substance. Look 4 lots more of that.

Quicken2007 (upgraded from 2006) for Mac quits unexpectedly when I try to print a report (for our tax return). Intuit’s support is CRAP.
Just spent 15 min on a phone survey re: politics. DEPRESSING questions about Obama’s “economic stimulus” plan, taxes & social security.
