Democratic Convention in Idaho Falls
I will state once again I believe power is corrupting, the majority party will always become mired in scandal (doesn’t matter if it is the Democratic or Republican party), and the way to get the most use and mileage out of our candidates is to upset their power balances every four years. I believe politicians [...]
Launch Adobe PDF Files Faster
Adobe PDF files are great, universal, and used everywhere. The problem is they can take 10-30 seconds to launch, and sometimes even crash your computer! The solution is to stop most of the optional plug-ins (extras) from loading, and PDF documents will then launch much faster.

Republican Convention Votes to Close Primaries
Republicans attending the Idaho Falls convention debated whether to keep primaries open or closed. Currently Idaho primaries are open, so anyone can vote among other Democratic or Republican candidates. A closed primary would only allow people registered with a particular party to be able to vote among that party’s primary candidates.
The debate and vote represented [...]
Idaho Congressmen and Senators speak at Republican Convention
Senator Mike Crapo summarized a Wall Street Journal article that acknowledged President Bush has led America through the most ‘vitriolic’ attacks any president has endured and yet he stayed the course. Crapo said Republicans need to support the party, that Washington is in a battle for power, that clashing of ideas gives strength to America, [...]
Observations on last day of Republican Convention
I arrived early to Saturday’s general session. Mike Adams graciously introduced me to Representative Tom Loertscher and then Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, both of whom I briefly interviewed. I will post the interviews later.
The general session started 15 minutes late to accommodate late arrivals. The greenbelt marathon blocked a freeway exit for many convention [...]
