Doonesbury Say What?

"Right now, we've had one party control all aspects of our government, and the result of that is that the American people have only gotten one side of a lot of issues...There are going to be a number of investigations or oversight committee actions, trying to get to the facts."
— Rep. Lamar Smith, of his intentions on becoming head of the House Judiciary Committee

Let's see. Since 1964, the administrations have been, starting with Nixon's first term: Republican, Republican, Democratic, R, R, R, D, D, R, R, D. That makes it 7 to 4, R over D, I'm not sure which party controlled Congress over those years or when it was split. All I can do is quote Dire Straits: When you point your finger 'cause your plans fell through, you got three more fingers, pointing back at you." People who live in grass huts shouldn't store thrones, or something like that.

When shopping online for loans or credit cards, be aware of what browser you're using!

"Someone wrote in to The Consumerist to report an interesting discovery: while shopping online for a car loan, Capital One offered him different rates, depending on the browser he used! Firefox yielded the highest rate at 3.5%, Opera took second place with 3.1%, Safari was only 2.7%, and finally, Google's Chrome browser afforded him the best rate of all: 2.3%!"

I can't say that I shop for interest rates on line, but definitely something to be aware of. There's LOTS of different browsers out there, I have five loaded on my Mac for web site testing.
