Sky highly vulnerable to gravity. Likely to fall any second now..

Our elected officials are dumber than you could possibly imagine.

Yeah, but they're smarter than the people who elect them...

They trade sides often.

Yeah, between offense and defense.

This is its design, to maintain the gatekeepers' authority..

It shouldn't be an option. If they refuse to sell or license it, it should be automatically put into the public domain.

Pretty soon they'll drop HTML support

Nothing is over! Nothing!

How can you even evaluate 'best'?

Very easily. Why can't you? Can't you think for yourself? Or do you need to be spoon fed everything?

I take it you know better and are a millionaire (that's 300 mil) CEO as a result. Personally I think you all are funny. The simple fact is that the stock went up 80% over the last year with her in the hot seat. Make of it what you want, but some investors did very well. That's how the Wall Street Casino works. Now, if you want to tell me the CEO is just a figurehead like the president of the country or the Queen of England and has no effect, go right ahead. The only thing that would matter to me is that I missed out on that 80%. You shouldn't let your opinions cloud your analyses...

The perfect disguise? Groucho Glass

I have problems with both parties. I just think of the two, the Republicans are generally worse.

That is wrong. republicans and democrats are two members of the same team. They work together for shared power. Right now the republicans' job is to scare people into voting for democrats, to make it appear that there is opposition. But we can't make it too lopsided because one side would dominate and end up fixing the blame on one or the other. So now we create scandals to bring people back to the other side a bit. Just enough to keep it evenly balanced. These oh-so-tight races are no accident. They are very well thought out, and it's working very well.

You, d_r, and Smitty are merely in opposite corners of the same trap, and it can't possibly bring any change for the better. The lesser evil can only bring more evil.

I've had a policy of friending everyone who friended me...

:-) Not a problem. I'm friending almost everybody that is not a spammer, which is a dwindling part of the population here, to pick out their journals from the cesspool..

Maybe not, but a year long trend is somewhat noteworthy, and I'm sure some people, including the pretty little Ms Mayer, are pleased with the performance of Yahoo. Now, unless the role of CEO is entirely ceremonial, to call her 'incapable' seems out of touch, don't you think? She is making money for her associates, and nothing else matters.

Because we're here. Make the best of it...

I mean, it's not like there will be any kind of upset in the elections. So ,take a pill, and enjoy the results of your vote...

Bit more details would make it interesting.

They were delicious
