Something important - please help if you can
This is an adorable little French girl named Capucine, whom Cheekymonkey introduced me to....er, she showed me where to find Capucine's videos, rather. Anyway, I thought this was an important cause, so I wanted to post it here.

I miss the '80's
I really miss the 1980's. Not because of all the clothes, hair, music (tho I still LOVE 80's music), and craziness. I miss the 1980's because we actually DID stuff then. I was just watching some videos on Youtube - "We Are The World", "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (yeah, I know, that was in England, but it got people off their butts), and "Hands Across America" (which I participated in). We wanted to help. It's been a long time since people helped others like that. And the problems didn't go away, we just stopped doing something about them.
Right now, I can't do much. We're already having trouble making the bills. But I'm going to try and do what I can. I'll donate my change to Salvation Army. I'll try and give something to the food pantry if I can. I'll shop at Goodwill, where the money goes to help people. I remember those days when I wanted, and did, help. I want to make that not just a part of my life, but to teach my daughter to help where she can as well. I know, she's not quite three, but believe it or not, she was singing along with the videos. I want her to know we all share the planet. It's not about "me me me", it's about us. All of us. Or, it should be.
Do They Know It's Christmas?

QotD: So Not True!
What misconception about the place you live bothers you the most?
Submitted by Jessmiloo
That Indiana is somehow this magical place to raise kids. It's not - The environment, the education infrastructure, and basically people's attitudes about kids needs a lot of work. But people just keep saying, "It's a great place to raise kids!", without actually LOOKING at things. I'm not saying it's a terrible place, at least not yet, but you can't just go on automatic pilot, and figure if you keep saying something, it's automatically true.

Something to think about...
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Bristol, Trig, and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
* If you teach children about sexual predators, you are irresponsible and eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that hates America and advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.

Obama ad I'd like to see
Cue visions of a playground, with kids running around, and a general murmur of children's voices laughing and shouting as they play. Suddenly, one voice becomes more shrill, "Daddy, he called me a pig! I know he did!". Then, return to the general murmur, then again, a raised voice, "Well, if you did it MY way, I wouldn't have to do this to you!". The scene and voices of the children fade, and a voice over says, "Running our country takes more than a tattle tail and a playground bully. Running a country is not child's play. So, don't vote for a couple of children."
Obama for President - vote for the grown-ups.
