What has become of us?
Is this really how we are being represented to the rest of the world? These kind of videos are all over youtube, sharenow and other sites.
We should be seriously concerned with this kind of behavior even if it's a small percentage it's this kind of attitude that destroys everything we've tried to create.
We support the troops. Shouldn't they support us, and our values as well?

BBC NEWS - A Year in Pictures 2008
This is an amazing collection from BBC NEWS of some of the top pictures depicting the top stories of 2008. They are a mixture of emotion and a true face of the fantastic, wonderful, horrible, brutal world we live in.

Very odd Saxby Chambliss commercial
Ok, I'm sure it wasn't intentional but wouldn't the average guy have said "Uhm, let's not go with that particular take?"...
Check out Saxby's hand at the end, and how he even looks down just before the shot ends.
Again, I doubt it was intentional but it comes across a tad creepy.

Cheney indicted in criminal activity?
Wow, this will be interesting to see if this gets any sort of coverage or is quickly swept under the political rug.

The First Puppy
The above photo shows Obama with "Baby," a three-legged dog that lost its fourth limb following years of mistreatment at a California puppy mill. The toy poodle spent much of its life locked in a small wire cage. The breeders cut out Baby's vocal chords so that they would not have to hear her cries. In cages next to her, other dogs literally went insane, spinning repetitively with blank stares. Still others were gravely ill, maimed and had filthy, matted coats. A number was tattooed on the inside of Baby's ear, marking her as just one of many dogs at the mill.
