Michelle...

She is angelic yet grounded
tough but forever open to experience
full of knowledge but not bitterness
maturity, but never mediocrity
keeper of wise innocence
and strength that only heightens
her compassion and kindness
An effective dreamer
a realistic optimist
a passionate soul
whose energies are focused and sharpened
by her great intelligence, her sense of
calm and spiritual awareness
she is a singular fusion of elements
a source of inspiration and admiration

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” - Mother Teresa

“When I was asked... what I believe, I found it necessary to take a good long look at what I do. For what one does, somehow, expresses most sincerely what one believes.”

“It was love: just simple, plain, easy to give. Love is primal. It is comprised of compassion, care, security, and a leap of faith. I believe in the power of love to transform. I believe in the power of love to heal."

US Officials Flunk Civic Literacy Test

Amazing - a random sampling of 2500 citizens did better than elected officials (49 vs 44%) on a civic literacy test. Are these the same people that complain about immigrants not being "real Americans"! Food for thought...

Prop 8 and Civil Rights - majority rule?

Some interesting thoughts for pondering from a radio piece I am listening to:

Gavin Newsom (current Mayor of San Francisco): “If you did a Prop 8 in 1967 for interracial marriage, would that have been right?”
Newsom questioned whether issues like same-sex marriage or interracial marriage should be put to a popular vote. He said that when the US Supreme Court struck down miscegenation laws 40 years ago, 77% of Americans still objected to Blacks and Whites marrying. “I don’t think in th... read more

SNL Palin skit - most recent

www.nbc.com/Saturday_Nig...-open/704042/

This is hilarious! I cracked up out loud over and over - enjoy (while trying not to be too depressed about the situation)!

Update: Oh, it gets worse. I just watched the actual interview - the SNL "skit" is more like a re-inactment than a spoof - Seriously, see for yourself:
