- GOP presidential hopeful (haha) Sam Brownback sent out a memo criticizing forerunner (and Mormon) candidate Mitt Romney... "The LDS Jesus is not the same Jesus of the Christian faith." (I wonder what my subcontractor would say. Actually, I don't.)

- Bill Richardson is selling an Iraq war policy that would leave zero troops in Iraq.

- If New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is not running for president in 2008, he is paving the way for a run against an incumbent democrat (my prediction) in 2012. Bloomberg is a democrat-turned-republican, a type of republican that could get support from both sides of the electorate. Similarly, California Governor Schwarzenegger is currently dressed as a republican, but is governing as a democrat, a populist approach in California. Bloomberg's New York City is even more of a democratic stronghold, and if a republican can win New York and California, the keys to the Oval Office are all but guaranteed.

- And Google Gears, which allows for offline use of online web applications, may lead to the death of Microsoft Office, or so they say.
