OnTheIssues.org is a great place to find out just where the candidates stand on the issues of the 2008 General Election. You can also find tons of other candidates state by state, too! We have a link to them in the links section, on the-left-hand column of the site.

I just simply want to ask your thoughts on Governor Palins Vice Presidential acceptance speech on Wednesday night. Let 'er rip!

As promised, today is about freshening up Windows XP's look (for free). Here's my XP desktop (click it to enlarge): REMEMBER: This tip is for Windows XP users! Not Windows Vista, Windows 2000, or, God help us, Windows 95. The theme. First, let's replace your blue default theme (the one that makes your start bar and windows look like they were made by Fisher Price). You'll need to download and

Evan Bayh - 7% Joe Biden - 50% Tim Kaine - 0% Hillary Clinton - 19% Other - 23% Are the readers here prescient? Not so much. The poll didn't close until after the announcement and some readers had fun voting for Biden after the fact. Prescient, no, but funny, yes.

So John McCain, who was around when Washington , D.C. was built, picks a a great-looking woman of 44 named Sarah Palin who's an athlete, a mother of five, a former basketball point guard for a state championship team, a lifetime member of the NRA, an environmentalist, a whistleblower, a second place finisher in the Miss Alaska contest, a journalist major, a mayor, a governor, and now a vice

With Senator Barack Obama now the official Democratic Presidential nominee, the question begs to be asked, "Do you need to hear more from Obama or has he already given you enough info to seal the deal?" Check in with your comments here!

Do you have a ".edu" email address? Enrolled in any classes? How about your kids? If the answers are yes to those questions (or you know someone who is eligible), you can buy Microsoft Office 2007 (and it's the Ultimate version!) for only $59. The Ultimate version comes with full versions of, well, everything. It's a download. Visit Microsoft's Office discount site for more info. If you can't

Now that Senator Obama has chosen Senator Biden as his running mate onb the Democratic ticket, what do you think? Was it the safe pick? Did it represent change? How about the question of whether or not it gives Obama greater standing in terms of foreign policy? What do you think????

With the shooting events at Columbine School and Virginia Tech on their minds, the small school district of Harrold in North Texas has passed a new rule, and it’s causing debate around Texas and the country. Starting this term, teachers in the district can carry concealed firearms as long as they are licensed and trained in use of guns. In order for teachers and staff to carry a pistol, they

Well, "running mate" really, but I needed to abbreviate to fit it in the poll title. Anyway, who will it be? Who should it be? I'm voting for "other." I like Sen. Jim Webb and would like to see him as the running mate for either party. Maybe he's too principled to survive the process.

I am absolutely puzzled! I recently read that immigration reform advocates, including Democrats like Chairman John Conyers of the House Judiciary Committee are calling for an end to Immigration and Customs raids at businesses that knowingly hire large numbers of illegal aliens. See why I’m puzzled? It doesn’t make any sense, does it? What if law enforcement was watching a business which ended

A listener sent me this YouTube video today, and I found it to be provocative spurring lots of thought. I think it will jolt you as well, so I offer it below. I look forward to your reactions.

Yesterday, we had a wonderful discussion about the American Psychological Association's recent assertion that "having an abortion in the first trimester and bringing a baby to full term has the same psychological effect on the woman."We had a number of women who have had abortions and children calling in with stories about the misery they have endured because of abortions, and the stories they

Stop surfing stupid. That's today's tech tip. If something looks sketchy it probably is. Wealthy Nigerian government officials do not need your help moving large sums of money. No website is really selling an Xbox 360 for $35. Stop opening every random email attachment sent to you. And for goodness sake, stop clicking on every ad banner that catches your eye. How stupid are people? An IT

What item do you now use all the time and wonder how you ever lived without it? I'll start us off with two items: Kitchen tongs. I remember when I finally started using kitchen tongs several years ago. Holy smokes! How did I ever live without 'em? My cheap TomTom One GPS device. I don't need this often because I never go anywhere. On those few occasions that I do, however, this little device

We've been talking about education lately. Peter Wood recently wrote a commentary called How Our Culture Keeps Students Out of Science for The Chronicle of Higher Education. His premise is that science is hard work and that our society is not culturally-geared to the concept that hard work is necessary to attaining intellectual heights. This reminds me of a US Navy presentation that called the

Everyone needs office software. The basics are a spreadsheet, a word processor and a personal information manager (PIM) like Outlook. Some people also need presentation software, basic drawing software and database tools. What to do? Most people have two choices: Microsoft Office and Microsoft Works (Works is like a stripped-down, icky version of Office). MS Works can be had for about $40 and
