I'm trying to track down info on some device put out by Sega, its white, has three bulbs on it. Appears to have a small speaker on it.

Anyone got a clue what I'm talking about?

My work uniform has white collared shirts. They are cotton.

No matter how well i iron them, they never iron properly. Ive tried steam iron. Spraying water bottle. Using ironing spray. They still have faint creases all through.
They are the type of shirts that crease as soon as u touch them, that i guess cant be fixed.

But does anyone know a good way of ironing so they at least start with no creases?

What is a pundit?

I just discovered that Ralph Nader is, as usual, running for president this year. Normally I wouldn't care, but it seems like this election is one where the liberals/Democrats really need to rally behind one candidate (at this point, seems like John Kerry is our man) in order to kick Bush the hell out of the White House.

I wouldn't say that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush, but certainly a vote for Nader is one less vote for Kerry.

What do you guys think? Should Nader take this one for the team, or does it not matter that he's running?
