Late in the installation process for Microsoft Windows Vista, the system displays the following message: While observing this, it occurred to me that the word "check" has more than one definition. I think this is the one Microsoft intended: |

I don't like taxes any more than you do - except to the extent they make our nation a better place in which to live. The next time you or someone you know wants to complain about taxes, read this first: http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/robert_reich/2009/04/a-s... |

Karl Rove is the unelected agent responsible for much of the mess our country is currently in. It was his advice and guidance that put W in the White House and led to the countless disasters that constitute W's Presidency.

And his vaunted experience has not stopped him from appearing totally clueless and self-serving during the past few months of the campaign. I'm voting for Obama. |

Dear Cindy, You recently criticized Senator Barack Obama for once voting against funding for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. You said that his "vote to not fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body." Why haven't you criticized your own husband, Senator John McCain, for voting similarly two months before Obama did? |
