2007 House of Representatives
233 (or 53.5%) Democrat
202 (or 46.4%) Republican
2007 Senate

Also, while the president may lead the nation, it is congress that makes the laws and decides how our money is spent!

Mac Idea
Actually this ID could be for any PC, but it would be really neat if it appeared on the Mac first.
I wish Apple would build a computer that has an 8/16/32 GB SSD reserved for the O/S and applications. Then the regular hard drive could be reserved for data. The cool thing about this is that it would be very easy to pop out the hard drive and setup another without having to reconfigure the O/S and applications.
Even cooler would be to have a copy of the O/S and applications kept hidden from everyday operations that could be used to restore from if the O/S or applications were ever corrupted. For that matter, the backup could just contain installers rather having installed applications.
What do you think? Should we lobby Apple to move in this direction?? If you agree with my idea, spread the word and ask Apple to do it. Maybe if enough of us do it, it will happen.
Another idea is that all the data could be kept in the cloud, then it would always be available and backed up. If your suspcious that the cloud may not be accessible, then the cloud could just be a copy. Your data hard drive would just need to synchronize whenever the cloud was available.

Dear President-Elect Obama,
As a citizen of the United States, you are soon to be my leader for the next four years. Even though I did not vote for you and that I have concerns about your leadership and positions, I do sincerely wish you well. I hope that you will prove me wrong. I hope that you will be the greatest president that the US has ever had.
Best of luck and God Bless the United States of America,
Danny Spell

The Presidential Election: Regarding Obama's Tax Plan
See WSJ opinion piece: Obama's 95% Illusion
I guess a lot of people feel the need for government to be Robin Hood since it appears that the rich get rich by screwing over their fellow man. Corruption exists in every society, but I'd like to think that most rich people got rich by working hard and building something of value. The greatest asset America has are people that are willing to risk everything to start a business and make something of it. The evil lies in corrupt, greedy business people and power mad politicians. That said, I think a small percentage, like 10% of the rich are truly evil. Still that adds up and it makes the other 90% look bad. Just my 2 cents.
As for Obama this or McCain that, does it really matter?? They both promise everything and neither will be able to deliver. My advice is to vote for neither and to always vote against the incumbent. If you like a third party candidate, vote for them. If no one serves more than one or two terms, it might reduce the power of the lobbyists or at least make it more costly for lobbyists to buy favors.
