| Gore Wins the Norwegian Primary
Having now won the Norwegian Primary, it is reasonable to ask why Al Gore would want to slog his way through the snows of New Hampshire. But the inconvenient truth is that never has the man who might yet be president needed to more seriously consider his personal legacy — not to mention the small matter of his potential to make the world anew — than now. There is, after all, the matter of the open space at the end of what is now the most remarkable resume of anyone seeking — or considering seeking — the presidency. Let's review. This is how Al Gore's resumé reads as of this morning: Son of a great senator. Harvard graduate, with honors. Vietnam veteran. Award-winning investigative journalist.
The Ron Paul "Surge"
They go to every Internet presidential poll and vote for him repeatedly and then insist that America is madly in love with the man, because he won a poll they rigged by mobbing it. Paul is a congressman from Texas who calls himself a Republican but is more of a neo-libertarian. Libertarianism, in a nutshell, is basically an extreme form of right wing old-style, Herbert Hoover Republicanism. It is kind of an untenable anachroniusm given the complexities of today's society and it almost borders on anarchism. It is similar to pre-1960's isolationist, laissez-faire Republicanism a-la-'John Birch' in equating being 'constitutionalist' with being as reactionary as possible in a strict homegrown sense, without the frills of foreign interventionism or domestic government intervention in establishing a social safety net for levelling inequalities sufferred by the average worker, the poor, the vulnerable and the elderly.

Vista SP1 beta brings changes to search function
Defragment your hard drive) now lets you choose which volumes to defragment. In addition, if you use BitLocker for encryption, you can also choose which drives to encrypt. SP1 aims at performance and stability improvements, including faster browsing of network shares. On my test machine, though, the beta unaccountably won't allow me to browse to another Vista PC on my network. I can browse XP machines with no problem, but not my other Vista PC. Odder still is that I can make a remote desktop connection to take over my other Vista PC using remote control, but I can't browse the PC using Windows Explorer or the Network Map. On my test machine, installation of SP1 went smoothly, if slowly; it took about an hour and fifteen minutes on my 1.83GHz Core Duo laptop. The machine rebooted several times, and did so automatically, requiring no intervention after installation began.
Swedes assess U.S. political process
America is a very important power in world politics, in defining a lot of things that happen globally, so we are very worried about another irresponsible president like George W. Bush." So said Bengt Lindahl, a 67-year-old Swede who, with his wife and daughter, got a front-row look at politics U.S.-style last weekend. In Burlington visiting acquaintances, the Lindahls heard Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois make a final pitch to local Democrats for the party's nomination. Afterward they assessed the speech, the Iowa caucuses and what next November's general election means on the global stage. Their insights, now that the candidates have moved on to New Hampshire, provide an outsider's perspective on the history that just happened. "What you do is important for the world," Bengt Lindahl said.
