In a speech Wednesday night, Karl Rove said, “Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.”

I’m not going to deconstruct the layers of lies in that statement.

I’ll just point out that Bush (and Rove) saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to attack Iraq.

I have been drooling and dreaming of a nice Mac system for a couple of years now. Because I wanted to torture myself, I thought I would fill up a cart with some great stuff with no regard for money and this is what I came up. Click the pic for a larger view.

I know thought a lot of folks have been talking about customers waiting for the Intel-based Macs to come out before buying one. I could see that being a point. I wonder how the prices for these models will be affected as we move closer to the Mactel release date sometime next year. Maybe then I might actually be able to afford something like this without having to sell a kidney.

For those of you who bought Macs for yourself, how did you justify the increased cost over a PC? Is the operating system that much better? I have a feeling that most people who use Macs are using them at work or for work even if they are at home. I honestly wonder how many people are choosing Macs as their primary home machine and paying for it out of their own pocket.
