A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the
United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the
street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, and
giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care and free education!"
But the passerby says "You are mistaken, I am Mexican".
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having
such a beautiful country here in America!" The person says "I no
American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops,
shakes his hand and says "Thank you for the wonderful America!" That
person puts up his hand and says "I am from Middle East, I am not an
American!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously, "Are you an
American?" She says, "No, I am from Russia!" So he is puzzled, and asks
her, "Where are all the Americans?" The Russian lady looks at her watch,
shrugs, and says... "Probably at work...."

1259 Obama - 4th? _ Labor Day?
What's North Korean have in store for July 4th and September 7th
Reuters, May 26,2009
By Jack Kim
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's nuclear test on Monday sparked international condemnation. Following are some questions and answers about why the North went ahead with the test and why it came sooner than analysts had expected.
WHY DID NORTH KOREA CHOOSE TO TEST NOW?
North Korea likely concluded that no concessions would flow from U.S. President Barack Obama, especially after his strongly worded response to Pyongyang's rocket launch last month that regional powers say was a long-range missile test. To North Korea, this probably signaled Washington was in no mood for direct negotiations, something long sought by Pyongyang.
The North may have also felt it needed to boost its leverage by conducting a follow-up nuclear test after its only other test nearly three years ago was considered just a partial success.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, perhaps pressured by an ailing economy and questions about succession, may be trying to lure Washington into making a quick deal that would boost his standing at home.
Monday was the Memorial Day holiday in the United States, and the test follows a pattern of Pyongyang's provocations timed for U.S. national holidays. The 2006 test of North Korea's long-range Taepodong-2 missile came on the U.S. Independence Day holiday.

Ranger La Boeuf in True Grit says of Mattie Ross's lawyer J. Noble Daggett - "she draws him like a gun"
I say Steve draws the Constitution like a gun.
"The documents that we hold in this very hall -- the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights -- these are not simply words written into aging parchment. They are the foundation of liberty and justice in this country, and a light that shines for all who seek freedom, fairness, equality, and dignity around the world."

1274 Obama - Sign of the Cross
While sitting in church on Mother's Day, I was naturally multi tasking. In addition to celebrating my Mother, I was contemplating the 'sign of the cross'.
The sign of the cross is made with three fingers, because the signing is done together with the invocation of the Trinity. ... This is how it is done: from above to below, and from the left to the right, because from misery (left-liberal) we must cross over to glory (right-conservative), just as Christ crossed over from death to life, and from Hades to Paradise.
I must confess, all the above was extracted from Wikipedia at my discretion ( but my way just seems to fit).
I'm satisfied with the ';eft to right' situation; but I'm not sure about starting with the right hand. Problems: what if you don't have a right hand? Does it have something to do with what some people around the world do with their left hand?

TO SUCCEED IN LIFE, YOU NEED THREE THINGS: A WISHBONE, A BACKBONE AND A FUNNYBONE. - REBA MCENTIRE
Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood working to get out the vote
Bam's Blog Oct 8, 2008
Female country music stars Reba McEntire, Martina McBride and Taylor Swift will appear on the November cover of Redbook and appear in Lifetime Television public service announcements to encourage millions of women to vote.
The cover feature and PSAs, titled “Vote (For Your) Country,” are part of Lifetime’s and Redbook’s nonpartisan, yearlong Every Woman Counts campaign to empower and engage women in the political process as voters and future candidates, according to a news release. The stars won’t be touting their party affiliations, just working to encourage voting.
“Who better to represent the heart of America at election time than country stars?” said Redbook Editor-in-Chief Stacy Morrison in the release. ”Redbook readers have always been huge country fans and so we are thrilled to partner with Lifetime Television in this latest expression of our Every Woman Counts/What We Share campaign, which has been wildly successful in motivating women to speak up and talk about what matters most for our country in politics.”
Meredith Wagner, executive vice president of public affairs for Lifetime said the netowrk is particularly pleased to partner with McEntire, who was born in McAlester and raised in Chockie.
“We are thrilled to work with Reba, the queen of country and star of our hit series, and so many other passionate and talented artists. Thirty-five million eligible women did not vote in 2004. With these powerful and respected country voices and with Lifetime and Redbook teaming up to amplify them, we can and will change this statistic and get millions more women to make their voices heard.”
McEntire said in the release, “There are people in foreign countries who stand in line all day just to be able to vote, and when people here take it for granted, I think it’s a shame. If you have a gripe, you have the right to voice it and try to fix it by voting.”

