If you decide to upgrade the RAM and hard drive, you could do worse than use Crucial.com. You download a scanner which will tell you what upgrades you can put in and where. Once you’ve got an SSD there is a […]

I can’t help feeling that the Democrats would benefit from having an even slightly visible and likeable leader. Do they even have a leader at the moment?

Judee Sill: Jesus Was a Crossmaker.

Not to mention demolishing part of the White House to build an expensive vanity project, of questionable taste, while government is shutdown.

His book is well worth a read too.
