Was just reading about Gov. Palin and the various responses to her being named to the ticket. Apparently there was literal laughter in many news rooms when the announcement hit the wires.
Skeletons are falling out of this woman’s closet at a rate not seen since Oingo Boingo’s last reunion tour.
Is her youngest child really her oldest daughter’s child? Did she use her power as Governor to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from the State Police? Did she have city workers who opposed her re-election fired?
I can’t believe they didn’t vet this woman properly. Then, I stumble on this little gem:

When I first got into this “business” my friend and I were using a computer that his mom had brought home from work while she was on leave. It was a Compaq portable much like this one:
It had with it a 300 baud modem like the ones from War Games, much like this one:
It would take about an hour to download a 1 megabyte file with this contraption. We thought we were on the cutting edge of technology.
This evening, just for fun, I did a speed test on my internet connection. Details are below, but for those of you who are not tech geeks, I’ll translate. With that connection speed, I’m downloading at about 2.5 megabytes per minute. That’s a far cry from the “old” days of 1 megabyte per hour, and that’s really cool.
Can’t wait to see what I’m writing about in ten years, or where I’ll be writing it.
