November 4, 2008 Rove predicts Obama landslide Posted: 11:36 AM ET From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney Karl Rove's Electoral prediction (CNN) – John McCain and his aides are still banking on a come-from-behind victory Tuesday, but the GOP's most famous political strategist has already called the race for Barack Obama. Karl Rove, the man widely credited with engineering President Bush's two successful White House bids, is predicting the Illinois senator will take the White House

一早起来就看到这则新闻，笑。 又想起那个小骗子为天主教会的地产进监狱的故事，叹。 Tue, Nov 4 07:25 PM London, Nov 4 (ANI): In a bizarre incident that has been described as a Wild West-style "saloon bar brawl", a priest and two nuns were seen attacking an Italian restaurant owner. The fight witnessed by passers-by started over an argument over the lease on the restaurant, owned by the Catholic Church. The 49-year-old owner revealed that he had rushed to the eatery, in the village of Rutino near Sa

前天第一次在电视上看见这个黑人明星就立即被他吸引，真正的领袖魅力。对美国今后几年前途充满希望。 ^^^^^^^^ 美国民主党两位巨星希拉里和奥巴马正式宣布参选总统，五十九岁的前第一夫人希拉里施展浑身解数，表现她的冲劲与多面性，四十五岁的非裔美国人奥巴马以年轻和才学被选民看作甘迺迪再世。两人甫一登场，民调便压倒共和党两位候选人，零八总统大选硝烟已起。 　　被美国媒体称為「政治超级明星」的黑人参议员奥巴马（Barack Obama）抢先於一月十六日在网络上宣布角逐二零零八年民主党总统候选人提名；四天后，希拉里亦在网络上宣布投

Yes America needs fresh blood!!!

这几天大家都关心有关选举的话题，我就跑个题。 孩子学区时时有各种为父母举办的讲座， 上两个星期去听了“Happier”，一个哈佛正面心理学教授Tal Ben-Shahar的讲座， 败兴而归。 昨晚的讲座是关于男孩的，“Boy Adrift by Dr. Leonard Sax”犹豫了一下， 还是决定去， 有时听讲座也不是为了听什么至理明言， 其实有两个目的，1. 要看那下了个引人注目的蛋的那个母鸡。2.bonding experience -- 和所有注意到那个蛋的人有一种同一战壕战友的感觉。讲座在当地的高中礼堂， 坐了滿滿的，有人还要站着。看来不少人关注这个问题。 近几年大学的

昨晚NBC晚间新闻披露麦坎帮和佩林帮相互指责升级。最令人绝倒的是佩林这位副总统候选人经旁人指出才知道非洲是大陆而非国名。这次我倒希望这新闻报道有误。;) 下面是CNN“不偏不牛”节目女主持坎布尔*布朗的评论，非常touche。 ;) 大意是佩林不因为参选而更聪明，也不因参选而更苯。麦坎的顾问们现在把失败怪在她头上，抖她的洋相是荒唐的。是你们选她的，是你们想把她卖给全国人民的，是你们自己的错，活该！！！ Editor's note: Campbell Brown anchors CNN's "Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull" at 8 p.m. ET Mondays through Frida

朗姆尼也一改竞选中的丑态。好样的，美国需要如此。 Romney: Obama must be 'educator-in-chief' Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney offers his advice to Barack Obama, and his views on labor unions, federal bailouts, Detroit, protectionism, and America's debts.

沉默 梦冉 早上在西湖边散步时，见到街边一堵粉壁上用毛笔写着一首诗，陆游的诗。 世味年来薄似纱 谁令骑马客京华 小楼一夜听春雨 深巷明朝卖杏花 矮纸斜行闲作草 晴窗细乳戏分茶 素衣莫起风尘叹 清明尤及可到家 诗中的深巷是杭州的孩儿巷，我早年也曾居于此巷。如诗中所言，总在多年之后，我才了知-“谁令骑马客京华”-之命，才能领悟-“小楼一夜听春雨”-之感受。“矮纸斜行闲作草”，将多少尘积笔墨消化为草。“晴窗细乳戏分茶”，眷念乡情纯朴，童真再现，聊以慰怀。 湖边赏荷时，不禁反复默诵此诗。心里感动，隐隐地如有

For all its shortcomings, American democracy is exciting: the bloodless war, mother of all sports. ;) I still have high hope for this country!

(Disclaimer: I never read WSJ, not even before it became part of Murdock's tabloid empire. I copied it from Paul Krugman's blog:) ...The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems. He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our na

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. Its the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that t

从民权运动到今天，走了四十多年。看起来很慢，其实非常之快。设想一下在中国，四十年后有可能出现一位西藏人或是新疆人的党总书记和国家主席吗？不要说民选了，就是党内提拔和民主选举也做不到吧。

我正打算今天开始读你推荐的 State of Fear，就看到这条消息。 前两天刚读了你推荐的 The Brethren，讲美国总统选举的。书里说，谁的钱多，谁就能赢。读后，我对大选的激情更加淡薄。归根结底还是钱的问题。

Anyone noticed the message from Kremlin?

达赖与豪猪 今天看到新闻，说正在日本访问的达赖不打算在年底去法国了。 http://ouline.de/topic/?id=shishi&story_id=31328 情况是这样的：1948年12月10日，在罗斯福夫人的倡议下，在巴黎召开的联合国会议上通过了《世界人权宣言》，这与后来通过的《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》、《经济、社会和文化权利国际公约》一起，构成了《联合国人权宪章》。 今年的12月10日是《世界人权宣言》诞生60周年纪念日，法国准备搞一个大型的庆祝活动。总统萨科奇已经邀请了多位诺贝尔奖获得者，也包括达赖喇嘛在内。达赖本来都早已答应了要来的，可是本周�

竞选早期就听说媒体为了能不被奥巴马阵营关在采访门外，不敢散布不利奥巴马的声音．这种做派很寒心，很恐怖．　许多如下面这条帖子所言，希望只是过去了的事情． ~~~~~~~ A Tough Question, Will I Still Have Freedom of Speech?
