Why Tuesday?

I watched this video in amazement. Colonial Williamsburg has an "actor" playing Thomas Jefferson. He was interviewed as TJ in character.

Now I ask you why can't our president be this coherent!!!????

The video below is a longer version of the TJ interview as presented on Rocketboom.



Below is a shorter version mixed with Why Tuesday details.

And finally, here is some interesting reading on how the Constitution defines the election of a president and vice president. (The 12th Amendment to the Constitution). You can see how this was used in "the 1824 scenario" within the information about presidential elections

Just thought you might be interested, if you made it this far.

BTW, since you are still reading... do you know how many times the president was elected without having a majority of the votes? We remember the election of 2000, but did you know that similar ones occurred throughout our history? Take a look at the election results chart on the presidential elections reference noted above.

Enjoy!

A long time ago, in a galaxy.... no wait this is an ad for digital....

A very long time ago I used to be a computer geek using DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) equipment. Later simply known as "digital", they had advertisements for all aspects of their company. You may recall seeing their ads on PBS. They were famous for sponsoring those shows.

But I digress...

I was recently reminded of one of their ads via a post on AdMBlog.

Take a look.



Along with many other companies from that time, digital on longer exists. Consumed by others, their ideas and products seem to have been tossed on the wind... there will once again come a new renaissance.
