photo op (photo opportunity)

Revverd up,but running?

Sarah Palin on a Harley today.

But is this just another photo op?

Dressed head to toe in black,
Sarah Palin started her bus tour
on the back of a motorcycle,
arriving uninvited at
the Rolling thunder Memorial,
which honors POWs,
and grabbing
much of the media attention.

So is this a launch of
a presidential campaign,
or a publicity tour?

It indicates a desire on our part
to get across America
and remind others
about our foundation;
How important it is to respect
and protect our Constitution.

Political professionals
are left wondering
if Palin is serious about running.
when she was asked directly
"Are you running for president?"
the answer:"Don't know."

misgivings

The long-hidden Kennedy recordings:

Amerika's young president worried about sending men to the moon.

Landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.

Surely,JFK himself never worried out loud that a manned landing on the moon was a good idea;well,listen closely,he did.

Do you think the lunar,the mannned landing on the moon is a good idea?

Yes, sir.

In these latest tapes from the Kennedy Library,it's September 18,1963,James Webb, head of NASA,is helping Kennedy work through a whole list of misgivings.

Why should we spend that kind of dough to put a man on the moon?

Doubt,well,we never saw it.

And that coutdown to the moon that to Kennedy seemed so fa in the future and to us now so fa in the past;it happened.

think twice

Peter Thiel made billions co-founding PayPal and investing in Facebook.
Now he wants Americans to think twice before going to college mindlessly.


If you have a great idea now,college can wait.
Facebook was started in 2004.
If all the people involved had finished their education,it would have been too late for that business.


Thiel is backing the first scholarship aimed at college-age students that requires them not to go to college,at least not right now.
That's why Jim Danielson is pulling the plug on Purdue.
No engine at all,doesn't use gas at all.
It's all electricity.
He started tinkering with this old Porsche in high school and managed to turn it into a fully electric car.


If I passed up this opportunity and waited till I finished my college deagree,a lot could be changed.
