Merry Christmas

I was watching the Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich (D), on the news this morning as he delivered a press conference and I couldn't get over his hair. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, after all it could be just bad morning hair, and Googled him. This man might have some serious state issues but I would say none more pressing than that hairdo.

Thomas Jefferson; Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Third President of the United States

Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give the earth itself and all it contains rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so it may appear to you. Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly. Encourage all your virtuous dispositions, and exercise them whenever an opportunity arises, being assured that they will gain strength by exercise, as a limb of the body does, and that exercise will make them habitual. From the practice of the purest virtue, you may be assured you will derive the most sublime comforts in every moment of life, and in the moment of death.

This is the link to the article with the video embedded of Obama supporters being asked random political questions about the elections and current politicians. The answers given to the reporter are at times downright frightening, the video is about 10 min. long.
