Week in review: What's on your mind?

Every Friday-ish we put up a post for everyone to discuss news items you'd like to discuss through the weekend.

Have at it!

Welcome, Brits!

Welcome to our blog visitors from the UK!

I see that some of the buildings in Poplar area of London were designed by Ernő Goldfinger.

I planned to write a snarky comment about Goldfinger's wide-ranging interests: architecture, metallurgy, stealing gold from Ft. Knox, and so on. Turns out (according to an uncited source in the same wiki) that Ian Fleming named the evil mastermind after the architect.

So now I don't have anything to say other than welcome. Happy now?

The News Beneath the Radar! The Bottom Ten!

Are you keeping up with all of the news going on out there?

If you can answer the fill-in questions below, you either definitely are checking everything out that's happening, or possibly have no life (just kidding on that last one). Have some fun with this over the weekend.

Oh, and the first person to post a comment with all of the right answers gets lunch or dinner on me at York's WOW Cafe & Wingery! So, have at it.

YOU don't want to miss the show on "What's on Your Mind Friday!"

Friday on the Gary Sutton Show, The Main Street of America , is a free-for-all day when you present the topics. They can be off-the-wall, something we didn't get to this week, or something that popped your consciousness. We had some great topics that are still fresh with different viewpoints like:

• The Presidential Campaign -- Obama vs. Clinton
• The Slavery apology and reparations from the Congress
• Curfew for adolescents across York County
• "The Angry White Man" article, plus
• I'll open up my e-mail bag and share some of your blog posts

It's a great way to end the week. Let your voice or blog be heard 9 to noon on Newsradio 910 WSBA, The Gary Sutton Show. We are also on the web at wsba910.com during that time. Join me on Friday.

Apologizing for slavery

There is another movement in the United States Congress to apologize for slavery in this country, that last I checked ended in the 1860’s .

Why? Because politically words are a lot better than actions and makes those who sponsor such divisive, yes, I said divisive bills, feel a little more caring than those who are already past that trivial moment. Check me if I’m wrong on this, but shouldn’t an apology be made to those who have been wronged? If there are any slaves yet today, I would hope that our government would apologize to them. Problem is , there are not. Have you noticed anyone lately spurring this conversation by suggesting that slavery was a darn good thing, and heck Goober, why don’t we re-instate it. Haven’t heard it either.

Was there a time we apologized to those of color we had wronged?Hmm. Let’s check and see if that apology came in the form of action which in my book, was much more powerful. How about if we start with the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves while in the midst of a civil war fought at least in part over the rightness or wrongness of slavery. A big reparation was paid in terms of lives spent there.

Move ahead to the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments put together specifically to grant rights denied. In 1964, the U.S. Congress passed a Civil Rights Bill which made sure we enforced the application of those rights, and Brown vs. the Board of Education in the 1950’s said “separate but equal” would not go in this country. Does that not constitute an apology through continued and sustained action?

If there is an apology owed, it should be from a politically- motivated Congress which continues to divide while the rest of us want to unify. I’m Gary Sutton.

Choose: Underdog or favorite

The never-ending campaign continues, and while it's the gift that keeps on giving for us all, finding angles that keep it fresh are, well, exhausting!

Anyway, I thought that I would toss it your way in another form of a question that can apply to each of us as well as the candidates:

Would you rather be the slight favorite or the slight underdog?

Whether it's you in a competitive situation, or your observations on the present race for presidential nominations, have some fun. GS

Welcome, Austrians!

It seems that we now have visitors from Austria (Republik Österreich)! Willkommen! And my sincere apologies if I spelled that wrong or used it in the wrong context -- it's been ages since my two months of German in grade school.

Big-deal people like Kurt Gödel and Gregor Mendel were born in Austria. And the history! Oh, the history -- the name Hapsburgs ring a bell?

I wanna visit Vienna so badly that the horrific sausages sold here by that name have yet to dissuade me.

This will seem like a weird question, but can anyone familiar with Austrian cuisine tell me whether it's at all similar to Bavarian cuisine?

Tuesday's Tech Tip: Formatting your comments

Did you know that you can use basic HTML tags to format your comments to blog posts?

Here's how. HTML works by telling it when to start doing something and when to stop doing something.

HTML knows you're telling it to start doing something when you put it in angle brackets like this: <HTML code goes in here>

HTML knows you're telling it to stop doing something when you put a slash ("/") at the start of the code you want to stop in the angle brackets like this: </HTML code goes in here> (see the slash?)

How to use italics

Let's say you write this: The quick brown fox.

But you want "brown" to be italicized like this: The quick brown fox.

