Thank goodness for other candidates

I’m about done hearing about how Hillary Clinton is thinking of running for president in 2008 (no shit, ya think?). Thankfully, other people that most certainly don’t make me be aghast at being an American might have their hands in the fray as well, and that’s awesome. Because I’ve got to tell ya – if the Democratic Party were to nominate Hillary Clinton and *honestly* believe that she was a) the best choice for this country and b) actually capable of beating anyone from the Republican side that wasn’t an axe-murderer, then I think we need to all stop and think about things a little bit.

Additionally, a Clinton being put forth would leave me no choice but to set in motion the wheels to allow us as Americans to no longer have to take the “least of the worst” route when voting, and allow for “anti-votes,” that would take votes away from a candidate, rather than actually voting for the other one, just to serve them right.

I have Lego ice cube trays and you don’t!

A few days ago, David pinged me to let me know about the Lego ice cube tray. Of course, I had to have them.

Blogging and being cited

Well, I guess we can throw out the fact that journalists aren’t reading blogs and using them as examples or places to get information – including quotes – from. Back on September 26, I had written this item over at AdJab about how Catherine Zeta-Jones was going to be dropped from T-Mobile advertising in the near term, and that her contract would not be renewed.

Well, this week I was going through the few “vanity” Google News RSS feeds I have for myself, and caught the fact that this article in the UK’s Sunday Times had cited both myself and Chris Thilk, who had made an obnoxious statement about CZJ’s participation in T-Mobile’s ads. As if across the pond wasn’t far enough, The Australian picked up the article on Monday.

Have your people call my people

Now that’s what I’m talking about. From this morning’s email…
