...That's right, this bundle of canine circuits is going to start reading your mail out loud and doing web searches for you. The process will be as voice-controlled as any face-to-face interaction: you talk to him, he talks back. In theory, it sounds like the perfect pet trick for curious technophobes; a way into the Internet without pressing a key.

But Clinton was charming and extremely well-versed on policy issues; he had an ability to sit down in a room full of world leaders and convince people of his point of view. Of course President Bush may have a certain charm one-on-one, but on policy matters he may in fact ultimately benefit from the fact that expectations are so low. If he manages not to get lost in his syntax, he'll have a minor victory...
