Dude, where is my watch???

As you may have seen, President Bush got himself lost in the crowd in Fush Kruje... Someone noticed the fact that when he went into the crowd he had on a wrist watch. Then after the crowd kissed him, hugged him, and grabbed him, oh so lovingly, no more watch...

I just watched the video again in youtube, and yes, it is true.

Does this remind you of a joke about albanians.
When do you know you're in albania?
When you take your arm out the car window and your watch is stolen.

President Bush receives warmest welcome in Albania

Yes!!!!! This is the kind of media bullshit I like, for the benefit of my native country.
I feel content. Perfect.

IMMIGRATION BILL WITHDRAWN [FOR NOW]

sad sad day... democrats and Republicans can't come to an agreement. Leaving sarcasm aside, I don't know if they just got too tired of debating, or they need a fresh perspective to move forward. The needs of an immigrant are simple: to be able to go to school, fly to Florida on vacation, drive a car, get medical coverage, visit their families. Waiting years to get there, they will gladly pay a fine, go thru background checks and whatever else. Why is it so difficult to decide YES on this?
I guess keep on living illegally makes more sense, and so, more illegal things to come...

Our american government gives up on issues and sneaks out the back door.

We have a broken government .
We have a broken government.
We have a broken government.

Behavioral practice is the necessary catalyst of this reaction. Without action, the concept will wither and fade. Theoretical knowledge without practical application is not enough ..."
