@davepl1968 I also spent a decade working on UI, although it was at the toolkit level and didn't run in nearly the same number of places as Windows

Just a few places like the the B2 cockpit and the Orion Spacecraft

@ScottAdamsSays I found this signed first edition of the Dilbert Principle at a local store - the signature looks legit but the Dogbert looks a bit rough. Anyone know if it is an authentic Dogbert by Scott or did Dick add that later?

Which amendments if any would you remove from the Constitution if you could…

I'll go first.

I'd repeal the 16th and 17th amendments.

They both significantly undermined federalism and I don't think the modern massive bureaucracy and federal intrusion into every aspect of our lives would be possible without the 16th.

The Penis Poem

My nookie days are over, my pilot light is out. What used to be my sex appeal is now my water spout!

Time was when, on its own, from my trousers it would
spring. But now it’s just a full time job to find the fucking thing.

It use to be embarrassing the way it would behave, for every single morning it would stand and watch me shave!

Now as old age approaches, It sure gives me the blues, to see it hang its little head and watch me tie my shoes!

@BrianRoemmele Near the end of basic training there was off base liberty where everyone got to go into town for the weekend. Just before that the USCG paid everyone in $2 bills. The rumor was it was so we could be identified by our spending in Cape May/Wildwood NJ

Because Jesus didn't sexually abuse an 8 year old.
Because Jesus wasn't a warlord.
Because Jesus didn't kill anyone.
Because Jesus didn't have slaves.
Because Jesus doesn't hate those who aren't Christian.
Because Jesus didn't murder sinners.
Should I go on?

Thank you to everyone who has asked me for my recommendations on the statewide propositions.
YES on 39, 41, 42, 43, 45
NO on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 37, 38, 40, 44

Yes, I'm writing a "Susan does the props" column. Here's a preview:

NO on Prop. 1 - It's $11.25 billion of borrowed money for "affordable housing" that will enrich favored developers and burden taxpayers for decades.

NO on Prop. 2 - A budget shell game to enable spending that the state can't afford.

NO on Prop. 3 - Another permanent extension of "temporary" tax hikes. Just stop with this.

NO on Prop. 4 - Allows taxpayer dollars to be used for political campaigns. Seriously, no.

NO on Prop. 5 - Guts the people's power to recall elected officials by prohibiting a replacement election on the same ballot. Changes the law to allow the ousted official to run in the later special election to fill the office. The legislature put this on the ballot. Of course they did.

(There is no 6 through 36. Don't call the county, your ballot is not missing any pages.)

NO on Prop. 37 - A $25 billion program to fund second mortgages for people who can't come up with a down payment, paid for by the people who get the mortgages. Caps on the income of people who are eligible. Caps on the price of the (newly constructed only) homes/condos they can buy. Goodies for developers who agree to conditions. It's a lot of government effort to push people into having two mortgage payments they're barely able to afford. And then they have to pay HOA fees, property taxes, insurance premiums and utility bills. What could go wrong?

NO on Prop. 38 - This is $8.4 billion of borrowed money for medical research, to be repaid with interest by California taxpayers. The mandated spending split seems designed to benefit the individual who paid to collect the signatures to get it on the ballot.

YES on Prop. 39 - Voter ID. It's long past time for California to join 36 other states and the civilized world in verifying the identity of voters.

NO on Prop. 40 - The "billionaires tax," which has a provision allowing the Legislature to amend it later. Guess why.

YES on Prop. 41 - Requires pre-election audits of programs that would be funded by a proposed special tax. Good idea.

YES on Prop. 42 - Prohibits a tax on retirement accounts and other assets, blocking Prop. 40. Another good idea.

YES on Prop. 43 - Protects taxpayers by making it harder to raise taxes. Restores the required two-thirds vote to pass local special (earmarked) taxes. Closes a court-created loophole that since 2017 has made it easier to pass sales tax increases and other costly taxes. Vote yes to close this loophole.

NO on Prop. 44 - Similar to the kidney dialysis propositions that relentlessly haunted previous ballots, this is an attempt to harass non-unionized clinics.

YES on Prop. 45 - Creates CEQA streamlining for certain types of projects, including single-family home developments and water projects. May also ease the path for some horrific projects, so this one's a mixed bag.

That's the list of propositions that are on your statewide ballot.

A note about the statewide offices:
If you think California is on the wrong track, the two most important offices for fixing the problems are governor and controller.
It will get better if Steve Hilton is elected governor.
It will get better if Herb Morgan is elected controller.
Their opponents really need to get out of the business.

A note about judicial races:
Two recently appointed appellate court justices who recklessly widened the loophole that makes it easier to raise taxes are on the ballot for retention. If you vote in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo counties:
Vote NO to retaining Armen Tamzarian
Vote NO to retaining Audra Mori.
