Since Obama has taken the oath we have witnessed:
a) Hezbollah lose a shoo-in election in Lebanon,
b) Pakistan begin serious efforts to control the Taliban and al Qaeda elements inside its borders,
c) Netanyahu of Israel mumble support about a two state solution and rethink settlements and,
d) A major awakening of the Iranian citizenry against the heavy-handedness of the mullahs. What hasn't changed?
The simple-minded thuggery of the Right when it comes to foreign policy has been replaced by common sense.

And I Quote
If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.
~ Theodore Roosevelt

Daily Horoscope
Today's horoscope says:
Sometimes you can get so caught up in demanding what you want that you could miss something just as good that's right under your nose.
In other words -- sometimes you shake a tree and ask the universe to send you apples right now, but instead you get oranges a week or two later.
And really, aren't both fruits equally as juicy and delicious?
So relax a little.
Go ahead and make your requests to the universe.
Go out and shake a few trees.
And prepare to be delighted by a few surprises.
Sounds like a plan to me.
