When historians attending aback at the 2008 presidential landslide, they won’t focus on the actuality that Barack Obama — anon to be our 44th President and our aboriginal African-American Commander in Chief — ran a acute and abiding campaign. They won’t focus on William Ayers or Joe the Plumber or socialism or racism. They won’t agitation whether John McCain blew it by targeting Pennsylvania or by alienated the columnist or by blank the Rev. Jeremiah Wright or by acrimonious Sarah Palin as a active mate. They won’t bethink the robo-calls or “cling” or the Paris Hilton ad or the crazy banty who carved the B into her face. The pundits bushing airtime on their 24-hour account channels ability accept cared, but breed won’t.

No, aback historians assay the 2008 campaign, they’re activity to bethink that the two-term Republican President had 20% approval ratings, that the abridgement was in meltdown, and that Americans didn’t appetite addition Republican President. They’ll additionally bethink that Obama was a change applicant in a change election. And of advance they’ll bethink that America adopted a biracial baton beneath than a half-century afterwards Jim Crow. But that’s aloof about all they’ll remember. Backroom is a lot simpler than the pundits pretend.

The Republican recriminations will be ugly, but McCain was apparently the best electable applicant the affair had: a 18-carat war hero with an absorbing almanac of accessible account that didn’t consistently accommodate boot in lockstep with George W. Bush. He threw some Hail Mary passes — Palin; the “suspension” of his attack — but he didn’t accept abundant of a best adjoin a Democratic tide. He was the appropriate guy in the amiss year. If Washington Republicans adjudge that he absent because he was too doughy on clearing or too pro-regulation in his acknowledgment to the bread-and-butter crisis or too mavericky, they could acquisition themselves cocooning in the wilderness for a continued time. (See pictures of John McCain’s final advance on the attack trail.)

Remember what eight years of Republican aphorism has wrought: missing weapons of accumulation destruction, the promises we’d be greeted as liberators, Jessica Lynch, torture, the abrasion of Afghanistan. Also: Enron, WorldCom, Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie and Freddie, GM, Chrysler, Social Security privatization, the $700 billion bailout. Also: Brownie, John Ashcroft accoutrement up that bare-breasted bronze at the Justice Department, Alberto Gonzales politicizing the Justice Department, Harriet Miers, the oil lobbyist who edited those all-around abating reports. Also: Jack Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, Tom DeLay, Ted Stevens. Also: the Vice President attempt a guy, and the President about abashed to afterlife on a pretzel. (See the screwups of Attack ‘08.)

And McCain still about won Virginia! It’s activity bottomward to the wire in Florida! All things considered, that’s a appealing absorbing showing.

The pundits are already admonishing that Obama could overreach, that Democratic aldermanic leaders are still unpopular, that this is still a center-right country. But it wasn’t tonight. Obama will accept the affluence of demography appointment at a time aback the GOP is the AIG of balloter politics, aback his antecedent has set the everyman bar aback James Buchanan, aback a allegedly bourgeois Administration aloof started nationalizing the cyberbanking system, aback the accessible is atrocious for change. What is it about tonight’s after-effects that suggests Obama should be abashed of accelerating activity on the bend of a depression?

(See pictures of the attack from Barack Obama’s point of view.)

But those are questions for addition day. The big account tonight is that whether or not there’s a Bradley effect, it’s boilerplate abreast as big as the Bush effect. And now a guy who would accept had to ride the aback of the bus in some of this country aback he was a kid has developed up to run this country. Historians will bethink that.

I’m not a movie addict, if I may say. I don’t go to the movies very often, either. But if I go for one, it supposed to be something like this.

I was doing some blog-hopping, and voila, I found this. Really, this is great.. I like the sperm thing, by the way *LOL*

There are many countries in this world still fighting against starvation. The people probably never get the chance to enjoy a three-meal for a daily basis, the opportunity that I have the luxury for. We can help them out, probably not in a direct way.

FreeRice is simply a website, that let you play some word-game. The game itself is just a synomnim based system, you pick a word with similar meaning with the one being asked. Simple, but it helps you to formulate your idea in a better way because you’ll learn new words (and many other advantages related to word-knowlegde). For each correct answer, you donate 20 grains of rice.

The donation is provided by the sponsor, which banner is shown under the game itself. So everytime you get correct answer, the sponsor provide funds for 20 grains to be used by the WFP (UN World Food Program) for buying rice for helping feed the hungry.

The first FreeRice donations went to purchase rice:

• In Bangladesh, to feed 27,000 refugees from Myanmar for two weeks. Please click here to watch FreeRice being distributed in Bangladesh.
• In Cambodia, to provide take-home rations of 4 kilograms of rice for two months to 13,500 pregnant and nursing women.
• In Uganda, to feed 66,000 school children for a week.
• In Nepal, to feed over 108,000 Bhutanese refugees for a day.

So lend some of your time, to play the game and help the hungry.

It’s been quite some time since I entertain myself with movies that is released in recent times, for usually I waited till the local TV station broadcast it, for free. And you can imagine, the movie that is shown on TV, basically fell into the category “last year’s entry” or worse.

And then I go for this one called “10,000 BC” (for reference: http://www.10000bcmovie.com/). A movie about a young man adventure to save his tribe, and their future. Yes, the settings take place in the era of Mammoth and Sabertooth Tiger.

D’Leh is a young man from a mammoth hunter tribe, facing a real deal with the rest of his society. Just like an old saying, the child is destined to bear the father’s sin, D’Leh become the black sheep of the tribe due to his father act that is considered as “abandoning the tribe”. But in the end, D’Leh is the one that save the tribe from abolishment.

The story goes just like other common adventure movies does, a man go for a quest for his woman and then become a hero for everybody. But in this movie, I found a nice touch that shows culture of nations working hand-on-hand for the same purpose. It shows that even when each culture has its own so-called prophecy, each and every single of it resolve to one greater good.

If I can categorized this movie, it fall into the same pot Apocalypto goes.

This is one band I like very much. They came from Sweden, met in a small town named Jonkoping. If you never heard them before, listen to this one I’m recommending. The song is entitled Been It, the music is so fine, and the lyrics ain’t so hard.

You still don’t have a clue? Try this:
Ever watch Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo & Juliet” before? The one with Leonardo DiCaprion in it. You *must* know “Love Fool” then! It’s their hits during those years.

The vocalist (Nina Persson) giving the band her vocal presence just the way I adore it. But not like all other “female-voiced”, this one really come with great interplay between members. So totally, they are one of the kind.
