While waiting for the keynote address by Keith Ellison, (MN, Congr.), we were treated to four types of bourbon and bacon-laced treats thanks to a union from Wisconsin.
I think I have had potatoes in some form most every meal while I have been in ND and MN, which is the way I grew up. In most cases, they were fried. I think there was even a day where I had bacon at all three meals!
Then we went downtown clubbing - Minneapolis is nice this time of year.
Netroots Nation will be June 7-10 next year, in Providence, Rhode Island - we were all invited by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who also spoke.
It started in Tunisia with anger over WikiLeaks' revelations about the Government's corruption there... Then on 25 Jan the virus spread to Egypt and now the Arab Street is on Fire... The Sunset Call To Prayer Is In Less Than 1 hour from now....
It's American women, like this Professional Class, clueless dolt, that make my life here in Germany much, much, harder than it has to be.
This breathless 'can't see past the nose on her face' astonishment thing of hers over the the fact that the rest of the world does not see America as The Sun that Planet Earth Revolves Around is exactly why the 95% of rest of the world has come to not have much, if any, respect left for We The Peoples of the USA.
And she's one of the smarter, better educated, and better traveled Americans.
Which, I guess, if Google is right, and she's a Product of GWU's MBA Program, majoring in, get this:
Business Administration Marketing & International Business is yet another indictment, (of a long line of them), of America's Higher Education System.
As well as the Elite Business School MBA Class. When I worked at Andersen Consulting in the late 1990s the place was rife with these idiots. You'd have thought we'd have learned our lesson over the course of this past decade, and started to produce better and more competent people, but I guess not.
And if Google is further right, and this is actually what she does for her Career, then things are even worse than I thought.
I'm so embarrassed by this I don't even know where to start.
BTW, I had a devil of a time finding a can of Campbell's New England Clam Chowder this past winter in the Marienplatz because American produced foods are, rightfully, not prominently displayed. Especially in the nicer German supermarkets.
And why should they be, when the other 95% of the world's people have so much better food to offer than America does?
I knew a kid in Fifth grade. He thought Hitler was A communist, too
Glenn Beck's hate filled speech boycotted by all sane people and quite rightly so.
What is that sniffling? Poor Circus Clown of Foxland Cry us a river
Give me your fearful Your easily influenced Oh- and a chalkboard
Here's what it's been:
We're taking it up a notch. Starting at 9am on April 7, we're sending one haiku a minute directly to Glenn Beck for 24 straight hours. You can help - click the Twitterstorm icon next to any haiku and tweet it to Glenn Beck directly. Help make sure Beck hears our message! (See how we're doing.)
The Gates Notes - He's just like us! Only richer! (I was on the same plane home from Paris with him once, and on the same trip, met Jean Paul Gaultier!)
Since leaving my fulltime job at Microsoft to dedicate more time to our foundation, a lot of people have asked me what I'm working on. It often feels like I'm back in school, as I spend a lot of my time learning about issues I'm passionate about. .. Bill
