We've heard of government intervention, but this is going too far

Did the Florida Legislature actually just ban what someone thinks they banned?

Happy Birthday Microsoft!
Posted on Apr. 04, 11 | 06:14 PM by David Keating | Topic: Offbeat
Today is Microsoft's 36th birthday. Whatever you think of the company, there's no denying it shows how capitalism can create innovations, wealth and great jobs.
As Network World reported, "It's story is the stuff of American legend and myth (a scrappy startup that turned into an international powerhouse)."
The article also has a nice quiz on the company.

The Club's email inbox ahead of the election has been stuffed to the gills with messages from frustrated liberals. Here's a fun one:

YOUR GROUP ALONG WITH NRA AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAVE NO BUSINESS RUNNING POLITICAL ADS IN PA.,OR ANY WHERE ELSE.
THE PROPER WAY TO REFER TO A SITTING PRESIDENT IS BY TITLE THEN LAST NAME, NOT AS YOU HAVE IN ONE OF YOUR ADS, OF COURSE SOME OF YOUR LEADERS BEING FELONS (ROVE) DO NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT BEING LAWFUL.
I HAVE MADE AWARE MY THOUGHTS TO BOTH MY SENATORS AND THE JUSTICE DEPT.

Two Fun Lessons from the Reid-Angle Debate
Posted on Oct. 15, 10 | 09:55 AM by Michael Connolly | Topic: Offbeat
Lesson #1: Senators Aren’t Good Debaters
Last night’s Nevada Senate debate should really finally put this myth to bed. People – especially people in the media – think that Senators are very polished and experienced debaters. They’re not. Senators don’t debate, at least not on the Senate floor. This is especially the case for senior Senate leaders – 95% of their jobs is done (a) behind closed doors, and (b) with people agree with them.
Harry Reid and other Senators rarely debate. They walk hurriedly onto the floor of the Senate, read – to an empty chamber – a statement written by a staffer, then yield back and hurry off to their next meeting. In the rare case there are two people talking on the floor, they’re usually talking past each other, not to each other.
Counter-intuitive as it seems, a talking head on a cable news show and a random blogger in his parent’s basement actually do much more real debating in a given week than a U.S. Senator.
Lesson #2: The Media Won the Debate for Angle (and Palin, and O’Donnell, and Bush…)
Three more cheers for the mainstream media, who are repeating what is becoming a neat little trick that invariably if inadvertently helps conservative candidates win debates and elections. Call it the Palin Three-Step.
Step One: The MSM identifies a conservative favorite – Bush, Palin, O’Donnell, Angle, all the way back to Reagan – and unfairly portrays them as idiots and ghouls, total freak-shows who have no business even vying for public office. They attack the GOP for indulging such fools, and gleefully look forward to the moron falling on his/her faces.
Step Two: The debate comes around, and lo and behold, people see that the supposed buffoon is actually kind of charming and intelligent and thoughtful, at least as much as the overhyped liberal opponent. The difference between expectations and reality leads most undecided people to take a positive view: “Hey, (s)he’s not that bad after all.”
Step Three: The media gnashes its teeth at the credulousness of the American people, and complains about how those even-genius Republicans are so much better than Democrats at playing the expectations game. Or as I call it, good times.
So when next you’re flipping channels and see liberals blasting away at how laughably incompetent some poor conservative candidate is, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Because seriously, they still don’t.
