Watching the candidates

Posted in All on January 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments

I’m not usually very political.  I don’t care much about elections, campaigns, politics or policies, and things like that.  But that didn’t stop me from watching the USA presidency candidate talks at Google.  Here are the names and what I think  of them:

  • Ron Paul.  This was the only video that I watched in full length.  This guy speaks good, and he has plenty of common sense in him.  He’s also pretty popular on the Web, but, somehow, I doubt that he will make it to the president.  He and his campaign contradict the interests of too many people.
  • Hillary Clinton.  She speaks like a politician with a lot of experience.  That’s probably why I don’t understand much of her.  Watched the video for about 10 minutes.
  • Barack Obama.  I don’t have much interest in hearing how he reads “I think” and “I believe” of the paper.  He looked very much like someone who haven’t written those notes…
  • John Edwards.  This is the case of one picture being a thousand words. It’s much easier and faster to say “I don’t believe that guy” after taking half a second look at him, than listening to an hour of him talking.

Politics, technology, economics

I came across this wonderful quote at Doc Searls blog:

I can tell you that there are two things nearly every congressperson does not understand. One is economics. The other is technology. Now proceed.

This explains so many flaming discussions at Slashdot

Comedy Central’s shows online

Posted in All on October 23rd, 2005 · 7 Comments

Comedy Central started to publish some of their shows online. And not only that - they’ve added an RSS feed for all of us outside the US television coverage to catch the shows on time. I haven’t yet seen all of the clips, but I already came across a few that are hilarious. Knock yourself out!
