quick commentary, just to throw something out there

ingrid betancourt: ok, so she's descendant of a French family but born in Colombia, married to a Frenchman but divorced and re-married to a Colombian why perhaps does the media refer to her as a "Colombian-French" politician? i wonder if its because if someone from Latin America is kidnapped that it is the "normalcy" so it is not widely reported upon, while when someone from Europe or Canada/US is kidnapped it becomes international news. curious.

we did it! yes we did!

halleluia! we did it, we elected mr. barack obama to lead the United States of America! i am vindicated in my belief that the people will make the right choice! it may have taken us 8 years of enduring the bush doctrine and administration to open people's eyes, and the final blow was dealt via the economy that was crippled due to reaganomics and lack of regulation in the markets by the government (both parties were guilty in my opinion), but we're back in it! yesterday i was blissfully happy, as i am today. may we keep our hopes high, but make the changes we need now by supporting our new president and uniting the country!
abraços,
