Listen to his words then. He knew what would happen in Iraq!
While organizing zillions of old photos in iLife ‘08 I came across a pair of photos I took of Tao back when he was about, oh, two years old. I realized that I had taken two almost from the same view because I was manually taking a stereo pair (easy to do, actually).
I put both together yesterday as a cross-eyed pair, which means you have to cross your eyes to form one, stereoscopic image in the middle. Over 80% of people can do it. Can you see Tao in stereo?

The Republican candidates all talk about “tax credits” for getting personal health insurance.
I never understood how this would make private health insurance, which would cost like $6,000 - $9,000 a year for comprehensive coverage for a family of four affordable to an average family who can’t make ends meet already.
Also, I haven’t heard any Republican candidate address the elephant in the room - pre-existing conditions. Unless that is part of the overall solution it isn’t a solution at all as far as I can see.
I’m not a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat by any means. But I don’t see how anybody with the slightest interest in solving the health care issue in the U.S. can even consider voting for a Republican.
