OK. Where do I get a Wii?

Nintendo

This is just silly. The system has been out for nearly TWO years and it's still out of stock everywhere. WTF?

Where can one buy (and actually receive within 2 weeks) a vanilla Wii, with no bundle (except possibly DDR & pads), for approximately MSRP?

What Georgia should be saying right now

Dear Putin,
Chechnya.
STFU bitch.

Not that it would matter, but still, it ought to be said, loudly.

Meanwhile, Putin must be thanking God for speaking to Bush 9 years ago. He has had so much freedom to oppress, thanks to the relative moral vacuum generated by us.

Americans say: throw all the OTHER bums out!

Nearly 2/3rds of all US voters would like to see most members of Congress removed from office and replaced with new blood. Sounds like a strong national mandate for CHANGE , doesn't it?

Well, it might, except for the second question in the survey: Do you think YOUR OWN LOCAL members of Congress should get the axe? As you have already guessed, nearly as large a majority responded no. You see, their guys are the ONLY honest and good politicians in all of Washington.

Once again, the Onion remains a prophetic voice in the wilderness.

Change I less strongly believe in

Although Squiggy is right that the one is identifiably better than the other, in my opinion he is not ENOUGH better to be worth a large personal effort on my part. So although I continue to stand against some of the obvious smears, I will not be campaigning for him in Virginia. His 180 on FISA indicates that he is a full member of The Invertebracy.

Meanwhile, although McCain has done his best to disguise himself, he is in fact Not Bush. Therefore, the difference between the two does not exceed epsilon for my purposes.

Virginia is the swing state in 2008

After playing the electrical college game at 270toWin, I have come to the conclusion that whoever wins Virginia in November will be the next President. Please note that I predicted the same about Ohio in 2004. Suppose I should do some voter registration there this summer. Anybody want to join me?
