This is awesome. From USA Today:

BOSTON (AP) — Republicans think they’ve found the ideal person to explain in detail the Democratic presidential candidate’s evolving position on the war in Iraq — John Kerry himself.

Using video clips of Kerry discussing Iraq on various talk shows, the Republican National Committee has put together an 11-minute video that traces how Kerry struggled with the issue of Iraq through 2003 and early 2004 as he competed for — and finally won — the Democratic presidential nomination.

If you’ve got the bandwidth, you’ve got to watch this. If there was any doubt that this guy was a waffler, this will dispel that. Amazing. Once again, there’s no compelling reasons by the left to vote for their guy, only against President Bush. This could well be the most important election of my lifetime.

This site is cool. It’s a collection of transportation ideas from the past that didn’t quite come to be. From the overview:

This exhibit examines some of the efforts to address transportation needs in ways that didn’t quite get off the ground literally or figuratively. Are the designers simply ahead of their time? Are the failures attributable to an infrastructure that never anticipated such a development? Was there ultimately no way to make the new idea work financially?

If you’ve got a half hour or so, surf thru the past’s “future” and live the nostalgia!

Things have been really hoppin’. Too much to allow blogging time.

Cynthia and I took a short trip to Vegas, stayed at the Luxor, saw Blue Man Group, had a blast, but had to come back.

Work is busy. So much so, that I haven’t even had the time to put together a decent website for the new business. Got to get that done. Several projects (happily paying ones) have been keeping my attention.

And yet, the world marches on. Plenty of dumb things happening in the political landscape: Fahrenheit 911 is getting plenty of press, but people seem to be wising up to all the fallacies and deceits of this mockumentary. John Kerry picks a “safe” VP running mate that won’t help him at all. A story leaks today that Homeland Security is investigating the possibility of postponing the election in the event of a terrorist act; something that won’t happen (the postponing, that is). It would be just about the stupidest thing ever to do, giving in to the terrorist threat. Ah, to have more time to comment.

Apple previews Tiger, steps all over a successful developer, introduces marvelous new displays (including a 30″ monster), and sells the 100 millionth song on the iTMS. If they’d only hurry up and release Motion…

O, and it’s hot. But that’s not news, that’s normal for Texas in July.
