Watching CNN a few days after the election, one of the anchors was doing an introspective piece, and he said he saw this Bible quote on a church marquee in Georgia (he saw the quote while jogging):
"When the wicked bereath rule, the people mourn."
This is insane. In my opinion, this quote is very backward and it's a little shocking that this type of mentality still exists in the world.
On to a more satisfying topic: The National Hispana Leadership Institute is trying to get more Latinas into the B.O. (Barack Obama) Administration. This way they can advocate more for Latino issues and programs that would help Latinos in the U.S. . I think this is a great idea and an important cause. To find out more, go to:

I keep hearing about the Wal-Mart employee who died after being trampled Friday Nov. 28. Jdimytai Damour, 34, was working there to make some holiday money. It all happened in Valley Stream, NY. This is a SAD and TRAGIC incident and shows that our society is pathetic in some ways. Apparently some shoppers did not want to go home for the day, even after they found out someone had died (Thanks for the tidbit, Houston Chronicle).
Here is a WONDERFUL (and still relevant) quote from Thomas Jefferson:
Where the press is free, and every man (and woman) is able to read, all is safe.
I found it on the back of my Michigan Daily T-shirt. Food for thought.
