THE QUICK BROWSE FIREFOX JUMPED OVER THE
LAZY BLOG*
The new Quickbrowse for Firefox is up at quickbrowse.com, together with a one-minute
demo video. Because it’s integrated as a
Firefox add-on, it works with almost all Web sites – saving
time by combining any sites you visit daily into a single combined page. All free, of course.
* It occurs to me some of you –
perhaps most of you – may have no idea what this headline refers
to. And I’m curious to know. So here is the world’s shortest
(one-question) survey – designed with SurveyMonkey.com
in two minutes – to find out. Please

to let me know. Thanks!
WHAT NOW?
Jill: “What is the DNC
going to do to solve the Florida/Michigan problem that its rules contributed to?”
F We're going to do the only possible
thing: Stick to the rules (unless both
campaigns agree on how they’d like them changed).
These are rules
everyone agreed to before the game started – and before anyone knew which
states (if any) would break them or which candidates would thereby be
disadvantaged.
The rules do
allow either state to do a re-vote . . . the DNC can’t
force them to – or not to.
Here’s the background
posted a few weeks ago.
But here’s the
thing to focus on: we have two superb candidates. The Democratic turnout has been amazing. If we keep our eye on the ball – and come
together when the primary is over, as our two candidates have pledged to do,
regardless of the outcome – we will win the White House in November, widen our
hair-thin majority in the Senate, stanch the rightwing slide of the Judiciary,
and begin to get America back on a progressive, hopeful track.
It would have
been good to have the the presumptive nominee sooner. But June – the likely endpoint – is time
enough. That’s when Bill Clinton
clinched it in 1992.
NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT
Can I say one
thing? Every time I hear one or the
other of the two candidates confirm that Barack
is not a Muslim, I keep expecting them to say, “Not that there’s anything wrong with being Muslim. The vast majority of America’s
millions of Muslims are hard-working, patriotic, tax-paying citizens like the
rest of us.” Maybe that goes without
saying – but I thought I’d say it anyway.
