The more I observe people, the more convinced I become that the secret to a successful life is that there is no secret. You get out of it what you put into it - end of story.

Thought For The Day
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

Ramblings
I can't believe the Republicans are "concerned" that Obama's recovery plan might add too much money to the national debt. Where were they when Bush turned a $267 billion surplus into a $1.2 trillion deficit; the largest deficit in the history of the United States? We didn't hear a peep out of them then.
I don't know what infuriates me more, Cheney defending kidnapping and torture, or Bush defending the Hurricane Katrina response. Both of them are pathetic. Is there really anyone in the world who believes Cheney when he says that waterboarding is not torture, and that it was only used three times by our agents? I think he meant to say three hundred times, or maybe three thousand times. We should try it on him and see if he still thinks it's not torture.
Bush seems to have forgotten all of those poor black people outside of the New Orleans Convention Center after the hurricane literally dying of thirst in the heat. I still think if they had been white, there would have been National Guard helicopters bumping into each other trying to deliver water to them.
I have a poster on my cubicle at work of a flooded New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. It's been there for years, and every now and then someone asks me when I'm going to take it down. My answer has always been, "when Bush and Cheney are gone and we can start cleaning up the disaster they left behind." It's hard to believe that day is almost here!

Thought For The Day
What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
