Have you ever had something that you understood what it was and thought you understood how it worked, but couldn’t quite wrap your mind around how to use it affectively.  This has been the case for me for some time with regards to inheritance in regards to development.  Because of my background I develop in VB.Net.  Up until just the other night I thought I had got a pretty good feel for OOP.  Then I saw something and realized I had been missing a major part of it all along.

I am using DevExpress (DX) tools for my development including their eXpress Persistent Objects (XPO) ORM product.  At home, in the evenings, I am in need of an application to track info about a collection I have.  So I thought that this would be a good opportunity to play with the trial version of their eXpressApp Framework (XAF)...

John Tantillo is, I think, the only one that gets it right in his article on FOX News.com - “Palin 1, Pundits 0”.  The political commentators wouldn’t recognize morality or convictions if it hit them in the face.  She is resigning for the right reasons instead of the political reasons.  We need a few more public figures like this.

This one is very good and has a LOT of info: http://www.reason.com/news/show/129158.html

Now onto McCain.  I get the email blasts from the McCain campaign and on Tuesday (9/30), I got one with the subject of "It's time for action" about the "Bail Out" and why it is so "Necessary".  I tend to dissagree and so even though I seriously doubt that it will be read, I hit the reply button and typed the following and sent it off. I support you because you had the forsight to choose a conservative running mate.  Now have have the courage to let the free market work like it is supposed to.  DO NOT SUPPORT a bail out of ANY nature!!!!

Here is a good piece in the Wall Street Journal that highlights some issues.

Blame Fannie Mae and Congress For the Credit Mess

 

I have lots of opinions on the financial mess that the US is in right now, but unfortunately don't have enough time to put them in words.  Have too much programming to do.  In the mean time, here is an article that highlights some specific issues.
