- Rick Bender’s article in Sunday’s News Tribune makes several outrageous statements, and arrives at conclusions that show just how out-of-touch the liberal socialist agenda has become. Firstly, he draws a correlation between lawbreakers (deadbeat dads, sex offenders) and companies that don’t pay healthcare for employees. Such blatant manipulation of people’s emotions is old-school propaganda tactics right out of the Soviet handbook. He uses emotionally charged phrases like “shifting costs” and “passing the buck”, “fair share”, and “unlevel playing field” to paint a picture of draconian companies lining their pockets at the expense of “working Americans”. Secondly, Mr. |

- I hope to mail out my annual voter survey next week to all households in House District 25B. (We'll have an online version of it posted here on my website shortly.) The survey will give a brief overview of some issues we will be working on this year in the legislature. It will again include a series of questions for voters to answer and mail back to me. If you are in House District 25B I hope you will complete and return the survey to me. |

- Digital Audio Broadcasts are really starting to take off in Europe, where the smaller average country size means they can use shorter, and thus cheaper radio wavelengths. Or maybe that's a lie and it's because the format offers not only an improved sound quality, but all sorts of really smart, useful features like the new Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) that sends down radio schedules for the next 7 days, letting users program their DAB radios to record programs in the future. If that sounds an awfully convenient and handy, that's because it is—isn't it nice when content providers actually try to work with consumers? At the moment Capital Radio has a complete programming information broadcasting in EPG and the BBC is publishing part of their schedule for particular hours of the day. |

- « Tiens, l autre jour, j ai pris le train avec Alain Souchon. » C est le genre de phrase qui fait son petit effet dans un dîner en ville. Pourtant, je lui ai rien dit, il m a rien dit, je l ai regardé un peu, il a dû me regarder aussi mais je m en suis pas rendu compte. Intérêt de la rencontre : zéro. |

- j'écrit aussi beaucoup de mes pensées sur papier que je n'adresse pas aux autres... Mais admettons, pour une fois, je fais une exeption, donc voici mes pensées du 21/01/05 : On ne le penserait jamais, mais les moments de contrôle écrit sont des moments de calme ou tout le monde se tait, ou tout le monde reste coincé avec sa conscience, enfin presque. Moments ou l'on peut aisément réfléchir sur soi, sur ses actions, sur ses journées... Sur beaucoup de choses qui font l'étonnante originalité de ces moments. |

- PalmOne's CEO Todd Bradley is leaving. Now nobody say sinking ship, okay? I think it's premature to even mention a disinterested customer base and a product line that's two years behind everyone else. And don't even say that the writing graffiti is on the wall that's just cruel. Really, though, the company sales were supposedly pretty good over the holidays. |
