Thursday Tidbits

I've mentioned time and again how underwhelming the crop of contenders for the 2008 Presidential election is. While I hold out hope that Al Gore reconsiders and decides to run (and there's a great story on that here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21231563/ ), in the meantime, I have decided to back John Edwards. There's a link to his website off with the other things that don't suck links. Feel free to take a gander at his positions on the war (says he'll get troops out within 9 months of taking office , health care (everyone covered), and all his other positions which favor working class America. My endorsement means nothing to the success or failure of the Edwards campaign but I also wanted to endorse something (and now I have). I'd also like to endorse Dunkin' Donuts, General Mills cereals, BMW automobiles, and the Sonly Playstation 3 so corporate overlords if you're listening, give me free stuff and I'll endorse your crap.

Speaking of endorsements, feel free to click on the ad links. Go do it now...I'll wait.

As for the war that never ends, changes are coming that would leave the Army taking care of things in Iraq while the Marines get Afghanistan:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/11/washington/11military.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
