Cut new white house some slack
Really wish people would cut the new white house and Obama administration son slack on tech issues. Seriously. Have you ever moved a few thousand people into new offices

Letter to the NYT re Nepotism and Politics
To The Editor:
Mary Jo Murphy (Welcome to the Family Business? Week In Review 12/21/2008) misses the point about nepotism when comparing Carolyn Kennedy and other politicians following in their family’s footsteps with artists and skilled trades people who do the same. Politics is not business, and it is is not the same as art. Politicians serve the public and should earn our trust and our vote through their stances on issues, experience and accomplishments, not through their blood or marital relations to others who have been elected. Far too often, candidates with “famous” last names benefit from an unfair advantage against equally — and perhaps often more qualified candidates. The media has a responsibility to hold them to the same standard as every other candidate for public office.

Great new “Real McCain” video from Brave New Films.
This is amazing, some McCain flack suggests that as governor for 20 months, Sarah Palin has made “command” decisions about the national guard giving her international and military experience that is more significant than Obama and Biden’s experience on the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Way to go Cambel Brown for taking Tucker Bounds to the matt on this absurd notion.
This is a great ad, other than the content, the innovation is the “i approved this message” at the beginning instead of the end leaving the viewer with the final message of the ad.
