Nice, msbelle!
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

When universal health care kicks in, where are we going to get enough doctors to treat them all?"
OK one difference between us and the UK in 1948 is the huge time sink handling insurance company bullshit is for doctors. Get single payer health care or something that saves a comparable amount of red tape, and the admin time saved can make up for the increase number of patients.

Crap, now the buttons are sporadically acting up -- not responding or sticking down. And the pointer is flying around some on its own. I realize I should be doing this in Tech, but is there anything I can do about this?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Since my secret identity is "Keyboard Killer," I don't have much to offer, except that all you can do is let it dry and that does often work. From my own experience, I can tell you that using a hairdryer can help, unless you let it get too hot (How I killed one keyboard). You can use rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to clean and dry it out, unless you start congratulating yourself for saving the keyboard and then hit the alcohol bottle with your elbow and drench the keyboard. (Another one bites the dust.) It is easy to pop the keys to clean under them, except that I have broken bits of keys doing that. I've also fixed keyboards doing that.
The moral of this story: Don't let me near your keyboard.

President Obama is just so happy! And comfortable! In all the photos, you get the feeling he's pretty unselfconscious, and wouldn't care if you caught him making a goofy face.

Heh, Ginger. I will try to wait and see and not freak out. Of course I don't have any rubbing alcohol in the house (and the only vodka is vanilla!), so anything active will have to wait until tomorrow, I guess....

Don't use the vanilla vodka!
Tomorrow - turn it off, wipe it down well with rubbing alcohol, and let it dry before turning it back on.

And he thinks his wife is really, really nifty. I wonder if he was saying, "Can I grab you and really kiss you?" "Not in front of the Secret Service!"