The HTML code for italics is a simple "i": <i>

You tell it to stop by using a slash ("/") like this: </i>

So here's what you'll type to italicize "brown" in your comment: The quick <i>brown</i> fox.

How to embed a link

Embedding a link is a little more complex, but uses the same principle. The code is "a" (because you're anchoring a link to your text).

This is what the codes look like for embedding a link:

<a href="the link's address you want">text that should be a link</a>.

Let's say you want "fox" to be a link like this: The quick brown fox.

This is what you'll type: The quick brown <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox">fox</a>.

You see the bit that says "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox"? Replace the bit in quotes with the address of the link you want to link to.

Clear as mud?

If YOU were about to die.........

....what would you say? Here's a man that is that exact circumstance as he delivers a final address to his students. It's interesting to think what you might consider if you could plan your own exit. It's about an hour and 15 minutes or so, but well worth watching.

What's on your mind?

Well, we're rolling up on another weekend, so here's another generic post for you to discuss any news items from the week.

Drive safely in this bad weather, everyone!

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fundraiser

I'm helping with Dawn and Scott Trump's fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program on March 10th.

Since 1988, more than 360,000 volunteer participants have helped raise more than $850 million. The money they raise goes to leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma research and patient services.

Our fundraiser will be held on March 10, 2008 from 5pm to 8pm at York's Wow Cafe & Wingery (our info is in the sidebar to the right). They're selling raffle tickets for a chance to win a combo pack of gift certificates from local businesses.

And remember -- you don't have to buy anything from me! Just come in, check out the fundraiser and take the opportunity to introduce yourself as one of our blog citizens!

Obama and Clinton: Views on Immigration

In this video we check in as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have their say on immigration reform. Discuss!

Sound familiar? Candidates and copycatting

Talk about copy-catting! This video shows us Bill back during his first run for President, and Hillary during her run now. It's interesting how she can apparently do freely what she alleged Barack Obama of doing. I guess we'll just chalk this one up to the "Clinton Standard" since it worked so well for them before..

McCain's response to NY Times article

Here is a link to this morning's press conference, courtesy of MSNBC.

Sorry it does not embed. It also is about 17 minutes, with comments and questions.

Bonus Tech Tip: Heavy duty wrap

I found that by switching from regular aluminum foil to "heavy-duty," I am now blocking significantly more signals from CIA mind-control satellites.

I believe the Navy's new low-frequency sonar is aimed at controlling my mind in the tub, however.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can handle this new threat?

A Must Read when it comes to hope!

I'm reading The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, by Barack Obama.

As I check out everything I can find on each candidate, I must say that this book is more insightful into Obama's political thoughts than just about anything else I have poured through this campaign season. When you hear him on the stump, it puts what you are hearing into some context. It definitely is a "Must Read."

Find out where you stand politically

Where do you stand, politically? Do you consider yourself left- or right-wing? There's a neat site called The Political Compass that raises a question about that:

The old one-dimensional categories of 'right' and 'left', established for the seating arrangement of the French National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex political landscape ...

[T]he social dimension is also important in politics. That's the one that the mere left-right scale doesn't adequately address. So we've added one, ranging in positions from extreme authoritarian to extreme libertarian.

You can take the test (it's anonymous) and find out where you stand on their chart. Once you finish the test, your results will be displayed about halfway down the results page.

I know, I know, Gary plugged this ages ago on the old blog, so consider this for new readers and another chance to discuss the test results, methodology, and meaningfulness.

You might not like it---but this story might just be white!

This piece by Gary Hubbell may not be the most idealistic appraisal of the campaign so far, but when it comes to stark reality, he may have pounded the nail right on the head. I can't believe it took a guy from the Aspen Times to write it, but when it comes to experts on white--well you can't beat Aspen. Read this, and let 'er rip. GS

Tuesday's Tech Tip: More fun with Firefox

Here's another tip for Firefox users.

Do you see the search field in the upper right of your Firefox window? See the big "G" icon in it? That's the icon for Google. That means that Firefox will do a Google search for anything you type in that field when you hit "Enter" or the little magnifying glass icon.

Today we'll talk about tricking out that function so it's personalized to you.

Managing your search engines

Google is great, but there are other things I search for regularly. I search on Merriam-Webster (for definitions), Wikipedia (for general knowledge stuff) and Amazon.com (for books).

Click on that Google icon. You see those other search engines? Click on one (I think Yahoo might be one of the defaults). See how it changed the icon in your search box? Now anything you type in that search field will search Yahoo (or whatever you selected) instead of Google. Go ahead and try it.

Now click on that icon again. See where it says "Manage search engines"? Click on that.

In the window that popped up, click on any search engine you don't want to use and then click on Remove.

