A couple of weeks ago, there was a program on National Geographic Channel that featured some little-seen/heard film and audio from the weekendsurrounding the JFK assassination. I recorded it on the DVR that is built into my U-Verse "cable" box.

Somewhere along the line — at a wedding, at a child’s birthday party, in third-grade music class — everybody has done the hokey pokey. Admit it: you sang the silly song, you did the silly dance.

In his speech tonight at West Point, President Obama said he will send some 30,000 U.S. troops into Afghanistan, between now and mid 2010. He then plans to begin withdrawal of U.S. forces, beginning in about 18 months. History has not favored those foolish enough spend blood and treasure there.
