Joeanne,

The political scandals in Chicago have as little to do with Barack Obama as I’m sure any crime or scandal in your home town have to do with you. The fact that Obama is a politician from Illinois does not mean he’s tainted by the crimes or corruption of other politicians from Illinois.

I certainly agree with you that being black does not make a president. I’m a white male, and my decision to vote for Obama had nothing to do with race. Obama gives me hope because of his message, his vision for America, and his ability to inspire. It is to be seen whether his inspiration and leadership will affect Congress, which has had many, many years of poor to mediocre sessions.

Well written but I find little hope in our new president and democratic congress. For the last two years of “W’s” presidency, the democratic congress has done little to help reverse some very difficult problems. We are just getting into the “OBAMA” presidency and the corruption scandals from his hometown have already started. By the way, I am a black hispanic with immigrant parents. Being black doesn’t make a president.

Very well written, Tim; I could not agree more.

I speak as a new immigrant, who has put a lot of hopes into this country. When we came here 9 years ago with hopes for a better life, we were just in time to see the end of the golden years, and the beginning of a total decline in whatever I believed the United States stood for. Yes, the bar really tipped and we went to record deficits, to unnecessary wars, to total ignorance and denial of changing climactic conditions, to the US losing credibility and respect with the rest of the world.. the list is endless.

And now, at last after 8 long years, at last there is real hope in my heart that change WILL be brought about. And yet, I fear that the damage may be irreversible…

I agree completely. Just tried it and am having a *ball* with the wallpaper clocks.

I DL’d it for free, full version, here:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/chameleon-clock/

but it is free *today only* at GiveAway of the Day, which is a great site with a free software every day (“absolutely free. That means – not a trial, not a limited version – but a registered and legal version of the software will be free for our visitors”.)
You just have to download AND install on that one day, because they change it each day. No spyware or anything either.
A lot of the time it is more technical programs that I as a casual user don’t need, but often there is fun stuff like the above.

Comment on Danny Vinik: Boston’s answer to Steve Bartman by Tim

Read my post carefully and you’ll see that, not only do I not pick on Steve Bartman, I point out that getting his hand on that ball was only one of the events that occurred in that Cubs loss. Frankly, it was not nearly as costly as Alex Gonzales’ error, and yet no one remembers that, just as no one recalls the events that lead up to Bill Buckner’s error in the 1986 World Series.

I feel wretched for Steve Bartman. Had that ball been two rows down, it would have been a different Cubs fan who reached for the ball. Two rows up and it would have been out of Alou’s reach. Bad luck.

You know – I know Steve Bartman. He is a really nice and decent guy – except for being a cubs fan. People should leave him a lone. The Sox should have bought him a mansion….