Country star REBA MCENTIRE has weighed in against the DIXIE CHICKS again, after they criticised fans of her music. The pair first came to blows after the group criticised US President GEORGE W BUSH’s - a close friend of Republican MCEntire - decision to go to war in Iraq. Although they later apologised, singer MARTIE MAGUIRE recently took back the apology and claimed the furore had helped them connect with their audience, adding an attack on MCEntire: "I’d rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc (CD) changer with Reba MCEntire and Toby Keith. We don’t want those kind of fans. They limit what you can do." MCEntire is furious. She’s quoted in the New York Daily News, saying, "(I’m) very disappointed. I’ve never turned my back on country music. "So when somebody talks bad about my music, my family, that does not set well with me. And when you bite the hand that feeds you, I just don’t think that’s very nice."

Specter condemned Jim Jeffords' party switch in 2001.
Senator James Jeffords of Vermont appears in 2001, announcing his departure from the Republican party.When the Vermont Republican became an independent, Specter lost a committee chairmanship in the Senate's resulting power shift. An angry Specter proposed a ban on such party switches.Reporting from Washington -- When a Senate Republican left his party in 2001, elevating the Democrats to majority status, one member of the GOP was especially vocal about his displeasure: Arlen Specter.
Specter said then- Vermont Sen. Jim Jeffords' decision to become an independent was disruptive to the functioning of Congress. He proposed a rule forbidding party switches that had the effect of vaulting the minority to majority status in the middle of a congressional session.
"If somebody wants to change parties, they can do that," Specter said at the time. "But that kind of instability is not good for governance of the country and the Senate."
Now it is Specter switching parties, proclaiming himself a Democrat. While the move won't throw one party out of power, it could potentially hand the Democrats a 60-vote majority and deprive the GOP of the ability to block legislation through a filibuster.
Eight years ago, Jeffords' decision cost Specter his chairmanship of the Veterans Affairs Committee. Specter said at the time that he wanted the rule change to prevent a party switch that could decisively swing the balance of power in the Senate overnight, disrupting U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
He also said that Jeffords' move would put Senate staff members out of work as committee chairmanships changed hands, and that he had already seen "a lot of crying" among staff members worried about their future.
Donald Ritchie, associate Senate historian, said in an interview Tuesday that the Jeffords move "was terrifically disruptive. People had to move out of their offices and staffs had to change."
But Specter's proposal quickly ran into opposition. Democrats balked. Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) called the proposal unconstitutional. (Lieberman would later leave the Democratic Party to become an independent.) The proposal was never adopted.
Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey, said the rule would have "deprived a senator of the free will to make a decision."
Specter's proposal, Baker said, was intended "to ingratiate himself with colleagues with whom [Specter] was on the outs" -- the Republicans. "That was one way he could do it. And it was received with the coldness it deserved."
In a statement today, Specter sought to draw a distinction between his party change and that of Jeffords, who did not seek reelection in 2006. Specter said that he would not necessarily vote in lock step with the Democrats.
"My change in party affiliation does not mean that I will be a party-line voter any more for the Democrats than I have been for the Republicans," he said. "Unlike Sen. Jeffords' switch, which changed party control, I will not be an automatic 60th vote."

Q Thank you, Mr. President. During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office, enchanted you the most about serving this in office, humbled you the most and troubled you the most?
Enchanted? (Laughter.) Enchanted. I will tell you that when I meet our servicemen and women — “enchanted” is probably not the word I would use. (Laughter.) But I am so profoundly impressed and grateful to them for what they do. They’re really good at their job. They are willing to make extraordinary sacrifices on our behalf. They do so without complaint. They are fiercely loyal to this country. And the more I interact with our servicemen and women, from the top brass down to the lowliest private, I’m just — I’m grateful to them.
