Womanizer

Ok why hasn’t the Democrats kicked Liberman out - I will never know. Just the fact that I voted for this turd during his VP run with GORE…. Senators John McCain, Joseph I. Lieberman and Lindsey Graham made their way to Bhutan… Oh God!!! The Three Amigos, in Bhutan

The election is behind them but the three amigos – Senators John McCain, Joseph I. Lieberman and Lindsey Graham – are still jetting from place to place. Only now it is across South Asia.

The trio turned up today in tiny Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom nestled between India and China and hardly a typical destination for a high-powered Congressional delegation led by the very recent Republican nominee for president. The inhabitants of the kingdom have only been able to watch television in the last decade.

But as it turns out, Bhutan had its own landmark election this year, installing a constitutional democracy in what had been a total monarchy. The development prompted Mr. McCain and his Senate colleagues to make the visit, according to aides, to support the democratic movement in the strategically located nation. They had an audience with the new king, 28-year old Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, whose country is for the first time operating under the administration of an elected prime minister.

While in the region under the auspices of the Armed Services Committee, the senators also made a stop in India to lend support in light of the recent terror attacks and were scheduled to visit Pakistan as well. Earlier they had been in Iraq and Bangladesh, the native country of Mr. McCain’s adopted daughter. They are due back next week.

But it was no doubt a thrill for Mr. McCain to stop off in a country where he was happy with the electoral outcome. 

If I had the money this would be the camera in my hands - http://www.palsomedia.com/canon5d2/nyc_underground_5d2.wmv

But if I had the money — it would have been a 5D Mark II. (In case you live in the jungle - the 5DMarkII shipped to stores today)But if your like me or in my boat - and have to pony up then make your own darn educated decision. Here are some sites in case you didn’t read reviews on the 50D. Roland Lim | DPReview (this one set the forums on fire) & Jodi-Ann Richards Amazon Review 

• I loved the original Rebel
• I loved the 20D till it got stolen
• and I do love the 50D - (note: I was not particular found of the 30D - which is in the shop)
• Now would I have loved the 5DMarkII instead - Hell Yea!! But can’t afford it. 
• I love the shutter sound — sounds like a Nikon lolz.

Here are some things I like about the new 50D

• it feels awesome (solid for lack of better word - even my wife says it does feel really good)
• Viewfinder is awesome 
• Layout of all the camera feels solid (coming from 30D) 

I am not crazy about the Live View — now if it was Live View and Video Capture mode - that would have been freakin awesome.  The main reason I got it despite the world is coming to an end drama on DPreview - well the price drop since it came out.
