    Fixing the election process.

    As I've mentioned on here before, I'm no fan of the Electoral College (and not just because of this year's result)... but, honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the Presidential election process at all. So, spit balling some ideas (knowing it's easier to throw shit to the wall and see what sticks...

    At first, I thought it was because I live next door to Indiana that I thought was why I was hearing so much about the recent bill that passed there, but, today, I see some pretty big players weighing in on the issue. Yet, there are 18 other states that already have this law in place (including...

    Amazon/Warehouse Workers

    http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/10/business/supreme-court-rules-against-worker-pay-for-security-screenings.html Wow. Was not expecting that outcome. In fact, thought it was ballsy for Amazon to even try it. Do *not* agree with it.

    External Hard Drive for Wii U

    Looking for something at least half a TB, preferably one that requires an AC adapter (since that's what the Wii U prefers). Thoughts on the best deal out there?

    Crazy? Or ahead of one's time?

    20 years ago, if someone said there was a camera in your TV that the government used to watch you, everyone would have thought that person was crazy. Today, television manufacturers ADVERTISE the cameras in their internet-enabled televisions and no one would be at all surprised to learn that...

    "Raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure"

    Curious what people's thoughts are. Senator Obama said these words back in March of 2006. Now that he's in charge, he's arguing the exact opposite. Has something changed so drastically that this was true then, but doesn't apply now? Was it untrue back then, but Senator Obama was just too naive...
