come to detroit; the place where random gunfire breaks out at the july 4th fireworks and nba basketball players charge fans that throw beer at them during the game. yes, another great story for the national papers. watching that was like watching the end of the movie,bruce almighty ,when all hell breaks lose and mayhem ensues. i believe they were going for an “end of the world” type feel.

google just launched scholar.google.com. this is a free service that offers a person access to a variety of academic research. its a great quick reference tool. i so wish they would have had this when i was in school and doing research.

ever receive one of those emails from someone at work that you wish you were able to respond to honestly but couldn’t because you had to maintain your “professionalism”…..that and your job? well, i came across an optional way of handling this issue.

some people got together and made a website to let the world know that we tried. its kind of like group therapy. http://www.sorryeverybody.com/ there is more here and here.

bush declares victory and kerry concedes.

i can’t believe that i’m surprised by the election results…..but i am! democrats have not only lost more muscle in the house and senate but b*sh is very close to declaring victory. and if that isn’t bad enough, we are telling people who can marry who.

i am astounded that people could re-elect b*sh. even worse, what were they thinking when they chose yes on proposal 2? it saddens me that we live in a society that feels ownership over a person’s sexual orientation and creates laws to ensure that people who are gay are unable to marry and be recognized as a union.

my counterpart on mercury just launched an online mini-series called meet the lucky ones. i’ve never seen anything like this on an automotive website. groovy music too.
