I really wish the Media would give more attention to Ron. At Least give me a reason not to support him.

To win the nomination you need a majority of the delegates, not a mere plurality: that is to say leading with 49% does not win the nomination. Currently no candidate has a majority and as I am looking at polling data for Super Tuesday it appears McCain is going to be short a majority, and only 1/2 way to winning the nomination.

My off the hip guesses for 2/5th delegate counts are:

I will likely soon have some postings about Avisynth, Maybe also Super(c), If you are interested in having the ability to work with video on your PC these programs are both great to have.

A tutorial about Avisynth, with download links and downloadable AVS scripts is available from VideoFX: Avisynth stuff. AVS files are text script files that tell the program how to process files, resize video, do overlays, picture in picture … I could go on but you should go to their wiki for a list of features.

This dated article “American manufacturers deserve a level playing field with China” from Highbeam Research discusses the problems with a Gun ho approach to free trade. Free trade is great but opening up US markets to overseas markets and not having their markets opened to US products is not free trade [1]. It is a misuse of the word: like undocumented immigrant, guest worker program (based on applications of people in the country illegally) … A enumerated list would go on and on, ad infinitum. This misuse of words is a skill the McClintons [5] have and use “Sex”[3], “Amnesty”[2] to consider a few … again to try to enumerate them would make for a depressing article on the current state of US politics.
