There’s a plugin for that – why WordPress is cheap and easy

WordPress is designed to make it as simple to manage a website as it is to send an email. And it works. The continual updates and upgrades to the WordPress core continue daily through the community of WP developers and contributors who each contribute their own corrections and enhancements to be approved by the community for inclusion in future upgrades. This keeps the application growing and advancing to keep up pace with changing technology and needs.

The cost to upgrade? The same as the cost to purchase WordPress … ZERO. It is open source, a word highly offensive to companies especially like Apple and Microsoft. What is missing from WordPress that companies like that would provide if they owned the rights? Fees, snotty service and miscomprehended service manuals. Read more at thekencook.com

It's not just gas prices - look at FOOD prices

Seriously, you think things are "okay"? You think the economy is stabilized and "acceptable"? For those of us who remember the run-up under the Carter administration after the housing bubble popped and mortgage interest rates soared to 20% we know this looks and feels very similar.



Gas was about 50-60 cents a gallon before the crash and skyrocketed to $1.20 or more during Carter's "reign". Of course it never went back down after the crisis was over.



Gas prices may be headed to $4 a gallon under lord Obama but that's not the dangerous part. Food prices are up double percentage points just since Obama took office and there is no sign they are slowing down ... "costs will necessarily skyrocket" Obama said of his Cap and Trade plan before he was elected.

Internet ID Cards issued to US citizens?

Under the quise of "making it simpler" just how far will the Department of Homeland Security go with this one? Watch their words. It's rarely what they say it will be. Don't forget, Napolitano reportedly now wants TSA type security checkpoints at malls and Walmart.
