This Is Why I Love Blogs
You just never know where a link will take you. I actually found this on a blog I don't read.
I needed a physical. I went to my doctor. I only realized he was a Muslim when he said, "Face Mecca and cough."

Si Se Puede*
"We've been warned against offering the people false hope. But in the unlikely story of America there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds... generations of Americans have responded with a simply creed that sums up a spirit of a people. Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can."
I caught this little nugget bellow on the live blog at Brave New Films.org
*Not sure you guys get it. Yes We Can = "Si Se Puede" = the battle cry of the Latinos and Chicanos of our country who are sick and tired of the way they and other immigrants (and non-immigrants who are assumed to be immigrants) are treated. (Spanish for "Yes, It can be done!")
Most Humans As A Species Suck*
In this October 2007 photo supplied by the Independent Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, Tusker, the towering 50 year old bull is seen at a lodge in Kariba. Tusker was shot Sunday Jan. 6 2008 at Charara camp on the shores of Lake Kariba, 370 kilometres northwest of Harare. Witnesses reported drunken youths taunting the elephant by throwing bottles, lightning fireworks, flashing car lights, hooting and even plucking hairs from the animals tail and slapping its rump.

*Too many things happening in the world today for me to ever change my mind on that statement.
I Cant' Believe I Agree With Bill O'Reilly
I don't go around defending Bill O'Reilly but a lot of people slammed him for yelling at and roughing up an Obama staffer. This time O'Reilly was right. Some people do disagree with Fox News and the way it conducts it's reporting but Obama's campaign staffer was being a jerk. You could see that in the smirk on his face. O'Reilly's claim of defending the Constitution though is a stretch.

In New Hampshire, Bill Clinton Finds Less Spark

Former President Bill Clinton has been drawing sleepy and sometimes smallish crowds at big venues in the state that revived his presidential campaign in 1992. He entered to polite applause and rows of empty seats at the University of New Hampshire on Friday. Several people filed out mid-speech, and the room was largely quiet as he spoke, with few interruptions for laughter or applause. He talked about his administration, his foundation work and some about his wife.
*My heart goes out to poor Bill, I think he should just pack it in and go home.
