Deus Ex remembered…
Gametap has written a loving ode to one of the best games ever released on any platform. Nothing since has topped the pure joy and quality of Deus Ex. I always list as my number 1 in any best of games list I do. There are efforts to make a second sequel; lets hope its better than the rather lame second one.

Prediction…for tickets…
I suspect that Obama will not win the nomination of his party. However I think its highly likely he will be the VP candidate for the Democrats. It would be unwise for the Democrats to ignore his draw and charisma. Let’s face it Obama does not have the experience to be the President. And style over substance is not a bad thing for the VP.
On the Republicans side whomever the nominee is will try for Condi Rice or Colin Powell to have a minority as VP. Of course the best choice would be J C Watts, but they never seem to consider him. If the Republicans had a decent minority VP candidate it would be rather wise. Two white men probably would not be wise.
No commentsSTFU Beckham
My wife is not impressed by the recent statements from David Beckham praising Gordon Brown. Don’t you just love it when someone not living in the country, someone who is earning over a hundred million dollars praises the state of play?
No commentsPaul the anti-semite?
Of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a newsletter said, “Whether it was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little.”
Laurence has discovered this dozy from Ron Paul. Can we now say that Paul, who hangs around with jew-haters like Lew Rockwell, is an anti-semite?

Obummed and Huckabomb more like…
Well no one should be took shocked that McCain took new Hampshire if they were paying attention. Its good to see the pollsters got it so wrong with Obama losing to Clinton. What is more enjoyable is to see that Iowa are just as full of it as many of us thought they were. It would be so wonderful if neither of their choices won the White House. Then maybe they will go the way of Wyoming and no one will give a toss about the state in politics.
How many bloggers and pollsters are looking foolish now because they bought into the Obama hype? Key thing…Obama supporters were young and we all know how lazy young voters are; especially when its bloody cold outside.
BTW they should have listened or read me. I didn’t believe that NH voters were dumb enough to fall for the hype about either Obama or Huckabee.
No commentsElection Day Observations
I finally got the chance to exercise my Constitutional rights and vote in the New Hampshire Primary, 2008 Edition.
When I dropped Beezlebub at the middle school at 6:55 this morning there was already a line of people waiting outside for the polls to open. That’s the first time I’ve seen that in a very long time. Maybe it was the warm January Thaw weather. Maybe it was the two close races Republican and Democrat. Maybe it was a little of both that has turned out a large number of voters.
When I returned to the middle school after work to vote, there was quite a long line waiting to enter the gymnasium, where the voting booths and checklist tables were set up. Once through the door the single line split into four lines, divided alphabetically in order to make it easier for voters to check in and pick up their ballots. Another line that had a large number of people waiting in line was for those wishing to register to vote.
There were a larger number of younger voters than I have seen in a number of years, which pleased me to no end.
New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner expects a record turnout, stating he thought that 500,000 New Hampshire residents would vote today.
Even as I write this WMUR-TV reports that there’s still long lines of voters all throughout the state waiting to cast their ballots before polls close tonight.
