Well there are several people here in the shared office space have decided that they should listen out loud to Barak Obama’s speech from last night. This is beginning to piss me off, not because of pollitics but I because I think that when you are in a public area, you should a) not do stuff to annoy those around you and b) don’t bring politics into things. I’m thinking of play some old Nixon speeches just to balance things out.

Malky noticed (and those of you who have listened to the show may have noticed it as well) that the last 5 minutes of the podcast was silence. I have fixed that problem and you can download the mp3 file here. Just right mouse click on the link and select download file as…, or save file as…

Personally I thought that with the silence, it was the best five minutes that we ever did

This is just an insane story. I figure that someone had an axe to grind with the girl’s family.

They told me if Bush was reelected that the president would do away with the Government.

As I think we all know, six years ago today a tragedy occurred when two hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centers two main towers thus bringing them down. Well Rudy Giuliani’s website for his presidential campaign has gone dark today aside from a tribute to that day. Other presidental hopefuls have something on their site about it but nothing as stark as what Rudy has done.

I was looking at the stats for the site this evening since I like to see where people who are visiting the site are coming from and how they are coming to the site. I noticed that SaraS-P’s blog had been sending traffic our way (and thanks for that Sara & btw my sister spells her name the exact same way) and decided to go over and look at the site. Usually, I leave the perusal of infertility blogs to Malky since they reveal a little too much information for my taste (yes, I know I’m a prude) but I was interested in seeing if it was a post or blog roll that was driving the traffic. Anyhoo, I was looking around the site and noticed that Sara and a button on the site that got my attention. The button said “Of all the rights of women, the greatest is being a mother”.

That got me started thinking about something that I had been pondering for awhile.  Why is it that something like abortion can be coveredby insurance while it is so difficult to have insurances cover infertility costs unless you have really good insurance. I mean if it’s all about a woman’s right to choose, why is one choice better than the other?

An excellent open letter to the fools in Iran (and elsewhere in the world) that think that the holocaust didn’t happen.

A tip of the hat to Professor Althouse for pointing it out.

A lot of people talk about our dependence on foreign oil and how the war to liberate Iraq may have been a war for oil. But today while reading a thread on Professor Althouse’s blog, I learned who the country is that we are importing the most crude oil actually is. Care to guess? C’mon I dare you!

Well believe it or not, we are importing more crude oil from Canada than from any other country in the world. If we really are invading countries for oil maybe this movie has the right idea…

As I think we all know by now, yesterday was the 5th anniversary of the attacks that happened on September 11th 2001. I would have liked to written a post about it yesterday but I was at a conference in Chicago and got back in last night. I had left for Chicago on Sunday afternoon and had taken all of the equipment needed for our exhibiting at the conference, including a change of clothing for myself and of course deoderant, toothpaste, toothbrush, after-shave etc. And since it was just an overnight flight, I was going to carry on for the trip back.

In the afternoon, I got to O’Hare and checked on via the self service kiosk and proceeded to the security line. When I sent my bag through the x-ray machine, it got pulled over for additional checking and they took away my after-shave lotion, toothpaste and deodorant. I kind of expected it but it was annoying never the less.

What was most amazing about the trip home, was that our flight path had us passing by the twin beams of light that were pointed straight up in the air to commemorate the fallen twin towers. While we were on a decent, everyone was straining their necks or moving to the left side of the plane to see this site. When we came to the tribute, everyone was silent. It was as if we were all transfixed and were keeping our own personal moments of slience. Seeing this from the air was something quite inspiring and in spite of the terrible loss that we had five years ago made me proud to be an american.
