I feel bad for the employees, and reduced competition is never good for the consumer, but it's hard to feel sorry for a company whose CEO lent a private jet to Newt Gingrich in the early 90s.

(Yes, I'm still bitter; I'm expecting to feel better Tuesday afternoon)

Sensing a trend. Newt/Circuit City. Bush/Enron. I'm sure it's purely coincidental.

That's a bummer, but I guess I'll be checking out my local ones for good deals.

Huh. So companies that try to court favors and game the system end up doing worse in the long run than companies that try to compete in the marketplace?

if they could compete, they wouldn't need to court favors.

Circuit City's website is down, saying they're updating to provide new deals. I'm sad to see it going down, but I never loved the setup of their physical stores.

In completely unrelated news, did we know that infocom has the three Zorks available for free download? [link]

Calling all detectives.

Our dear Deena and I are caught up in a mystery.

She has set up my website in Wordpress. For quite a quite a while, easy peasy.

Over the last couple of days, I've been trying to make changes to the site but can't get in with my login. Deena has gone in and changed the password back to an old one we have used.

SHE can get into the account, but I cannot, usig the same info. I have tried IE, firefox and safari.

I get an error message saying I am not using the right password or that I'm not accepting cookies when I am.

Any ideas for remedies?

eta: Okay, weirder symptom. I got an email about a broken link and was able to follow it into my wordpress admin functions. But I still can't get in through a regular login.

???

BSG in HD = AWESOME.
