Don’t become an expert at anything. Especially if you might end up on a tv show to debate that subject.

Now, if you want to write a book about something and you get an invite to The Daily Show. DO IT!! My friend Steve Hayes did just that. He wrote a book about the connection between Saddam Hussein’s regime and al-Qaeda and now he’s going to be on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart!!!!

Two degrees of separation from the smartest late night comedian/tv host!!! I’m jealous Steve!!!!

So many exclamation marks!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Get them now folks!!! Dump Internet Exploder and start browsing with the best browser (IMNSHO) on the internet today.

Don’t forget to uninstall your previous versions. It won’t delete your bookmarks and other things. If you didn’t use an install program before, just delete the program directories.
