In Memory of Martin Luther King

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1963)

It took 45 years, but what a result!!!

White House for Rent

("LA Peeps for Obama" by victoriabernal on Flickr)

For each vote of the foreseen 135 billions that will be cast in the US Elections today, McCain and Obama will have spent 8 dollars, for a total amount of over one billion dollars and without even taking into account the money spent to elect 35 senators and 435 congressmen. In 2004, Bush and Kerry spent “only” 5. And then some people say that the American housing market is declining. A billion dollars to rent the White House for four years seem quite an excellent deal!

Let’s hope it is worth it. May the best man win. Although it does not always end up like that…
