…get ready for bed”?
I think it’s the “get ready” part. It’s not that they don’t understand it, it’s just that the phrase is way too open to interpretation. I mean, who’s to say that it doesn’t take thirty minutes, four twinkies, and a good fifteen minute stare at the TV to get ready for bed?

Why are you a progressive fascist totalitarian who only pretends to like baby elephants, as a cover for really hating them?

US senator set for Myanmar Burma [ed. JCM] talks
A US senator is set to become the most senior Washington official to meet Myanmar’s ruling military leaders during talks in the Southeast Asian nation.Jim Webb, a Democratic senator from the eastern US state of Virginia, was scheduled to hold talks with Senior General Than Shwe, the head of Myanmar’s army and the country’s leader, on Saturday (0430GMT).

Marc Andreessen back in the browser biz?
Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape, is reportedly backing a startup called RockMelt that is throwing its hat into the increasingly crowded ring of the browser wars. Little is known about RockMelt at this point aside from rumor and innuendo. The idea, supposedly, is to build a new browser from the ground up rather than just re-engineering the existing browser engine model. It sounds like a daunting undertaking which leads me to wonder- why? If RockMelt ends up being the greatest web browser ever built and is victorious in the browser market share war, what exactly does it win?

Somebody probably linked to this already, but…
However, an influential Democratic representative said the House would only pass a health care bill in January or later, signaling continuing rifts within Obama’s party on his domestic priority for 2009.
“We’re taking some time to make sure it’s done right,” said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania. “I don’t know that we’ll get something done before January, and even then we may not get it done. We’re going to do it right when it’s finally done.”

Obama has another joe the plumber moment
he admits he’s gonna have to raise taxes
“You can’t tell us how you’re going to pay for this,” the man said. “The only way you’re going to get that money is raise our taxes.”
“You are absolutely right. I can’t cover another 47 million people for free. I can’t do that. We’re going to have to find money from somewhere,” Obama said
bwahahahah, suckers…how’s that hope and change working out for you.

It would be more productive if he addressed two of the big flaws with HTML (rather than just creating another browser.)
HTML, which is the principal way of presenting and using the internet these days, is a product of the English language. Other languages with different methods of writing are left out. Furthermore, what is most ironic is that even though the internet, the web, and associated tools all came out of scientific and engineering communities there is still no standard way of having a browser handle mathematics, which to me is a great flaw.

Yes, but it’s nice to see that moron squirming like this. If someone as senior as Murtha is starting to waffle on this health care proposal, then it’s not a far stretch to expect to see a lot of the other Dems starting to think twice about this.
