US Politics: Not Hillary, No Longer Barack, but Mike Gravel is the New Star.

Subtitled: Gravel’s Got Rocks!

Senator Mike Gravel sounds a bit like a sage Al Gore who’s been around the block a couple times and is sick and tired of the hypocrisy and weakness of potential leaders. He’s bold and old and comes across as a granddad with an opinion. Perhaps, at times, a little long-winded, he’s quickly becoming my one-to-watch of all the US Presidential candidates. I hope he’s paid due attention and supported by the people as much as he’s trying to empower them.

Three videos of his thoughts; the first is a short clip from an interview on MSNBC, the second from a speech he gave in New Hampshire: “We should be guided by Eisenhower’s warning that an inordinate emphasis on military power breeds a culture of militarism that threatens all vital areas of our society.” and the third from the debate amongst Democratic candidates for the presidency on April 26th in South Carolina.





The full transcript of the debate in South Carolina is avaible from MSNBC. More videos of Senator Gravel are avaible via Google Video

Cameraphone sur une courroie transporteuse

Un de les choses le plus drole que j’ai vu dupuis longtemps: quelqun a mis leur cameraphone sur le courroie d’un restaurant de sushi au Japon. Personne a fait rien sauf faire signe de la main. Ahh, une ville sans les voleurs! Le meilleure truc, je pense, est quand l’appareil va dans la cuisine. Chouette!

Lindsay Lohan Works the Camera

This photoshoot by Cliff Watts, proves to me how talented an actress Lindsay Lohan is. Not only can she act, but the fact that she can model as so clearly demonstrated in these shots, with the variety and quality of poses offered, really affirms my respect for her. She may be a party animal and currently a bit off the rails , but her talent shines. It’s impressive.

Sentences like this make me loath French grammar:

When the noun phrase or pronoun heading a relative clause is the implied object of a preposition in that relative clause, and is futhermore animate, the normal relative pronoun to use is qui (except when the preposition is de – see 15.6 below)…

-from French Grammar and Usage by Hawkins and Towell

Really. Read that about ten times over and see if you can understand it. I hope I’m not the only one that struggles.
