John Cusack or President

John Cusack: On Bush, the Dems, Jon Stewart, Hunter Thompson, Bill Moyers, and King (not Don) | The Huffington Post:

"'One of the biggest changes in politics in my lifetime is that the delusional is no longer marginal. It has come in from the fringe, to sit in the seat of power in the Oval Office and in Congress. For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington. Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true; ideologues hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. When ideology and theology couple, their offspring are not always bad but they are always blind. And there is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts.'"

FLIPBOOK!

People are now making flipbooks on the web.

I see pages tagged by people

Business 2.0, The Flickrization of Yahoo:

"The Flickrizers' most ambitious goal is to turn Web searching itself into a social event -- the idea being that you can find what you're looking for faster if you first see pages saved and tagged by people you know and trust. Done well, it could play as the triumph of the humans over Google's cold mechanical approach."

Netvibes is kinda like My Yahoo! or whatever they are calling the personal Google page, but at first glance, it's seems more like I own it.

My netvibes page has a few RSS feeds, search, Flickr photos and soon, a To Do list.

I'd like to share my personal netvides page with you though.

Update: Direct Shipment of Wine in Massachusetts

John from Belchertown writes in with an update on what happened yesterday:

Good grief -- did you see that H 4498 apparently passed both the house and senate on 11/17/05, with various unspecified amendments? (This is per the bill history at www.mass.gov.) I may or may not have supported H 4498, but I'm somewhat flabergasted that after literally years of various direct shipping bills languishing in the general court, H 4498 passed within several days and without the possibility of any sort of meaningful input from us consumers. (The text of H 4498, even as proposed, is still not avialable on the state's website, near as I can figure.) Frankly, I've found this whole process rather bizarre and disheartening. Let's just hope H 4498, however it turned out, is reasonable.

Budweiser at Gary's Liquors $85 per bottle

I was at Gary's Liquors and saw a special bottle of Budweiser on sale for $85 per bottle. I checked a few bottles nad they were all marked the same price.

I came home and found it online, Budweiser's Brew Masters' Private Reserve:

"The first beer comes out of a long tradition among A-B brewmasters. They would make a special beer for themselves out of the 'first wort,' the first batch of liquid strained from the mash of malt and other grains.

Brewed from the richest part of the mash, the resulting beer has a stronger malt and hop flavor than other A-B products, said Guillermo Moscoso, staff brewmaster. It also has a higher alcohol content at 8.5 percent alcohol by volume.

'It's more in line with a European beer than an American lager,' he said.

The Brew Masters' Private Reserve is bottled in a 46.5-ounce 'magnum' bottle."

That works out to $1.83 per ounce. Seems high for a Bud.

Update:
Just got back from Gary's Liquors. I bought a bottle! But it was $13.49. $85 was the case price.

Taste test result later...