Now let's add some search engines you want. In your Manage search engines window, click on Get more search engines. A new page will open with search engines you can add. You'll see everything from A9 (Amazon.com's search engine) to Wikipedia. You can add any search engine that catches your eye by clicking on it.

The thing is, the list on that page isn't complete. You might be an eBay fanatic. Wouldn't it be cool to have that as a search engine so you can do a quick search of eBay right from your search bar?

Look at the bottom of that page. Under "Additional Resources" you'll see a link to mycroft.mozdev.org. Click that link and you'll find hundreds (if not more) of search engines you can add to the Firefox search bar just by clicking on the names of search engines that interest you.

Go ahead and install any search engines you want. If you click "start using right away" on the install window that pops up, you're good to go. Otherwise you need to restart Firefox.

Using your search engines

No big deal, you just click on the icon in the search bar, select the search engine you want, and then type in searches to your heart's content, right?

Right. But there's a neat trick you can use to find info on the fly. Click on your search engine icon and make sure Google is selected (the "G"). Now, let's say you're reading something on a website and come across this passage:

About one-fifth of the DNC's delegates are superdelegates at this time. Do I understand this correctly?

Now let's say you're interested in superdelegates. Highlight the word with your mouse (you can do this quickly by simply double-clicking the word). Highlighted? Good. Now right-click with your mouse on the highlighted word. This brings up your "context-sensitive" menu. See where it says "Search Google for superdelegates"? Click that.

You just performed a blindingly fast search of Google that was both on-demand and required very little work to interrupt your train of thought.

Where it gets neat is that it will search with whatever search engine is currently active. So if eBay is your active search engine (you'll see a little eBay icon instead of Google's "G"), highlighting a word or phrase will search eBay with that text.

This makes searching Wikipedia, Amazon.com, or whatever very, very convenient.

Bonus tabs tip

Have you been fooling with the tabs feature in Firefox? Check this out: You can change the order of the tabs just by clicking on the tab and dragging it to the place you want.

Remember our earlier example of researching a new TV? You can re-order those tabs so all the reviews come first and the product pages from online stores come last.

Have fun with Firefox and remember, post labels are your friend! If you want to see all of our tips, you can click the underlined word "tips" under this post to see all of our tips.

Tuesday Show Guest

Join us tomorrow morning in the 9 o'clock hour as we welcome radio and television host John Pinkston, of "Watch America" to the program. He'll be discussing his book, "Our Lost National Identity."

People are people ... right?

There have always been the easy hits ... color, ethnicity, religion, and most recently sexual orientation, that drop people into categories within society. We even find time to classify others by their looks -- beautiful people get to get in here, those who are ugly don't even bother attempting, and so on.

Politics seems to have created a seriously divided and often contentious social class as well, with many calling themselves, conservative, liberal, or whatever the flavor of the day may be.

Strangely enough, though many other of the usual suspects like color, ethnicity, religion and so on, don't fit into this type of social structure. Political affiliation seems to be "all encompassing" in some form with nearly all people.

The important questions coming from this are: WHO are YOU and WHAT do YOU believe?

Are you Liberal? Conservative? Other? Let us know where you stand ideologically, and in turn you will gain a better perspective of your political values and those of your fellow bloggers.

Discuss!

Poll: Do you identify with a political party?

This week's poll is straight forward.

Do you identify with a political party? You can vote in the upper right of the page.

Poll results: Who would you vote for today?

Here are the final results for the "Who would you vote for today?" poll.

Barack Obama, 39 votes (48%)
John McCain, 32 votes (39%)
Hillary Clinton, 8 votes (9%)
Bill Clinton, 2 votes (2%)

81 total votes were cast. However, my superdelegate status means your votes count for nothing and the winner of the poll is Christian Bale. Boy, he plays a great Batman.

So, what news stories did we miss this week that you'd like to discuss?

So much for Officer Friendly?

Just wonderful, huh?

Obama and the Pledge (just so you know)

Keep in mind that nearly all of these "oh my gosh, don't vote for such & such" type e-mails are sent with some kind of agenda behind it. More often than not, the best thing to do is to research it yourself and whenever possible, got directly to the source. You'll feel better about the truth, when you've found it on your own.

Washington's religion

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the blogosphere ...

Jonathan Rowe discusses Washington's religion on the Positive Liberty website.

Jon is something of an expert on religion and the Founding. He writes:

[T]he dispute over the Founding Fathers’ religion has been going on for some time. Even though the letter was written to the New York Times in 1897, the points are still apt. Moncure Conway was a freethinker who did some notable scholarship on George Washington’s religion, in particular his lack of Christian orthodoxy.

