1. Buchanan on Palin:

   Liberals howl that Palin has no experience, no qualifications to be president of the United States. But the lady has more executive experience than McCain, Joe Biden and Obama put together.
   
   None of them has ever started or run a business as Palin did. None of them has run a giant state like Alaska, which is larger than California and Texas put together. And though Alaska is not populous, Gov. Palin has as many constituents as Nancy Pelosi or Biden.

   And her experience as governor of Alaska, dealing with the oil industry and pipeline agreements with Canada, certainly compares favorably with that of Barack Obama, a community organizer who dealt in the mommy issues of food stamps and rent subsidies.

   Quick fact check... Alaska is more populous than Pelosi's district but less populous than Delaware, Biden's state, according to Wikipedia.

Hating ASP.NET again

The more I use ASP.NET, the more I can't stand it. I'm using the ASP.NET Ajax stuff and it'd be so much faster if I just did everything "manually" rather than navigating this maze of UpdatePanels and RegisterClientScriptBlocks and AsyncPostBackTriggers.

Web apps are just XmlHttpRequest + some JSON and CSS and DOM manipulation. I already know all that stuff. Why does Microsoft fail so hard at simplification that they make it more complex?
