"What does this have to do with science fiction? I hope that prohibition will seem like the product of a dystopian science-fiction novel someday, and join slavery and the divine right of kings on the trash-heap of history."

Good find for Google Chrome. I’ve switched over to GC in the past week. It feels really clean to me.
Yeah, I like it too. The occasional inconvenience (like, ftp links don’t work) is more than compensated for by its speed.
Hey Chip!
Thanks for the link
And thanks even more for the welcome back! Means a lot to me
Mohan
I’ll always leave the RSS light on for you, Mohan.
Thank you Chip! I bow before thy ever shining light
I an honored, Mohan.
The question — “If John McCain died or became incapacitated, would Sarah Palin be competent to be President?” — is irrelevant, because you see, if the GOP wins, they will suddenly discover McCain is not qualified to be president (due to having been born in Panama) and so it’s Palin who gets inugaurated; something Cheney has been planning all along
That Rovian enough for you, Chip?
Something Doc Searls said the other day is even more sinister: the GOP doesn’t want to win the election, because whoever gets to be president has no hope of success beyond perhaps being able to keep the national nostrils above the surface of the quicksand we’re in. Then in 2012 the GOP can ride into the election on their “told you so” horse and sweep both the White House and Congress. Poisoned pawn sacrificed for checkmate.
If the Republicans allowed the nomination of a good candidate, that wouldn’t be such a bad deal.
They think their only hope is to play a “moderate” candidate like McCain who is only halfway libertarian and maybe three-quarters social conservative (I’d put him at about 2 o’clock on the dial, where 12=Libertarian, 3=Conservative, 6=Statist, and 9=Liberal — although his suggestion to buy back lost home equity sent the needle shooting momentarily over to the left). They don’t think that someone who really believes that upholding the Constitution is the primary job of the federal government will be able to appeal to enough people.
