Approve Palm Unit’s Spinoff. “Palm, now joined by rival
Handspring, will be renamed palmOne Inc. The spun off division, which
develops the Palm operating system, had already been acting
independently as a subsidiary for more than a year and will remain as
PalmSource Inc. […] Beginning Wednesday, PalmSource stock will begin
trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol PSRC, and the
new combined company of Palm and Handspring, under the new ticker symbol
PLMO.”
George Lakoff on how conservatives are using language to shape issues.

George Lakoff on how
conservatives are using language to shape issues. Small example,
regarding Schwarzenegger’s immediate and resounding popularity with
conservatives:
He didn’t have to say a word! He just had to stand up there, and he represents
Mr. Discipline. He knows what’s right and wrong, and he’s going to take it to
the people. He’s not going to ask permission, or have a discussion, he’s going
to do what needs to be done, using force and authority. His very persona
represents what conservatives are about.
Fire, women, conservative thinktanks…
