Another Ho Hum News Day

So today turned out to be a fairly boring news day.

Arther C. Clarke, the well known writer of 2001: A Space Odyssey, passed away at the age of 90. This post was almost entitled "HAL Is Dead, Long Live HAL".

Anthony Minghella died at the age of 54 today. You may know him as the Director of the English Patient or Cold Mountain. We were this close to this post being called "In Death No One Can Hear You Scream" A not so clever word association between The Talented Mr. Ripley, also directed by Minghella, and Sigourney Weaver's Ripley character in Alien.

As I said another ho hum news day. Nothing happened. Nothing at all.

But wait! What's this? You're telling me that while I was at work Barack Hussein Obama spoke for 37 minutes on the subject of race in our country. He actually attempted to answer the mail for the controversial remarks made by his Pastor? Now this I've got to hear. Aren't you at least a little curious?

Well let's get to it then.



We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
