General

The 3 M’s and the next twenty years.  American politics typically is dominated by a single party.  For the last 80 years that has been the Democrats.  As of yesterday, we have now formally entered an era of Republican domination.  The Republican vision for American is one firmly entrenched in the preservation of the status quo.

Up until this last year, the Republicans didn’t have a sufficiently broad-based platform to allow them to consistently win elections.  9/11 changed that.  National Security is now an issue with broad appeal that allows the Republicans to attract the incremental votes needed to win elections consistently.

The Republican platform can be summed with the following:    

Militarism.  National security.  Aggressive and unilateralist.

Money.  Wealth preservation.  Tax cuts.

Morals.  The sanctity of life.  The preservation of the American family.

More on this later. [John Robb’s Radio Weblog]

I’m home 😉

Back on Amtrak’s Acela Express heading from Penn Station, New York back to Providence, Rhode Island…  should be home in less than three hours..

Got to see our stores in Queens Place and Gateway Center (Brooklyn) today as well as spending some office time with the boss – pretty enlightening day.

Looking forward to seeing what Amtrak has cooked up for dinner tonight.  Very interesting to me that I have the same crew in first class on the way home today that I had coming here…

Now it’s Enimem…

I am having a blast being the owner of an Apple iPod. 

I purchased the 20GB Windows Version, and after some intial problems figuring out how to get it to sync the way that I wanted with my Sony Vaio laptop, I eventually loaded my entire CD collection onto it (2200+ songs).  I had previously ripped all of my CDs onto the hard drive of one of my servers.

Right now I’m jamming to Dave Matthews while cruising through southwestern Connecticut on the way to New York City for a real job ™ trip…

Cruising along at around 110mph right now on Amtrak’s Acela Express from Providence, RI to New York’s Penn Station (in Manhattan) – should be there in about 45 minutes.

This is so much cooler (and easier) than flying on a damn sardine can through the air…

I can’t wait to check this out – should be highly entertaining.
