Also, some pics in my Bikes Album on Picasa

EDIT: Rode 33.7 miles today with a moving average of 9.2 mph (that's a little over 3.5 hours of riding). :) FUN! (Seriously)

RE-EDIT: I got an iPhone 3G black today! WOOOOO!

McCain's Adultery

Why doesn't the mainstream media cover THIS side? "Liberal media"? I think not.
McCain adultery story rocks political world — oh wait, no it doesn’t
McCain's broken marriage and fractured Reagan friendship
The wife U.S. Republican John McCain callously left behind
You'd think a conservative base would be up in arms about this, but I suppose they are willing to be complacent in the face of having someone other than another old rich white man.

Obama

After reading an interview with Obama about his ideas on foreign policy and reading his response on why he voted for the FISA changes, I think I will feel good voting for him in November.

FISA

Did you know that Congress has signed away any possible right to privacy we had?
By making the new FISA law, the President and Congress have made it legal for US agencies to spy on our text messages, email, and phone calls to people outside the US, without any cause, reason or warrant. This is so completely Orwellian and dystopian I can't even wrap my mind around how anyone thought this was a good idea.

Help the ACLU overturn FISA by sharing your message of support now.
