Our President at work: Bush Has Attack of Munchies

MSNBC - Bush Has Attack of Munchies

Bush's erratic behavior did not stop there, as many in attendance noticed the president "giggling to himself for no apparent reason" at many points during Chirac's address.

Later, during a speech by Javier Solana, the chief foreign policy official for the European Union, Bush, wearing dark sunglasses and an iPod, was heard singing along loudly to a song from Pink Floyd's classic album, "Dark Side of the Moon."

Battle over the past rages on in an evolving South

Some observers see a note of irony in the growing suppression of conservative Southern memorials at a time when old Confederate values like militarism, chivalry, gentility, and religiosity are gaining political prominence. It's a lesson, they say, in how a rebellious American region maintains its influence beneath pressure to rescind its mottoes and murals. ... Indeed, beneath the ceaseless skirmishes over Southern symbols lurks a deeper debate over the potency and potential of a region shaped by Scots-Irish settlers who wanted a small, God-fearing government that stayed out of their lives.

Birthdays!

Today is my eldest son Jamin's third birthday!

What exploits will he accomplish for the Lord?

He shares his birthday with another servant of the Master:

"George Washington was born this day, February 22, 1732. He was unanimously chosen as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, unanimously chosen as President of the Constitutional Convention, and unanimously chosen as the first President of the United States.
After the Declaration of Independence was read to his troops, General Washington ordered chaplains appointed to each regiment, concluding:
"The General hopes and trusts, that every officer and man, will endeavour so to live, and act, as becomes a Christian Soldier, defending
the dearest Rights and Liberties of his country."

After his Inauguration, President Washington approved chaplains to each House of Congress.

In his Inaugural Address, he said:
"It would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the
universe. No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of Providential agency."

7000 people stampede new IKEA store, trampling each other, attacking security guards and fighting over trinkets

An Ikea spokeswoman said: "...Some shoppers behaved like animals and started shoving and pushing. There's not much we can do to stop that."

Gee, I wonder why they acted like animals?
