Ramblings

After all the platitudes about a new day in D.C. the reality is it is business as usual. Take the appointment of Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary. Congress is more fixated on fixing the economy than a high standard for political appointees. Tax evasion is tax evasion even after one allegedly just discovers the problem and pays the taxes and penalty. And I don't hear President Mr. Clean commenting at all!!! Guess it's OK for Tim but the rest of us loose jobs and go to jail.

I learned today that a friend of mine, a 14 year employee of Microsoft, has been terminated with 4,999 others. I guess you can't cure a bad product by throwing $300 million at advertising. Too bad 5,000 people have to suffer because Microsoft rushed a turkey to market! With no new products in the pipeline except the fix to Vista, Windows 7, there will likely be more pain in Redmond!
