Hillary seems to just be hanging on to this faint idea that she has a chance to win the nomination. She’s even gone as far as making up her own mathematical equation to claim she is winning the popular vote. She fails to count every state and only the ones that have benefited her thus far. She is really starting to reflect the same attitude of Bush and keep pushing through a dying situation, throwing more money out the window and tearing apart the democratic party.

I think she really needs to just go away and start supporting Obama so the democrats don’t completely blow their hopes of winning the presidency. All of this back and forth is just adding fuel to the Republican campaign. With all of the crap that congress has promised and what’s actually happened, now this continuous bashing of each other, things just get worse and worse as each day passes by.

Give it a rest lady.

I think with all of the debates going on and the races starting to heat up, the candidates need to start discussing real issues. Issues like clean code, valid XHTML, usability, and coolness. Each candidate has rather up to date websites, in terms of look and standards. All are filled with ads, flashy galleries, sign-up forms every where, videos from YouTube. For me, my vote is going to come down to who has the cleanest XHTML, great use of standards and usability, because a candidate that cares about their site, cares about the people.

Worst Code
Taking a look underneath the hood of each site, you’ll be able to see just how well these sites are groomed. While all of them are up to date with certain 2.0 trends, there are a few that missed the boat. John McCain takes the Worst Code award. Very disorganized and bloated with inline JavaScript. Sorry but I just can’t look a candidate in the eye and believe what they are saying when they have coding practices like this. Coming in a close second is Mitt Romney. Full inline CSS style sheet just isn’t very 2008.

Most Like a Billboard
The winner of this category goes to Hill-Dawg. This site is piled high with ads or announcements that look like ads. I wonder if she has those tied into Google Adwords and just gets paid by herself for serving them, bold strategy. The rest don’t have a huge amount of advertising and actually cram a lot of content in the correct places.. so points to everyone else cept Hill-Dawg on this one.

Best Logo Design
Obama has by far the best logo of the bunch. It’s intuitive and fitting, really presents him the best. Others have various renditions of the flag or else there’s McCain who just has a standard Photoshop shape of a star as his logo. Minus 5 points for McCain again. I think a lot of thought went into creating Obama’s logo and it definitely shows in the end results. Obama 10 everyone else 2, except McCain who’s sitting at negative 10.

Best Color Scheme
This is a tough one to judge because it’s a little hard to waiver from the red, white, and blue.. but I think Obama shows the best use of a great palette. The vibrant blues and reds show off well with glowing accents and other effects throughout the site. A few others use a rather dull and boring palette, but McCain once again scores at the bottom with his use of heavy black tones. Trust me it’s nothing personal against McCain, I just don’t like him.

Overall Design Concepts
Huckabee’s is probably the most bloggish looking site, but with Chuck Norris on his back I don’t really want to go any further on that one. Guiliani I think, has the best integrated video player. Almost every other candidate went the easy route and just embedded some other video source. Best rotating feature pane goes to Obama, surprise surprise. It flows very well with the rest of the site and doesn’t look like every other rotating pane.

Conclusion
Adding up the points, looks like Obama wins with a score of 124 while the next closest, Ron Paul comes in at 34. This rating system is based solely on the time of day and how many cups of coffee I have had at that time. Other notables are Hill-Dawg with 8 points, and John McCain comes in at -17 points. So looks like based on these issues, which every true American should weigh, Obama is the clear favorite in 2008.

I don’t even know how to approach this one. Good Ole’ Ann Coulter had completely out done herself this time. Earlier this week she told the New York Observer that women should lose the right to vote. She believes that single women don’t know how to vote and so they vote for Democrats mostly. She also uses this point to say Democrats should be ashamed that more men don’t vote for them. It’s amazing how this lady continuously gets the time in front of a camera or news reporter. Why haven’t people just realized this lady is a complete nut job and denounce her?

Ann Coulter - “If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it’s the party of women and “We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care — and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?”

Good ole’ Douche bag Sean Hannity and his red headed side kick try to deflect attention off Guilianni’s own kids denouncing him. His daughter has a Facebook page supporting Obama while his son says he’s estranged from his father. Then there is the whole issue of his affairs/divorce all of that. I don’t think the divorce issue is all that severe but I do think it speaks volumes when your own kids don’t support your efforts. One defense given by Kelly Anne something is that.. “She’s 17.. what does she know about

Just came across this article about a guy who was reading some article in a Caribou Coffee. A couple days later he received a call from his mother while at work, saying there were two FBI agents at their house. The agents later visited the guy while at work and were questioning him about where and what he was doing on a Saturday morning. They asked him what exactly he was reading that morning. They were informed by an anonymous tip, that a suspicious man was reading some unidentified

There is a growing problem with the public school system it seems. I have heard or read many stories about parents and teachers claiming that in the last 4 or 5 years, they have seen a dramatic decline in the creativity and critical thinking students. What is going wrong with our Public schooling system? Why are kids that think different or act different punished and exiled from a system that should support creative thinking and outward

A recent post on Digg was titled “RIP Fifth Amendment Of U.S. Constitution, 1791-2007“. Everyone on Digg, because of the title alone, started to “digg” the story only because it had to deal with Bush, Impeachment and Loss of Rights. I’m not sure if any of them actually read the “Executive Order” or what. Going through the order that was released on the 17th of July, all I could see was an order that was directed at people that were imposing violence and in turn, under minded the “War on
