I think in some of the internet people are beginning to demonize Chick-fil-a just a little bit too much. People like this guy who lost it with a Chick-fil-a employee are doing more harm than good. If you want people to support your cause you have to distance yourselves from people who are obviously not helping and condemn their actions, even if you agree with their message.

I saw a recent article from Reuters on an embezzlement from a virtual bank in the game "EVE Online". This article raises some very interesting questions about the future of crime and what we may, or may not, be able to do about it.

The most vocal GOP proponent of torture continues to be Dick Cheney, repeatedly saying that torture gets results. The implied other part to that statement is that torture is the only sucessful way to get results.

It is my belief this misses almost the entire point on the issue of torture, not if it works or doesn't work (it doesn't) but that's it's just wrong.

While I have not lived in the Hoosier state for several years now (I have settled down in our VP-Elects state) my friends, family and many fond memories are still back in my home state.

My father, a life long Democrat, did something he has not really done before. He stayed up and watched the returns, McCain's concession speech, Obama's acceptance speech and then went to bed before anyone called Indiana. He's a teacher and has an early morning so he couldn't stay up any later.

I called him first thing this morning, before he was able to check the news, and gave him the good news. For the first time in his entire life, his vote for President of the United States was with the winner in his state. He wasn't even in high school the last time a Democrat was given Indiana's electoral votes, but now he gets to see the wait finally pay off. Hoosiers are turning increasingly blue, voting for more Democratic congresspeople, more Democratic state offices and more willingness to look at someone's character beyond just an (R) next to their names.

It's a beautiful dawn in Delaware, but I'm facing West, looking towards Indiana, missing my family, missing my home state but so incredibly proud of what they have done and what we, as a country, have done.

The anti-war movement has finally succeeded in one critically important way. We've now got the language of the Iraq war on our side. From the beginning of the war, the news media was always using terms like "front on the war on terror" and talking about victories against the insurgency. Now their tune is changing.

Recently the President has stated that he will only leave Iraq when the mission is accomplished and we can come home victorious. I seem to recall a banner at some point saying that we already had accomplished the mission, but that, I guess, is not really the point. The question is at what point will we "succeed" or at what point will we simply declare victory and go home.

The future of virtual crime.

The GOP is missing the point on torture utility.

My home state of Indiana turns blue.

Victory in Iraq, what it is, what the President thinks it is.
