The 2000 electin all over again?

Lacking strong credentials in foreign policy and defense, the presidential candidate has picked a senior Senator as a running mate who is recognized on both sides of the aisle as being strong in these areas and keen on protecting America's interests. The VP pick comes from a sparesely populated state, quite the opposite of the presidental candidate's own home state. The VP pick will appeal well to the more moderate base of the party. Plus, he's older, a nice counterbalance to the youth and inexperience at the top of the ticket.

Yes, friends, this is change we can believe in, a new way of doing things, a real change from the old guard.

Sadness

Maybe I shouldn't have complained about the carbon-hating SimCity Societies game. I indeed received it for Christmas, and after about half an hour of waiting for it to install, and then more time to receive an update for it, I got a non-apologetic grey pop-up telling me my graphics card was too old and sorry to trifle with.

*sigh* At least my new iPod works. I'll take solace in its sleek brushed silver design.
