"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." -- John Philpot Curran: Speech upon the Right of Election, 1790

A rare sight, a big glowing disc in the sky that seems to be generating warmth, some people are calling this object a "sun" a homonym of "son". This glowy bright disc seems to warming the land as it rises in the sky.

I came home from work last night, popped some popcorn and sat down to watch a taped copy of the State Of The Union last night. As I sat back, my gag reflex kicked in every once in awhile causing popcorn kernels to fly across the room.

An interesting quote,

The Palestinian people have voted in elections. And now the leaders of Hamas must recognize Israel, disarm, reject terrorism and work for lasting peace.

This is everything Hamas has stood for, I'm not defending Hamas, but this is their platform. Essentially, what Bush is saying, "we're all for democratically elections as long as the results please us".
