Standby.. I need to rebuild the current executable because there have been some changes to the resources that the emulator works with out in internet land. Once I get the build out (in the near future)  I will begin to accept new users and supporting any issues at that point. Also, I may automate the process of adding users instead of the manual process that is currently done.

Okay.

I call them the Demadon'ts and the Republican'ts. Both parties suck.

Time to go like Great Britain and allow all parties to run in every election with no strings attached.

I felt Obama's speech was pretty good myself.

I loved how he looked at Congress and told them to stop bickering and work as a team like the military so things can get moving for OUR benefit. I wished he'd have said that two years ago. The man is willing to work with the GOP, but basically been telling him "F-ck you" and sending him bills they know he will veto so they can say he hasn't done anything. Hell, Sen. McConnell flat out said he wants Obama out in 2012 and will do what he can to do so.

I'm all for getting alternative energy sources off and running. It will take time to get them viable enough to use. Why wait until the oil runs out before we start doing anything? That's @ss-backwards.

The only proposal I didn't like is the feds giving more money to keep teachers from being laid off. Some school districts are losing students while other districts are gaining students. Cut some teachers from those districts that are losing students and allow them to get on in districts that are gaining students.

Tornado Watch 15 is in effect until 3 pm for a good chunk of western Louisiana and extreme SE Texas. I would not be surprised if additional watches were issued later this evening for areas east of this watch box.

Don't forget Todd Santos, Eric Fisher, and Mark Elliott. I despise them all.

Agreed along with dumping Crystal.

I remember Samantha from her days at KPIX-TV. I liked her quite a bit.
