News Flash

I've been spending the last couple of hours on the Internet, writing and reading emails, as well as finding out what's been happening in the US.

I can't speak to your politics, but what a quote:

"People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power." Bill Clinton, Wednesday's DNC address

Trust me, this didn't just become a political blog, but please vote. I am voting absentee from wherever I am over here.

But while I'm on the subject, I also found this little passage from a Peggy Noonan piece in the WSJ, which I happened to enjoy:

"By the way, the best line of the convention so far? Ted Strickland of Ohio, when he echoed the 1988 Democratic convention joke about George H.W. Bush, that he was born on third and thought he hit a triple. Strickland said of George W. Bush that he was born on third and then stole second. It didn't get much attention in any of the commentary, but it's all people were talking about in the bars of Denver that night."

You can find her piece at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121988803885278541.html?mod=todays_columnists

Thanks Medved. You've got Seoul in a few days. Safe travels.
