If you’re reading this, you probably already know who you’re going to vote for. Maybe it’s a Democrat, maybe it’s a Republican. Maybe you want to vote for a Tea Party or Green party candidate. And why not? God knows there’s a lot to be upset about.
You probably recall the Great Recession of 2009, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Bank Bailout and the Stimulus. Oh, and in 2010 the federal government will run a budget deficit that’s bigger than any year except for 2009. So what do we do now? How can we make stuff better? What would improve the U.S.? Why should we vote, and who should we vote for?
I’m going to pretend that you don’t know the answer.

Sparrow - The New Mail for Mac
If you use Gmail and have a Mac, you might like Sparrow, a Mail application that runs Gmail on your Mac. It’s simple and fast and sort of a combination of the best parts of Gmail and the best parts of Apple’s Mail program.
If you don’t use Gmail, you should start using Gmail.

I want a president who can acknowledge error, is not cocooned, can speak publicly about this, and is unafraid of self-criticism. Isn’t that why so many of us supported him in the first place?
