But wouldn't anyone who claims to know or to be able to devine "God's will", by their own logic, be guilty of the sin of Pride?
I mean, who are you(they) to claim to be able to decipher the all knowing.

Isn't that a bit presumptuous?

God wants what he/she/it wants and the best we can do is to guess at it, right?

And sure, you can site the Bible/Torah/Koran as a set of instructions based on the notion of God's infallibility, but then God didn't
physically write the Bible/Torah/Koran, man did, and man is waaaay fallible.

After a centuries long game of telephone wouldn't the odds of the original message being screwed up EVEN FROM THE OUTSET, be pretty good?

So some of my boys and I were walking home from class around 10 last night when while passing the Time warner center, we notice a papparazzi, a reporter and camera man.

So we say to ourselves, Cool someone famous is going to come out.

Not to be total douche bags, we keep walking but slow down to try and catch who it is over our shoulders while were heading away.

A couple seconds later, we hear the cameras going off so we look over and we see none other than
THAT LUNATIC DISGRACE ROD BLAGOJEVICH.

He must have just got done taping Larry King.

Neat huh?

And yes, his hair is just at bad in person.

Dude.

You spiteful bitch.

If you are the lone voice that keeps Hilary from her approval as Secretary of State, you care more about your pitiful pathetic ideology than
the safety of your country.

I sincerely hope Rham Emanuel shives you with at sharpened toothbrush handle and laughs at you while Clinton is confirmed anyway.

It's weird.

My family for all its age is very young upstairs.
In the past three weeks or so, a TON of my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins have joined facebook and begun posting all manner of ancient and recent family photos.

Being that my parents are VERY divorced and couldn't be bothered to hold on to such things as...you know...PRECIOUS FAMILY MEMORIES. It has fallen to me to keep up with this stuff.

This combined with Sharon's interest in creating an in-depth family tree, we should have a pretty thorough record of peoples names and significant dates.

Oh...and...

Hot damn.

All I'm saying is that I come from some good lookin stock.

My paternal grandfather Mike at my fathers bar-mitzvah ca. 1963


From the same event, my grandmother (Nanny) Marion grandfather Mike, and Great Grandmother Martha


My maternal grandmother Pearl ca. 1943-44


My maternal grandfather Ernie ca. 1934-35


And...if you were wondering what I was doing in '79, well you're lookin at it.

Meet Dr. Stephen Chu.



Dr. Chu is a professor of physics and molecular and cell biology at the University of California-Berkeley and has been the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory since 2004, where he has pushed aggressively for research into alternative energy as a way to combat global warming.

It is reported that P.E. Obama is going to name him to his cabinet as Energy Secretary.

If you have 9:30 to spare, I suggest you watch the following youtube clip, where Dr. Chu delivers a speech about global warming and things we can do help stop it, primarily using alternative energy sources.



I just love the fact that he is speaking in terms that go over my head. Those are the people I want running the show, man. Obama's cabinet just went up by a Factor of AWESOME. (eh- you'll get it if you watch the clip.

Sounds like the right guy to me.

Dear Mister Debt Collector,

Hey, Listen, I know you deal with "the check's in the mail" types all day long, but don't you fucking condescend to me you mindless leech, prick.

So my grandmother died with a couple of bucks on her Amex....big fucking whoop. Her credit has NOTHING to do with mine, so watch your fucking tongue when you speak to me. 

You have no authority over me.

You are in no position to "offer" me anything.

I'm the one who will offer you something... and only out of the kindness of my heart and out of an obligation to my Grandmothers memory and good name.

And you can take what I offer you or you get nothing.  Zero. Zilch.  And, there wouldn't be fucking thing you could do about it.

So, choose your tone and pick your words carefully because you aren't the bully here.  I am.



....and then they accepted my offer.

Way to go.

I didn't cry. I usually don't. I suppose it's just how I'm built.
But for the first time in nearly a decade my gut was swollen with pride at the way our COMMUNITIES ORGANIZED and took our country back.

Laugh at that shit now you narrow minded fucks. (Im lookin at you Guiliani, you lispy, cross dressing prick)

But not only did we win, we won with a margin so large that the results are beyond contest.
With the entire planet watching we showed everyone that we are ready again to lead by example and not dictation.

And now, at long last, maybe we can get some REAL work done.

I say this knowing full well that we have yet to reset and get back to zero. But once we do, and we will, twe will then be able to make some progress and bring ourselves together as a nation and a world.

What a wonderful time for all my friends who have newborns and small children. These kids will never know a world only one narrow type of person can be President. They will know a world where if you work hard, study, and sacrifice, you can come from nothing and earn it all.

It's really cool.
It's just really really cool.

So, President-Elect Obama, sleep in today. You've earned it.
Madam First Lady-Elect, we look forward to the next four years of your dignity and class.
And, Malia and Sasha enjoy your new puppy.