One of the things I like about Jon is his honest scholarship and attention to primary sources. For example, when discussing the 1783 Circular to the States and Washington's address to the Delaware Indians, he points out that these are the only two places Washington discusses the name or person of Jesus at all.

What are cost-plus contracts?

With Gary out today, I thought I'd post something that might interest you.

What's a cost-plus contract? From Wiki:

A cost-plus contract is a contract framed in such a way that when the contractor finishes the agreed-upon work, they receive compensation equal to their expenses plus some bonus (which can be either a fixed amount or proportional to the expenses).

Even if the contractor suffers cost overruns, they will still receive full compensation plus their expected profit.

With this kind of contract, what motivation does a contractor have to control costs? From Halliburton Watch:

A typical contractor earns a base fee of 1 percent of the estimated contract cost and an "incentive fee" of up to 9 percent of the cost estimate based on the contractor's performance in a number of areas, including cost control.

The upshot: The contractor will never spend $1 million to do a job when it can spend $10 million and thereby earn a higher fee. So, contractors actually earn more money by wasting taxpayer money.

I'm not familiar with Halliburton Watch, but a Google search will show that cost-plus contract abuses are not the product of the tinfoil-hat crowd. There's more information on the subject in this piece from The Center for Public Integrity titled "Katrina Contracts Worth $2.4 Billion Offer Profit Guarantees."

UPDATE: I forgot to include the link to the Project on Government Oversight's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database.

Tuesday's Tech Tip: Firefox and tabs

Okay, I mentioned earlier that when it comes to my internet browser, I'm a Firefox fan. You can get it here (it's open-source and free).

There's a lot to like about it, but one of my favorite features (now emulated by Microsoft's Internet Explorer) is the tabs feature.

Let's say you're at one of my favorite websites, Arts & Letters Daily. You see three articles that interest you. Rather than clicking on each one, reading it, and then hitting the Back button, you can use tabs.

Here's how. You know that scroll wheel on your mouse? Well, it's also a button (we'll refer to it as the "middle-click"). Hover your mouse pointer over a link you're interested in. Now click the scroll wheel (middle click). Did you see a new tab open up at the top of your screen? Good. Now, do the same thing with a few more links. Now you have a couple tabs open and each tab is one of those articles you want to read.

Just click on the tab to read the article you want. You can close it when you're done reading by clicking on the red "x" button on each tab.

Why is this handy? First, it makes it harder for you to lose your place when you aren't constantly hitting the Back button. And second, you can bookmark a group of tabs to look at later.

Suppose you're planning to buy a new TV. You can have a group of tabs -- maybe two tabs are reviews of the TV, maybe a couple of tabs are product pages on Best Buy's or Circuit City's website. Well, now you can go to Menu --> Bookmarks --> Bookmark All Tabs and type in a folder name (for example, "New TV research").

Now, let's say you come back to your computer tomorrow and you want to start your research again. Go to your bookmarks sidebar (the hotkey for it is "CTRL-B") and look for the folder you saved the tabs under (we named it "New TV research" in our example). You can click it open and click on any item to open it. We're impatient, though, so we aren't going to do that.

Just hover your mouse pointer over the folder ("New TV research") in your sidebar and click the scroll wheel (middle-click). It will now open every item in the folder as its own tab.

Neat, eh?

A thought on the role of the media

It seems to me that a lot of people are really confused about the role of the media in this election cycle.

Somehow, we have come to believe that media-types, and talk show hosts are to lead and the rest follow. Nothing could be more of an insult to the people than this kind of thinking.

Thomas Sowell wrote a recent piece in which he described the role of the public:

It is the public that reads newspapers and magazines, that listens to radio or watches television. They are depending on journalists to tell them the truth as they see it and to offer their honest opinion as to what it means.

Journalists cannot serve two masters. To the extent that they take on the task of suppressing information or biting their tongue for the sake of some political agenda, they are betraying the trust of the public and corrupting their own profession.

Link (via Townhall.com)

What's a superdelegate?

I heard the term superdelegate on Monday's show and had to look it up. Here's a summary from Wikipedia:

In some states, the delegates so chosen are legally required to vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged, at least on the first ballot at the convention. By contrast, the superdelegates are seated based solely on their status as current or former elected officeholders and party officials. They are free to support any candidate for the nomination, although many of them have publicly announced endorsements.

Wiki says that the term usually applies to Democrats, although it seems that Republicans have something similar (usually called unpledged delegates).

About one-fifth of the DNC's delegates are superdelegates at this time. Do I understand this correctly? And if I do, does this practice sound non-democratic to anyone else?

Who would you vote for today?

Oops! I meant to post up this entry to accompany Gary's poll, that way you can discuss it all week until voting is closed.

Well, it's here now. Have at it.

Totally, like, whatever ...
