An interesting take on the Iraq war. Here: (Stop Terror's Next Act). Did we "win" and not even know it? Is Europe in trouble?
This is old news (back in the summer) but: A first. A Jewish woman appointed as Ambassador. Of an Arab nation. This is Babylon has the scoop. Or here's the CNN story.
Did you know?
Did you know that Helen Keller, the famous lady who was deaf and blind and struggled with the help of a caring teacher to become a writer and advocate. She was made all the more famous from the movie The Miracle Worker. Did you know she supported the Civil Rights movement among many others? Cool beans! Here's more on that.

Helen Keller: "Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means we choose between Tweedledee and Tweedledum. We elect expensive masters to do our work for us, and then blame them because they work for themselves and for their class."
Not much has changed since Helen's day. Our presidents, and our congresspersons are still more responsive to itself than to the people who elected them.
It's my hope that Obama will change that trend. Special interests have for too long run this country, and it's time that we take it back.
Thanks. I knew Helen's story, but I wasn't aware of her civil rights' advocacy.
Domino - I first heard it from Tami at What Tami said.
