Why do you say we "need" a female president? How is she more qualified because she has a vagina? That is the definition of sexist right there! If you actually cared about equality you would look at qualifications, values, and character rather than sexual organs.

You are part of the problem right here. Thinking that we have some sort of "need" to check off some box of certain criteria for a person, female, black, gay, rather than look at the quality of their character or their qualifications to do a job. That is a dangerous game you are playing. Also, curious that you only mentioned black, female, and gay. What is wrong you have something against, hermaphrodites, Brazilians, Chinese, Eskimos, Indians (Native or Asian), Australians, Irish, Colombians, or any others? Why are any of them not deserving of your special qualifying check marks that we are in "need" of achieving?

The presidency is not an achievements based game of equal opportunity, it is highest level of office for the Executive Branch, now start treating it as such. Skin color, racial makeup, sexual preference, hair color, and underwear choice have nothing to do with it. But the propensity to commit felonies during and in order to make into a public office sure do show the character of the candidate.

Flying Car Ready To Take Off 315

ChazeFroy writes "The first flying automobile, equally at home in the sky or on the road, is scheduled to take to the air next month. If it survives its first test flight, the Terrafugia Transition, which can transform itself from a two-seater road car to a plane in 15 seconds, is expected to land in showrooms in about 18 months' time. Terrafugia claims it will be able to fly up to 500 miles on a single tank of unleaded petrol at a cruising speed of 115mph. Even at $200,000 per automobile, they have already received 40 orders."

DTV Coupon Program Out of Money 591

Thelasko writes "It appears that the US Government's digital converter box program is running out of money. If you sign up after the program runs out of money, you will receive your voucher if the program receives more funding. Older analog televisions will no longer work without a converter box after February 17."
