McCain Blogger: D&D players pro-Obama... not chaotic neutral

I just want to eat cold pizza, roll some dice, and drink some beer... so why does everyone want me mad about what some politician said? Apparently one of John McCain's bloggers brought up the issue of unpatriotic Dungeons and Dragons players, and now the community is putting down their Rush tapes and getting angry about the partisan use of their hobby. Dungeons and Dragons isn't Republican or Democrat, it's chaotic neutral! Here's what was said, from McCain's official site:

The real reason Dell might get back into MP3 players

Dell gave up on MP3 players in 2006, after three years of fighting the iPod juggernaut. Initially, Dell's players relied on Musicmatch software for library organization, content syncing, and online music purchases, although they synced with the Windows Media Player as well in case of problems with Musicmatch (which CNET reviewer John Frederick Moore encountered back in 2005 with the flash-based Dell DJ Ditty). The reviews were middling at best, and the players never got much above 3 percent market share.

Do All MP3 Players Sound Alike?

"Recently I read a review of an mp3 player where the author purposely chose not to discuss sound quality because, in the author’s words, 'The chosen player has a great deal to do with how you access your music, but very little to do with how it sounds…' That got me thinking. Do all mp3 players sound alike? They are all digital, so it’s the same 1’s and 0’s playing the music, so how can there be a difference in sound quality? I have tested some mp3 players myself and have noticed drastic differences. I have trouble believing that mp3 players don’t influence sound quality that much. They have different components, circuitry, software and build tolerances, so how can there not be a difference?"

Coker Tire Tour Blog 1: The Coker Tire Tour Kicks Off With A Purpose

Saturday July 12 street rods, customs, street machines and special interest vehicles of all types gathered at the headquarters of Coker Tire in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
