Would You Vote For a Third Party?
This month 27-year-old Ash Roughani launched the California Moderate Party, a new political party apparently dedicated to results instead of ideology. The new party is hoping to gain support from middle-of-the-road voters who are tired of having to choose between the lesser of two evils. The party currently stays away from "divisive issues such as gay marriage, abortion, and the death penalty."
Does America Need More Political Parties?
When Gallup asked the public in 2003 whether America needed a third party, a majority opposed the idea. But asked again in 2007, the majority of both Democrats and Republicans, seemingly unsatisfied with the two-party system, welcomed more parties.
Well again this year, Americans have changed their minds.

Would You Vote for a Third Party Candidate?
In 1854, the Republican Party emerged as a third party. Only six years later, Abraham Lincoln won the presidency for the new party.
Parties beyond the Democrats and Republicans exist today.
New Moon: Love Triangle and New Additions Live Up to Hype
The wait is almost over, as New Moon hits our cinemas on Friday! The huge anticipation for the second installment of the Twilight saga puts a great amount of pressure on it, but I'm pleased to report it lives up to the hype. The story starts with Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) 18th birthday, and the rivalry between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) is set up from the outset.
Lindsay Lohan Is a Fan of Apple but Not Its Warranty
Although Lindsay Lohan has run the gauntlet of cell phones, she's become a BlackBerry convert and sticks with Apple for her computer needs. Lindsay recently lamented on Twitter about how her MacBook took a beating during her recent travels and ended up with a cracked screen. I know how expensive replacing screens can be, and unfortunately the star had to learn the hard way that accidental breakage isn't covered on Apple's warranty or by their protection plans.
Talking New Moon With Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner may be dominating the promotional circuit right now, but they're not the only cast members with something to say about New Moon. I had the opportunity to chat with costars Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, aka Emmett and Alice Cullen, during their recent stopover in SF. They chatted about their characters, the vampire craze, and what it's like to be a "Twilight celebrity."
Free Credit Report Scams Aren't Going Away
By now we all know about the not-so-free nature of those FreeCreditReport.com services; a few of you even say you've fallen for its misleading practices. But even after the government publicly condemned the site, "free" credit monitoring services — which require you to sign up for a paid service, but promise you can cancel at any time — are popping up everywhere.
One friend recently had a particularly nasty experience with one of these companies while apartment hunting.
Must Read: Pestos, Tapenades, & Spreads
Much like PartySugar, I'll be paying special attention to the oft-neglected starters when I host this year's Thanksgiving meal. I've not yet determined what they'll be: should I serve soup? Dip in a bread bowl?
Arr Matey! This Third-Party Candidate Emphasizes the Party!
It wasn't all serious speeches and Democratic unity this week: there was a third-party interloper with a pretty convincing arrrrr-gument for his candidacy. Captain Morgan for president! You couldn't throw a stone without hitting wacky characters like him this week.
Wal-Mart Builds Their Own Geek Squad
Need some tech support? Normally I like to troubleshoot my computer and technology woes myself (there's nothing like reading the instruction manual to learn how to operate something while in distress), but on rare occasions, I do have to call a company's tech support hotline to get some help with an issue. However, out of all of the gadgets I've purchased from Best Buy, I've never called upon the Geek Squad's services when I'm in need.
