It's Valentine's Day, but also a Queer sort of day.
Am not feeling well at all, and am taking ibuprofen, drinking much fluids, and occasionaly taking some guanifesin to clear my lungs.
The tide sways back and forth (so to speak) on these matters:
- The progression of the Democratic Presidential Primary '08
- The outcome of Microsoft's desire to buyout Yahoo!
At first the news articles were writing that Barack Obama was getting a great deal of momentum to be chosen as the Democratic contender, following this past weekend's primaries. Now some of the news stories are describing the mudslinging Hillary Clinton is continuing to throw more and more upon Obama.
These news stories readily bring out the poll numbers that Clinton is currently ahead of Obama in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
I hope that Clinton's mudslinging tactics backfire upon her and that Obama comes out far ahead of her in both these states!
Good luck to him on this, right?
Here in the SF Bay Area, the recent news from the SF Chronicle is 'To escape Microsoft, Yahoo turns to News Corp.'
I'd much rather see Rupert Murdoch's News Corp partner with Yahoo! than Microsoft.
At the very least, this exciting prospect puts an enourmous amount of pressure upon Microsoft to either up its per-share offer for Yahoo! or else lose the deal to MS's advantage. A great advantage for News Corp is that Yahoo's Web 2.0 resources and ad market would get under the aegis of News Corp instead of under the cloud of Microsoft with its competing stake in Facebook, see article Microsoft Fires Volley At Google in Ad Battle, (happens to be published in the Wall Street Journal... owned by News Corp!)
