Cuba in the news

Would we be interested if it wasn't for Castro and our own supposed "inability" to travel there? Maybe, but maybe not. Either way, Cuba has come up twice in my RSS reader today which has got me thinking about a place that used to be so close to home.

This first story, Castro's Tip: Clinton-Obama the winning ticket, is just interesting because, well it's just interesting. I'm still not sure who I will vote for for President, but I have mentioned previously my prediction that Obama is no longer a front-runner. Vice-President, however, is a definite possibility.

Impeachment

I wanted to link to this really great article from the Asheville Citizen Times.

http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200770810088

I personally think it's too late for impeachment, America shouldn't have put the moron and his buddy back in office in 2004 if they didn't like the job he was doing. But I like what she has to say and I'm sorry that her and her friends were arrested.

I wish someone would arrest my happy-ass for expressing my opinion. Perhaps they'll get their chance; maybe Open:Source:Polity will be then nail in the coffin!

We've been to the moon!

These are the words of my Humanities instructor from today's lecture:

"We've been to the moon! Think about it! Think about how incredible that is!"

It is incredible...but you really have to stop and think about it.

Tonight (or tomorrow morning) many of us we'll get to watch a full lunar eclipse. Not just our ancient ancestors, but even our recent ancestors would not have even dreamed of the things that are possible today when they looked up at the same moon and marveled at the same events which will unfold before us in the wee hours of the morning.
