When Did DIGG Turn Into An Obama-Biden LoveFest?

Of the top 10 stories on DIGG, 7 are pro Obama and anti-McCain. I'm pleased to see that 1 is a pro Ron Paul story. Now I know how all those people felt when the Paulites took over Digg.

Check out these current DIGG titles. I'll be happy when DIGG goes back to the nerd crowd (will it ever??)

"Red State vs. Blue State" Is Designed To Control Your Political Choice

If you haven't figured it out yet, the whole Red vs. Blue concept is a media ploy designed to make you feel that there are only two political choices out there: RED or BLUE.

The truth is, that Red Vs. Blue is the media's own concoction (specifically Tim Russert's) designed to limit the choices they need to cover. They don't have to worry about covering too many political conventions for example, because after all, there's only the Red one and the Blue one.

Resist the media's attempt to dumb down the American political process.

Economy In Peril - Starbucks Goes For The Hard-Sell

You Know the economy is in trouble when Starbucks resorts to the hard-sell. I was at a Starbucks a week ago and as I was getting ready to pay for my latte, the 'barrista' told me that I could get the coffee "for free" if I bought a pound of coffee. I said no thanks, and then he proceeded to try to hard-sell me the coffee by asking me over and over if I was interested. At one point he even offered to "send the coffee to the troops" if I wasn't interested in using it myself. This is the sort of BS that really annoys me. If Starbucks thinks it would be a good idea to send some free coffee to the troops, then they should do it. They're in a much better position to do so than me. But, oh yeah...this was about increasing their profit, not doing something 'for the troops'. Using 'the troops' to make a sale is just distasteful.

Annoying your customers who want to buy something from you is a really bad idea. Just ask Radio Shack.
