Rick Perry and the Flat Tax
Unlike one of the latest Republican front runners Herman Cain, who wants to ADD taxes with a 9% national sales tax,(since when did adding a new tax become a conservative idea?) Rick Perry is going with a straight Flat Tax. The most conservative approach to income taxes, other than abolishing the income tax.

Death of Zune HD
Microsoft has officially confirmed the death of its Zune player devices.
The software giant removed references to the Zune HD from its Zune site on Monday and later claimed that the removal was "a mistake." It appears the the reference removals may have been planned for later but were mistakenly pushed early. A new support article on Microsoft's Zune support pages make it very clear:
"We recently announced that, going forward, Windows Phone will be the focus of our mobile music and video strategy, and that we will no longer be producing Zune players. So what does this mean for our current Zune users? Absolutely nothing. Your device will continue to work Zune services just as it does today. And we will continue to honor the warranties of all devices for both current owners and those who buy our very last devices. Custormer service has been, and will remain a top priority for us."
The confirmation marks the end of Microsoft's range of Zune devices that failed to prove popular against Apple's rival iPod offerings. Microsoft killed off its Zune originals devices earlier this year, marking the beginning of the end. The company urged consumers to purchase a Windows Phone 7 device for the Zune experience. "See how Windows Phone isn't just a phone, it's also a great Zune music and video player!", said the final part of Microsoft's message confirming the axe. A learn more button at the bottom of the page pushed users to Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 site.
Microsoft recently confirmed that it is working to port Zune HD applications to Windows Phone. Former Zune senior business development manager Dave McLauchlan revealed the company's plans in a recent Zune Insider podcast. Zune has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. Microsoft was forced to confirm it is not "killing" any Zune services after it was revealed that the company plans to rebrand into Windows Live shortly.
This really sucks, Zune HD's rule and I love my Zune Pass...MH

Obama Has Now Increased Debt More than All Presidents from George Washington Through George H.W. Bush Combined By Terence P. Jeffrey October 5, 2011 Subscribe to Terence P. Jeffrey's posts

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh) (CNSNews.com) - The Obama administration passed another fiscal milestone this week, according to new data released by the Treasury Department. As of the close of business on Oct. 3, the total national debt was $14,837,099,271,196.71—up about $44.8 billion from Sept. 30.
That means that in the less-than-three-years Obama has been in office, the federal debt has increased by $4.212 trillion--more than the total national debt of about $4.1672 trillion accumulated by all 41 U.S. presidents from George Washington through George H.W. Bush combined. This $4.212-trillion increase in the national debt means that during Obama’s term the federal government has already borrowed about an additional $35,835 for every American household--or $44,980 for every full-time private-sector worker. (According to the Census Bureau there were about 117,538,000 households in the country in 2010, and, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were about 93,641,000 full-time private-sector workers.)
When Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009, according to the Treasury Department, the total national debt stood at $10,626,877,048,913.08. At the end of January 1993, the month that President George H. W. Bush left office, the total national debt was $4.1672 trillion, according to the Treasury. Thus, the total national debt accumulated by the first 41 presidents combined was about $44.8 billion less than the approximately $4.212 trillion in new debt added during Obama’s term.
As of Monday, Obama had been in office 986 days—or about 32 and a half months. During that time, the debt increased at an average pace of $4.27 billion per day. Were that rate to continue until Obama’s term ends on Jan. 20, 2013, the debt would then stand at about $16.86534 trillion—an increase of more than $6.2 trillion for Obama’s four years. That would equal nearly $53,000 for each American household or more than $66,00 for each full-time private-sector worker. That total national debt did not exceed $6.2 trillion until 2002, when George W. Bush was president.
