(Belated) MLK Day post

We were traveling back from Florida yesterday, so I'm a day late with this. If you haven't seen his "I Have a Dream" speech in its entirety before, you can here.

Remarkable still, 45 years later.

"It's my turn (again)"!!!!!!

I'm not a Hillary hater. In fact, I could see myself voting for her if the Republicans nominate anyone but McCain. But the sense of entitlement that her husband feels is breathtaking. See here.

You know what CEO and CFO stand for. But do you know what CBO stands for?

Answer.

Is it real or is it from The Onion?

Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, who has made predicting the future an annual tradition, predicts a recession and a major stock market upheaval are on their way for the United States. . .

But don't unload your portfolio just yet. Robertson acknowledged Wednesday that his prophecy of a nuclear terror attack in 2007 failed to unfold.

He also cited information from God when he predicted on a year go that major U.S. cities would be hit by "very serious terrorist attacks" causing "possibly millions" of deaths.

No such catastrophe occurred.

"All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us," Robertson said on "The 700 Club," a television show he hosts on the Christian Broadcasting Network, based in Virginia Beach.

"So did I miss it? Possibly," he said of his unrealized prediction. "Or, on the other hand, did God avert it? Possibly. But whatever, it didn't happen, so I think we can all rejoice."

On Wednesday, Robertson, 77, implied that God informed him who will be elected president in November.

"He told me some things about the election, but I'm not going to say, because some old man on "60 Minutes" would make fun of me, so I'm not going to tell you who the winner's going to be," Robertson said, in apparent reference to CBS humorist Andy Rooney, who turns 89 on Jan. 14.
