Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor of California says he will sue the Federal Government to force a reduction of CO2 emissions, which have been associated with Global Warming. Needless to say Arnold is not as smart as those that figured out that CO2 emissions rise after temperature increase and not before the temperature increase and that the numbers used by Al Gore were done by somebody who gets less than 100% on math assignments.

The current reality of Arnold’s actions is to force people in California to use less energy, as he is offering no alternative, and run factories not by machines that need power. But back like they did in the days of Conan.

I’ve not been following the national poll because US elections are based on state elections and not a popular vote. It only becomes important if it causes people to consider the candidate (as viable) - and swings a state to that candidate.

The polls have been getting closer; However, I would be shocked if they actually change. I’ve lived in California most of my life and California is typically not in play. A change in the vote for California would not have effected 2004 or 2000 or etc, etc, etc. California is and has been considering breaking of its electoral college vote. In primaries prior to 2008 the nominations have already been selected before California has had its elections. So the norm is “who are the nominations this time?” not “which candidate do you want to nominate?”

So on Feb. 5th, if there is no clear winner Californians may find themselves in the situation of ‘I have not really given much thought to who to nominate!’ Without giving much thought, Hillary has been leading in national polls, Rudy has been leading in national polls — they are OK, if not well then why are they leading in national polls.

Proper web design that takes into account search engines really has not changed much. Gaming search engines changes often — I consider gaming search engines a waste of time: the longer a given page remains effective more people will see it without more authoring effort; Making the ROI for that effort higher. I can not say it is not fun in some sort of video game way to figure out the algo for a search engine: but I can say it is not profitable, to engage in tricks.
