Random Talk

1. The Democratic Primary will be over this time next Tuesday and Barrack Obama will be our candidate. Even Kos agrees with me (or could be the other way around).

2. I think what is so exciting about Obama's campaign is that we are truly witnessing a whole new way of campaigning. Howard Dean started it in 2004, but Obama has brought people powered politics to a whole new level. I especially like that he is building a 50 state strategy. He knows he won't win all the Red States, but does realize that there are a lot of Democrats further down the ticket who have a good chance to win. The more allies he has in Congress, the better chance he has to get his agenda enacted. Why not share a little with the man himself.

3. What liberal media? Another reason why I stopped watching cable news and quit reading the paper. The only way to find out what's happening in the world is online.

4. Another example of why the police in this country cannot be trusted. They are thugs and trigger happy.

5. I love Post Secret, it's one of the most delicious websites around. People confess a lot of strange stuff on there, but this one takes the cake:



6. I'll admit that Americans are way overmedicated, but to say that antidepressants don't work is a bit foolish. I can't function without them, though I know others who saw no help so who knows.

7. For those who have never visited, RedOrbit is one of the coolest sites around, especially if you like science, technology and photography. The picture below shows the snow cover around the Great Lakes last week. Notice that Lake Erie, the shallowest of the Great Lakes, is frozen over, cutting off the lake affect snow machine for Ohio and Pennsylvania.

8. I totally agree with Natalie Portman. They are spectacular.
