>>>Did you catch that brief shot during the Super Bowl of John Madden sitting next to President Bush, with Laura on Bush's other side? Madden was texting a message on his cell phone! Now maybe they had been sitting there for eons and had run out of things to talk about, but it seems to me if you are sitting next to someone of that historical stature you should turn the phone off and give him your full attention.

>>Bush was probably more excited to be sitting with Madden at the Superbowl than visa versa. President Bush is a baseball guy, anyway. Surprised Condi wasn't sitting next to Madden. She's the rabid football fan. ( she'd also be a good one for Goodell to bring in as mediator to get the labor agreement settled. <g> )

>>( Madden was probably texting to the Fox camera crew saying "Hey, get a shot of me and the Bushes ! " )

>>Pleased to see young Barbara Bush actually come out for gay marriage. She's her namesake's grand-daughter, for sure.

>>How's the Pluralsight going? Have you had a chance to look at the Julie Lerman EF stuff yet?

>Yes, I have. I am reading her book as well as exploring DevForce. In the next day or two I am going to start a small learning app based on the Northwind database. I am putting faith in some folks who know more about it than I do and placing a bet on EF. Also WPF. Those companies with .NET developer needs aren't going to know what hit them ;-)

>Re Barbara Bush the younger, yes, that was cool. I don't know whether she is gay or not and don't care. It's good that she spoke her mind. (What did amuse me was when one of Dick Cheney's daughters came out as a lesbian. That must be what gave him one of his heart attacks, LOL).
Think BB is straight, just works in design in NYC so she just *might* have some gay friends <s>
Cheney's daughter came out publicly sometime in Bush's 1st term, and if I'm not mistaken Cheney has been very supportive and even came out for gay marriage.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
