Benjamin Franklin Would Have Been Proud

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Obviously, we need a change.  This local FOX news reporter seems completely drained from what she witnessed on of the nights at the RNC in Minnesota.  She's sighing.  He shoulders slump.  The word that is important here is "love", and then, what it is done to it.  I am no hippie. Rather, I am a cynic who still holds out for a country comprised of some really great human beings.  This girl is one of them.

Last political BLOG, I swear.  (fingers crossed) 

Madlibs For The Conservatively IMpaired

www.236.com has quite a wonderful sense of humor.  I started on this news-like blog a few weeks back when Eugene Mirman was covering the DNC and RNC.  Genius.  But this week, they have been on the mark.  A madlib for Sarah Palin's interview by that old fart from ABC.

The market may be failing and the world is burning and, "like a hermaphrodite doesn't know how to date."

I don't know if this is an add for or against piracy. Thanks Jack!

Braingasm Shazasm!

It's not everyday two of my heroes get to hang out and discuss current and faded globalization issues.  I doubt these two have read 'The World Is Flat', and rightly so.  Instead, I suggest you read something not written about how America will fade because of globalization (lies and fear) caused by how well Indians can adapt.  I assume the author meant that being able to sit in a un-airconsitioned sauna for 19 hours a day answering complaint calls for Microsoft is going to be the new, viable, worker.  No.  Instead, I say simply watch this, part 2, and read anything that has Noam's name on it.  That's a good start.
