I was really inspired when I ran across this web site, after getting a tip from my pal Carl, and I want to share it with all of my readers. It's a story of a man who passed away two years ago, but who has left behind an inspiring legacy in art.
Here's the link to a site that tells his story, and shows all of his art work. I highly recommend you take a moment and check his story out. It sure inspired me.
Obama's choice to lead Health and Human Services is the second Cabinet pick to run into tax problems, jeopardizing his confirmation.

Can you imagine if Chrysler would have come out with this baby back in the days of no seat belt laws? This art was featured on the 1960 edition of Motor Trends magazine that went for 35 cents a copy.

There's no photos available yet on the LA area family that just had octuplets, so to give the reader an idea what that many kids might look like I got this photo (right) of the Littleton Family (total 14 kids) from a blog called "Stand Your Ground."
The news this morning is that the couple who had those eight babies, also have six more children at home! That's a total of 14 kids! Wow! And in this depression too!
It's no wonder the family doesn't want their name released. They know they would be in for a media circus if they did. However, you can't hide a group of kids that large forever, and it's inevitable that the press will get this story.
Apparently the mother took fertility drugs, despite having six children already. What is your reaction to this story? Too many kids? Never too many kids? I look forward to your comments.

You gotta love it! The Iraqi's are right-on with this testament to al-Zaidi. Actually, I expect more to go up in other Arab countries. Dubya isn't popular with these people because he never treated them with respect.
A statue built for Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at former U.S. president George Bush, is seen in Tikrit, 150 km (95 miles) Baghdad, January 27, 2009.
An Iraqi town has unveiled a giant monument of a shoe in honor of the journalist who threw his footwear at former U.S. President George W. Bush.
The letters on the sign reads "Muntazer is fasting until the sword breaks his fast with blood, silent until our mouths speak the truth". Picture taken January 27, 2009.

These creatures are made from scrap metal, and have a very elaborate cybernetic look.
Edouard Martinet's gallery is definitely worth checking out: a kind of robotic zoo.

Right-wing Radio nut, Rush Limbaugh, and his slavering devotees think they have died and gone to heaven because President Obama mentioned his name the other day!
Republicans are wetting themselves while waiting in line to pay "El Rusho" homage. This poster-boy for OxyContin signed a contact extension last year for $400 million to keep rabble-rousing conservatives until 2016.
That's a scary thought. Even scarier, he claims to have 13 million listeners every week, based upon a combination of Arbitron ratings and it's own metrics.
To think that many people tune in to listen to this drug addict rant about every move President Obama makes, is enough to make a sane person hurl! Demigods like "Limp Ba" rise in times of recession/depression when people are desperate and willing to believe any propaganda that they think will improve their lives.
Sad, but true. Obama should have never mentioned his name. It was like giving him validation. It was a mistake.
The rolly-polly King of Lies has landed on that little mention of his name, and is now proclaiming himself king of the conservatives by way of this acknowledgment.
Pathetic, but probably effective in rallying his core cronies. What a world. People are losing their jobs right and left and clowns like "El Rusho" are making millions spewing hatred and lies.
As It Stands, the Republican party might as well elect Rush to head them up if he can bring 13 million voters with him!

My wife often claims that I snore. My response to her is, she snores! So we both snore at night. The trick is to go to asleep before your partner, or better yet, at the same time.
I've tried that band aide type of product to stop snoring, but it didn't work according to my wife.
So now we have a new product. I wonder if it really works. The idea of sticking something up my nose at night isn't too attractive however.
Brez premium nasal breathing aids, are the first commercially available device for inside the nose and are clinically proven to reduce snoring and increase overall sleep quality for the bed partner, according to the company.
The product launched in pharmacies nationwide this week.
Available in three sizes (small, medium and large), Brez inserts easily into the nose and gently lifts, expands and supports the interior walls of the nasal passages to reduce the resistance of airflow.
