Good news/Bad news
Good news - for everyone - I think I'm gonna start posting more non-politics stuff. For example, videos of cool things, like this.
Mindrelic - Manhattan in motion from Mindrelic on Vimeo.
In other words, "I <3 NY" and whatnot.
Bad new - also for everyone - the economy is really doing poorly and everyone in Washington is focused on the deficit, which does about zero for fostering economic growth today (it affects things like 10 years from now).

I'm downgrading Obama's reelection chances, like, majorly. Sorry folks! It's kind of funny to do considering his poll numbers are basically the highest they've been in his presidency (honeymoon period don't count for nuthin).
But much more worrying are basically every economic indicator we've got. Home prices are still falling, and the economy is "sputtering" (economic term for being shitty). That sucks. And it's the number one threat to his reelection - unemployment rate <8% = reelection, unemployment rate >9% = no reelection. Maybe. Something like that. Anyway, things look real bad, and Republicans have zero plans to help out on jobs. They literally had a 10 page long plan with size TWENTY FOUR font. That's bigger than this by about 3x.
And, shocker, the plan is to cut taxes, even though we have a giant deficit and historically low taxes already.
