My Way News - Tech-Stiles: Clothes That Produce Power

My Way News - Tech-Stiles: Clothes That Produce Power: "Wang has coaxed the wires to grow around strands of yarn in a few square millimeters of fabric, but has not made sizable pieces yet. But he estimates that one square meter of nanowire-infused fabric would produce around 80 milliwatts of electricity, enough to recharge portable music players." This seems laughable. I wouldn't invest in any company trying to develop this. But who knows? Maybe it will be a reality some day. I doubt it.

My Way News - Obama Proposes $210 Billion for New Jobs

My Way News - Obama Proposes $210 Billion for New Jobs: "JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama said Wednesday that as president he would spend $210 billion to create jobs in construction and environmental industries, as he tried to win over economically struggling voters." Wow! If government spending money is the solution to all of our problems, then my vote is to give all of our salaries to Obama because he's sooo smart! He'll spend it better than me. Why, I think I'll just start sending my paycheck to him now to get a head start.

My Way News - Rebate Checks in the Mail by Spring

My Way News - Rebate Checks in the Mail by Spring: "Whether people actually spend the money remains to be seen. A recent Associated Press-Ipos poll indicates most people have other plans. Forty-five percent said they planned to pay off bills, while 32 percent said they would save or invest it. Only 19 percent said they would spend their rebates." This amounts to a transfer of personal debt to national debt.

My Way News - US May Ask Death for 9-11 Suspects

My Way News - US May Ask Death for 9-11 Suspects: "WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon is planning to charge six detainees at Guantanamo Bay for the Sept. 11 terror attacks on America and seek the death penalty." Better be quick with this. Gitmo is no more come November.

My Way News - Microsoft Offers $44.6B for Yahoo

My Way News - Microsoft Offers $44.6B for Yahoo: "SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) (MSFT) has pounced on slumping Internet icon Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) (YHOO) with an unsolicited takeover offer of $44.6 billion in its boldest bid yet to challenge Google Inc. (GOOG)'s dominance of the lucrative online search and advertising markets." http://thpope.blogspot.com/2007/07/iphone-buyers-have-no-regrets-yahoo.html This has been forcasted for awhile. It was thought to be a rumor, but I always thought it had some truth. Yahoo is in bad shape and has been struggling against the bad boy Google. Microsoft has to do this to survive against Google, but they need new people at the top to give a fresh look and convince investors that they will go after Google in a more end-user centric way.

My Way News - Schwarzenegger Endorses John McCain

My Way News - Schwarzenegger Endorses John McCain: "LOS ANGELES (AP) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Sen. John McCain in the Republican presidential race on Thursday, praising him as an extraordinary leader who can reach across the political aisle to get things done." (singing) "I'm in the mood for change..." blah blah. That's my theory of why McCain and Obama are rising. Both sides and the whole country are just in the mood for something different. We want to close out the Iraq war, we want something different in the economy, we want a move in the abortion issue, we want someone other than Bush and Clinton as president. But, as a conservative, I resist this "feeling." I want the fundamentals to be there. I want supply-side economics unleashed. I want State-Rights over Federal-Rights (aka federalism). I want secured borders and I want to destroy our enemies. I'm not excited and even depressed with our current candidates.

My Way News - Giuliani to Exit Presidential Race Today

My Way News - Giuliani to Exit Presidential Race Today: "The results seriously decimated Giuliani's unconventional strategy, which relied heavily on Florida to launch him into the coast-to-coast Feb. 5 nominating contests." It was somewhat refreshing to see different tactics for running this time, with Thompson delaying on officially getting in and Giuliani skipping the early primaries/caucuses. But it did prove that the conventional way still works best. The outcome could have been completely different if they both had done the old fashioned way.

My Way News - Giuliani to Exit Presidential Race Today

My Way News - Giuliani to Exit Presidential Race Today: "ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Following his third place finish in Florida, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani is expected to drop out of the presidential race today and endorse Sen. John McCain." I hope this is wrong. He should not endorse McCain. Giuliani's dropping out actually will seal the deal for Romney. Romney has picked up most of Thompson supporters and I believe he will get half or more of Giuliani's. McCain does not have more conservative support than Romney. Romney is not a favorite but will be preferred over McCain for conservatives. My fears are coming true: This will be a race for who can do the least worst on turn-out. I expect that this will be a very low turn-out and that will unfortunately favor Hillary. Which is a change for past elections where republicans did well with low turn-out. So I might as well start preparing for a very bad four years. Bad thing is, I don't think republicans will take either the house or senate and probably lose seats. My only reprieve is the Supreme Court has 4 strong originalists and that can help slow the countries progression to tyranny. I was right that Thompson would drop out. I was wrong about Giuliani and therefore wrong that they would be a ticket.

My Way News - John Edwards to Quit Presidential Race

My Way News - John Edwards to Quit Presidential Race: "DENVER (AP) - Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voter's sympathies but never diverted his campaign, The Associated Press has learned."

My Way News - Senate May Add to Stimulus Package

My Way News - Senate May Add to Stimulus Package: "WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats will move to add to a $150 billion economic stimulus package rebates for senior citizens living off Social Security and an extension of unemployment benefits, setting up a clash with the White House and House leaders who are pushing a narrower package." Saw this coming also. Watch and see, "We're only asking for $50 billion more for the old people." I would love to see the American people wake up and stop this thing like we did for the amnesty bill. But, I don't expect that. "Uh, yea, please don't give me $1200, I prefer you keep my money for the benefit of the nation." $1200 will buy a nice new 42" HD TV, or take a big chunk out of 60" plasma. Little do you know, the price of everything will shoot up another 5%. We'll lose that $1200 and end up paying $3000 more for everything this year and years to come.
