Battery Life
June 24th, 2008Forgive me for the absence yesterday, dear reader, but I am in Indiana to support my cousin in his Little League playoffs and their Internet is beyond working for me without a hassle. I’ll be back home tomorrow evening, so expect more thorough posts then, but right now I am going to comment on the Zimbabwe elections, where Mugabe has run the opposition candidate out of the race and into the Dutch Embassy for fear of his life. If there were any justice in Zimbabwe then Mugabe would be in prison and the people of that country could start to recover from their leveled economy. But fear not, dear reader: the election is going on despite the opposition withdrawing.
How democratic is that!
In more interesting news, John McCain has offered a three hundred million dollar prize to any person or company who discover a next-generation hybrid battery that can work for all of us. Obama calls it a “gimmick.” I disagree. It is a great idea worthy of much applause, and it is largely receiving it.
