 Need a new Computer or Electronic?
Need a new Computer or Electronic?
I don't remember where I got this url from and just went to check it out today. No frills on the graphic end of this site, just straight text. It's like a stock market of prices for computer and electronic equipment. Shows a link and whether the price just went up or down. Mostly computers and electronics (and accessories for those items) but just found a great deal on a canon lens! picked by dollyllama 1 year ago

 John McClane For President 2008
John McClane For President 2008
Yeah, I've been on the fence, unable to pick a candidate for the office of POTUS. Now, that has changed. This nation does need change. Change that only a man like John McClane can offer.

That is John McClane - not John McCain. Yippie-kay-yay America! picked by 2manyusernames 6 months ago

 Vice President Sarah Palin : President Palin in 4-8 years
Vice President Sarah Palin : President Palin in 4-8 years
This could make things quite interesting indeed. McCain has announced that Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin is his Vice Presidential choice. This really is an ideal candidate for him. Could help with the Hillary voters, she's younger and has a lot of supporters even outside her state. Even many democrats like her. picked by 2manyusernames 3 months ago
