It is like those old B grade horror movies, you know, the ones where the soulless alien golems are caught gobbling the veins of innocent passerbys like so much spaghetti: when caught in the act, the look on their golem-ish faces is one of feigned surprise and outraged innocence. "Oh no" they protest, "This isn't blood, this is spaghetti sauce. Oh no, no. You just don't understand the trials of a special person like me."
So sounded her little "apology".
Hillary, this is so not about YOU.
So it is with Hillary Clinton yesterday in her breathtakingly horrid gaffe invoking Bobby's assassination as a reason for her to keep in the race, and her so-called apology to Ted Kennedy (and NOT Barack Obama).
Here's Olberman's take on the subject, and I agree with his every word.

Dollar Chart
Whoa. It seems the US dollar has lost half it's value since Bush took office. Check it out. That's robbery of every citizen, man woman and child, as much as if he had stolen half of every dollar-using person's money.
It seems that the "just-print-more" fix/bailout has its downside after all.

Heaven Begins On Earth

One of my favorite spiritual sites, Spirit Daily, has this little gem to offer. Take it for what it's worth to you: to me it seems good advice.
QUOTE Free yourself from the baggage of worldliness, which is attachment to things.
You take none of it with you and it can hold you back. Clean yourself. Simplify.
Do you see a bird in a cage? That's what we are like when we are all closed in by routine. The Holy Spirit cannot be spontaneous. We box God out. Don't cage yourself in by routine.
There is "balance." It is extremely important to balance our lives -- and avoid all extremes. Slow down. Don't outrun the Holy Spirit. Expand your horizons. That's where Heaven is. Don't be a robot.
There are extremes of negativity. There are extremes of eating. There are extremes of drinking. There are extremes politically and religiously. There is the extreme of scrupulosity (adhering to each letter of the law, but not the spirit). Any extreme puts the spirit at odds with the balance of Heaven.
You see this all the time: devout people who are dour because they have closed everyone else off, believing only they are destined for Heaven. When someone is out of balance they are fearful and that fear will evolve into anger.
Which is the opposite of love, and to feel Heaven -- to bring it here -- one has to love in all circumstances. Heaven is love.
And so there it is: just those few things for a taste of what God has designed as the ultimate in goodness:
Eternal happiness, which for all of us can begin today. UNQUOTE
