First off, for those who didn't know: It doesn't matter what kind of speaker cables, HDMI cables, composite cables or any other audio/visual cables you use -- they're all basically the same. Don't buy into the hype -- for 99 percent of uses you won't be able to tell the $100 cables from the $10 […]
Color me confused. For the second time this presidential primary season, Democrats gathered Sunday night at a forum where they each spent better than 30 minutes talking about their faith.

The Union-Tribune's bi-monthly book sale for charity netted me former CBS newsman Bernard Goldberg's latest book "Crazies to the left of me; Wimps to the right" in paperback. The book is a quick, breezy read, that basically lays out Goldberg's personal politics and beliefs. Republicans, and even Joe Lieberman-style Democrats will find much to agree […]
You know the Democrats have gone way out on a limb when The New York Times editorial page says the Democratic Congress should approve the Colombian free trade agreement.

Al Gore gave an update of his bogus "Inconvenient Truth" slideshow presentation at the close of the RSA computer security conference today -- on the condition that the press not be allowed in.
