Thinking about things

  I been getting a few phone calls.  I have been polled three times.  They were political polls.  I have received two calls from groups.  One was the ACLU.  They wanted me to join and donate $50.00 and the other was a green orgaziation wanting to connect me with the office of my congressman to tell them not to drill.
  It has been rare for my phone to ring.  My ex-wife calls just about each day but other than her my phone gets no calls. 
  I could not afford to join the ACLU.  I have been a member in the past and will support them again when I can afford it.  (Membership is $20.00 a year.)
  These people got my number from some protest that I signed up for on line.  I am not sure which one.  I suspect I am going to get a lot of calls between now and November.

  I do not like posting political stuff here on Howard's Notebook.  I am sure you do not like it.  You do not need me preaching to you.  I can not help myself I see something and get so pissed I just have to blog about it. 
  I have a number of blogs.  I need to find one and put all the political crap on it.  I just have to pick one and then the hard part is remembering to post the stuff on it and not here.  Now some of the funny videos I would still post here.
  Do not give up on me.  I am trying to get my raving and rantings off of here.  It would help if the candidates would run better campaigns.  The only candidate that I like a great deal is Joe Biden.

  I been playing Civilization IV for hours and hours each day.  I like it now.
  I am spending too much time playing the game.   

  I am starting to use Windows less and Ubuntu (Linux) more.  I can not play Civilization IV when I run Linux and that keeps me from wasting a lot of time.  Ubuntu will be out with an upgrade soon.  I am looking forward to it.  I recommend Ubuntu Linux.
