Independent film-maker Hugh Newman makes you smile with a dose of kindness. His new film “Validation” is an instant classic in my book. If you have 16 minutes, check it out. A Funny, heart-warming, uniquely quirky love story that won’t leave you disappointed.

Thanks, Billy

I received this witty chain mail just now that was rather funny. It examines the candidates educational backgrounds and tosses it in the air for you to decide. I did some fact checking on Wikipedia.org and it appears to check-out.

If You were The Boss… which team would you hire?

With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts,
stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high
prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage
crisis, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually
critical election year.

Let’s look at the educational background of the
candidates and see what they bring to the job:

Barack Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a
specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) (Attorney), (Magna Cume Laude)

Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in
political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
(Attorney)

VS.

John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 out of 899
(meaning that, like George Bush, McCain was at the bottom of
his class)

Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire to lead the most
influential nation in the world facing historic debt,
multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened
dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing
Federal spending, mortgage crisis, bank foreclosures,
highest unemployment since the Great Depression , …. THINK
FUTURE!

Have 30 seconds? This humorous, slightly exploitative piece is well worth the mention and definitely worth the watch.

Even if you are capable of these feats with smoke rings, Dolphin’s still win. Their capacity as a species must be advancing concurrent to human’s capacity evolving back into neanderthal.
