This is one of the coolest technical talks I have ever seen. This might revolutionize the way both the web works and how we interact with computers. I think this is more important than the table-top computer Gates unveiled this week. It's about a seven minute clip, but worth the time ...

Time Magazine tells the nation about the John Edwards everyone in North Carolina already knew:

"Kerry talked with several potential picks, including Gephardt and Edwards. He was comfortable after his conversations with Gephardt, but even queasier about Edwards after they met. Edwards had told Kerry he was going to share a story with him that he'd never told anyone else—that after his son Wade had been killed, he climbed onto the slab at the funeral home, laid there and hugged his body, and promised that he'd do all he could to make life better for people, to live up to Wade's ideals of service. Kerry was stunned, not moved, because, as he told me later, Edwards had recounted the same exact story to him, almost in the exact same words, a year or two before—and with the same preface, that he'd never shared the memory with anyone else."

Captain Coward, John Murtha, shows just how quickly the Dems have re-acquired their own penchant for corruption and cronyism.

He is accused of saying: “I hope you don’t have any earmarks in the defense appropriations bills because they are gone, and you will not get any earmarks now and forever.”

"'It's pretty clear that Fred is going to be leaving the cast of the show no matter what,' Reilly said at a news conference on NBC's fall schedule."

I wonder what Target did if Wal-Mart fell 3.5%?

"Case in point: The average Wal-Mart customer spends 21 minutes in the store per visit, but that customer finds only seven of the 10 items on his or her list, according to Chief Marketing Officer Stephen Quinn. The key to Wal-Mart's sales growth is making it easier for the customer to find that eighth and ninth item. 'Making [the customer] productive in those 21 minutes is critically important,' Mr. Quinn told the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce on April 4.

It isn't working for Julia Russ, though. The 42-year-old federal contract administrator in Grand Prairie, Texas, visited a Wal-Mart in her city four times last month for groceries, pet supplies, toiletries and paper goods. But she often finds the store crowded and hectic. 'The wait at checkout is getting longer all the time,' Ms. Russ said. 'I may lose patience and pay the difference for my time' to go elsewhere."

Speaker Pelosi told a group of liberal bloggers that she would sue the President over signing statements and his veto. In response, I found the article below.

"In short, under existing jurisprudence in the D.C. Circuit, I don't think legislators would have standing in the scenario outlined earlier. But I think a larger point is in order. It seems to me that law suits by members of Congress against the President or other members of the Executive Branch where those members of Congress claim an institutional injury are precisely the kinds of disputes that courts should not handle. In other words, I don't think legislators should ever have standing to sue for claims of institutional injury."

"Lucas tells me he will make two more live-action films based in the 'Star Wars' era.

'But they won't have members of the Skywalker family as characters,' he said. 'They will be other people of that milieu.'

The two extra films will also be made for TV and probably be an hour long each. But, like 'Clone Wars,' Lucas doesn't know where on TV they will land. Hello, HBO and Showtime. It may be time to pony up."

"[T]he people who've ponied up $4,600 for Obama in this election cycle might as well have piled the money on the kitchen table and set fire to it."

This is the best argument I have heard to date for serious immigration reform and border control.

"The Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia has taken root in South America, fostering a well-financed force of Islamist radicals boiling with hatred for the United States and ready to die to prove it, according to militia members, U.S. officials and police agencies across the continent."

Imus is suiing CBS for $40 million because his contract has some pretty awesome language in it about how irreverent he should be.

This is too good to be true!

... and loses a vote in the process.

But, MySpace deletes all of the contacts! Ha!

HRC loves American Idol. BHO watches nothing but C-SPAN. Mr. $400 only watches UNC-CH play basketball on TV.

America's past-time is alive and well with the GOP. McCain and Rudy both said baseball is their favorite TV Show.

Looks like HRC might be the populist - at least in terms of TV Shows. Of course, Mr. $400 is in tune with all of the high school drop outs in the state of North Carolina with his choice!
