I hope we (U.S.) are doing something by way of helping these people out.
I was struck by the Time Mag's photos concerning this drought.
I also felt some guilt because, some time ago, I made fun of Perry's prayer for rain since Texas, the northern part of this catastrophe, is part and parcel of the same area of carnage.
Very sad to see these poor people suffering like this!
Main Stream Media just reported (6:30 AM CT) that the Groundhog saw his shadow today and that means that there will be at least five more weeks of winter (it used to be six weeks, but with global warming and all!) and billionaires will continue to fund people like Newton Gingrich.
So the more things do not change, the more things stay the same (what?).
We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, (audience boos) and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table," West said.

Senator Brown really really looking good in 2012 U.S. Senate race in Ohio.
I keep looking for some good things to look forward to this year in Congressional Elections.
We cannot, I repeat we cannot afford to lose the Senate and the dems are really hopeful about taking back the House!
But in the Senate far more dem seats are up for grabs.
And Senator Brown is one of my favorite favorite Senators. He has this great gravely voice. His hair is sculpted like profs in the 70's. He can answer any question at the drop of a hat. He is a liberal's liberal.

Well, certain ignoramuses who are taking over our educational system would ban Shakespeare, amend the actual history of the United States of America and completely abolish the basic sciences that took us to the moon and enabled us to send pictures of our naked girl friends to computer users all over the world.
