I don't know if anyone's been following this story about Caster Semenya the track and field runner from Africa. But.....it's definitely questionable. Check out the youtube videos as well...




I mean...I feel bad for her in either case - whether she doped or she's just naturally got high levels of testosterone. How embarrassing! But DANG. She SMOKED the competition! They need to let her run with the boys and see how she does.

Yes, We Can.

That's how I feel about this healthcare reform.

"Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change." - Barack Obama, January 8th 2008, "Yes, We Can" Speech.

WE WANT CHANGE.

The More Loving One

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.


-W.H. Auden
