So last night “Put Country First” John McCain and Republican firends completely broke down negoations for the bail out of Wall Street. My prediction: Get ready for a black friday like none other on Wall Street!
What kind of leadership is McCain trying to pander to the US people?
I am so sick and tired of Sarah Palin. This person is anything but a Maverick. She reminds me of the hard core conservatives of old. On all of her viewpoints she has a very right wing point of view. She has not shown a history of reaching across the isle.
Here is awesome ultrasound of the soon to be member of the Dayton Family:
This post will have an updated array of pictures from my trip to Vegas.
Virtually every Sunday for 10 years I have woke up on Sunday mornings, tuned in to NBC, and enjoyed an hour of political discussion. Part of it was a love for politics itself, but another part was seeing what Tim Russert would ask. I am going to miss having him host Meet the Press.
Here is the latest:
— We are expecting a Baby in January, I’m very excited — Sister Just had a baby Boy — Happy about Obama Clincing the nomination — Excited for new iPhone
One strange thing has happened recently. I have been in e-mail contact with my a direct biological ancestor– my father. The last time I saw my dad was when I was three or four. For virtually all of my life I have barely paid any attention to the fact that I had a father that was alive. There was no actual contact between my father and any member of my family for nearly 15 years. He did call my mom a couple times a few years before she died, but these were rare conversations of little substance and I took little interest. I essentially didn’t have a dad, and I really didn’t care.
A couple months ago he called my sister, probably thinking he was going to get in touch with my mother. I called him back and began a dialog. He did not know that my mother passed away in 2004. We have been in contact since.
I hate to sound bitter, because I genuinely am not bitter, but I don’t really feel a longing for my dad. He was not a part of my life, and I don’t feel like my life suffered because of it. I have had the best life anyone could hope for. Now, at a very young age, I fell blessed with most things that anyone would want in life. I have a loving wife, and a beautiful daughter, and we live in general happiness. Life is not perfect, but it is pretty darn good.
Communicating with my father is interesting, but I don’t feel any deep emotions associated with it. It is strange to think however, that there is a whole life lived which has a connection to mine that I know very little about.
So I am playing with a test environment of Windows 2008 Server / Exchange / Sharepoint. After obtaining all the media, I find that there are a million dependencies. The time it takes to install a functional system, meeting all necessary requirements, is insane. Why can’t we have Microsoft provide a package manager similar to YUM or APT that could just get things done?
I just ordered internet from Spanish Fork City. Unfortunately they do not use Fibre (as I was lead to believe by hearsay and rumor) but a cable infrastructure, essentially the same as comcast. I am going to give this a try to see if it is better than the overpriced Comcast. Wish me luck.
In an almost unprecedented two posts in a row I am congratulating political actions in Utah. Governor Huntsman appeared in an ad with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Montana’s Governor discussing the need for action on Climate change. This is good stuff.
Last Saturday evening my sweet little Starla fractured her right femur. I really feel sorry for her, she is at an age where mobility is everything. Now she has this massive cast on that forbids her to move around. Here is a scan of her X-Ray:
