Freedom: Pelosi Shuts down Debate
- Tue 6 Jan 2009, |

If you know me, you know I love debating the issues in a civil and well reasoned manner. The Dems crown of three-branch power is still steaming ripe and here we go with Kremlin style politics. Cheers! (from FRC)... So much for a spirit of bipartisanship. While President-elect Obama pledged to make the government "open" and "transparent," House Democrats are making it virtually impossible for him to keep that promise. Today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) kicked off the 111th Congress by stripping Republicans of any input in the legislative process. By a vote of 242 to 181, Democrats reversed a set of fairness rules that dated back to Newt Gingrich's Contract with America. As a result of the vote, House Republicans can no longer offer substantive alternatives, propose certain amendments to Democratic bills, or force a free and open debate. >> | Read / Add Comments (0) |

Experiment: Currency Split
- Fri 2 Jan 2009, |

So I see in the news today the Democrats want $1 Trillion (what is that, 12 zeros?) to spend on their socialist schemes. Here's an idea. Let them. Let them print their own D$ (Dem Dollars). The Republicans can do the same with p$('pub Dollars - to keep the catchy name appeal going). Businesses can start converting their money to D$ or p$ and their employees can decide to accept the denomination of their preferred affiliation or demand their employer back the proper currency. Products and services can be made available in one or the other or both. Public demand for the currency of the party will determine the failure or success, as well as ability to screw with tax-payers, of the given party. >> | Read / Add Comments (2) |

CSS3: Alpha Shading
- Thu 1 Jan 2009, |

Works with: Firefox 3, Safari for Mac. Any other browser this just isn't as pretty.
Alpha shading has come a long way over the years. For the laymen, that's the transparency (or conversely, amount of opacity) of an object. With the CSS style selector opacity: 0.7 you would set something to 70% opaque. If you apply this to a container, the entire contents are now at this level of transparency, not always the effect desired. What if you want just the background to be transparent or just the text? >> | Read / Add Comments (0) |
