Obama “could be” a terrorist

If you think Obama is a shoo-in then you "misunderestimated" the power of the voters!

Sarah Palin on her interviews with Katie Couric

"I guess I have to apologize for being a bit annoyed..."

In addition of Barack Obama increasing taxes, I'm surprised that she forgot to mention how Obama would eat all the White children after he's elected President.

More "gotcha" Journalism from Katie Couric

Thanks to Katie Couric’s “gotcha” journalism, we now know more about Governor Palin and her principles on many issues that the voters consider to be important to them.

On “Drill Baby Drill”: “Should’ve started doing it ten years ago.”

On newspapers and magazines she regularly reads to establish her worldview: “Most of them, all of them, any of them.”

On global warming: “The point is, it’s real. We need to do something about it.”

On abortion: Palin would prevent a 15 year old who was raped by her father from getting an abortion. She’s in support to make all cases of abortion illegal.

On the morning after pill: “Personally, I would not choose to participate in that kind of contraception”

On evolution: “I think it should be taught as an accepted principle.” and
“I won’t ever deny that I see the hand of God in this beautiful creation that is earth…”

On homosexuality: “One of my absolute best friends for the last 30 years who happens to be gay and I love her dearly and she is not my gay friend, she is one of my best friends who happens to have made a choice that isn’t the choice that I’ve made…”

Kiva Report: Aug 2008

I’d like to report that I’ve received back over 50% of the total amount loaned at Kiva. Furthermore, all of my loans (starting in January 2008) are still active and each lender has been paying back their loans.

Way to go, lenders!

NPR: Ethanol is twice as bad for environment as burning gasoline

Study: Ethanol Worse for Climate than Gasoline

I’ve been saying that ethanol is just a short-term solution that doesn’t really help improve the environment. Worse, it only temporary addresses the oil dependency issue but not the other important issue of climate change. Vehicles with ethanol still produce emissions that causes global warming.

It’s extremely frustrating to know that at one point, we were attempting to improve and expand the development of the electric car so that it’d be practical and widely available. But thanks to Alan Lloyd, who was the head of the California Air Resources Board, the oil and car industries, and the Bush administration who did everything in their power to kill the development of the electric car.

I wish the politicians would stop being so gung-ho about ethanol and start looking at the zero emission vehicle.

yes we can

Artistically speaking, this video is well done. From the standpoint of an average person’s attention span, the video is too long. A shorter version would still convey the same message. Politically speaking, it’s a good idea (at least for those who are still undecided) to differentiate Barack Obama from the others. It’s just hard to picture any other candidates in place of him in this video. It also attempts to display a few of his very important characters of being able to reach people from different races, backgrounds, and also the younger voters who have been much more active than the previous elections.

How to really stimulate the (world) economy

I’ve recently discovered Kiva.org and became a loaner. It’s easy to see that the concept of microfinance would improve the quality of life of borrowers/entrepreneurs in the underdeveloped countries around the world. One’s life improvement means overall improvement of the person’s community, region, and country. I think of this as helping your neighbors and in return, the neighbors who are able the help themselves contribute back to the society. It’s a grand concept that would gradually improve the world economy and eventually help eliminate poverty and world hunger.
