Barack should use this as a theme song:

OK, maybe it's more partisan, but it's got that inspirational thing going on...

Sick of it All - I Believe:

I believe that joy defines sucess.
I'm aware of what causes my happiness.
I believe the distance of my reach is far beyond what
I ever dreamed.
What I dreamed shaped my creed.
All I need is self-belief.
It's all you ever really need.

I believe their world is misery.
I'm aware they speak the language of despair.
I believe in seeing through the fear.
The fear of the future that's breeding mediocrity
The opposition fuels the fire
And only strengthens my desire
To break away from what's expected
And throw it in their face.
The opposition makes me dream
Of how much better I can be
To outshine their drab existence
And throw it in their face.

"Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign intends to go after delegates whom Barack Obama has already won in the caucuses and primaries if she needs them to win the nomination.

This strategy was confirmed to me by a high-ranking Clinton official on Monday. And I am not talking about superdelegates, those 795 party big shots who are not pledged to anybody. I am talking about getting pledged delegates to switch sides."

"Bullshit attacks on his supposed lack of experience, or how out of touch with the American people he is (which, seriously, the simple act of looking at the number of people actively voting for the man puts the lie to that bullshit "reasoning")..."

Wow, awesome idea.

OK...

Which one of you is a reddit user who happened to link to the 5 dollar silver certificate I posted earlier, and titled it "This 5 dollar bill is better than the new 5 dollar bill." I mean, seriously.

Weird. While I love synchronicities like that, it kinda creeps me out.

Bless you Insomniac... for opening up code to expand game development for ALL! This is a good thing.

IANACT

I heard this on Mike Malloy tonight...

Umm, so WTF? The crowd seemed "friendly"??? So, if I seem "friendly", can I just bypass the security measures at airports? Or is it only if Barack Obama is on the plain and I look friendly, THEN I can get on? I mean, it sure takes a long time to get through the security, so surely, we can speed it up by letting friendly lookin' folks right through the line.

What the hell is this? Like I said, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this doesn't seem right, not one bit...
"DALLAS, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- The Secret Service told Dallas police to stop screening for weapons while people were still arriving at a campaign rally for Barack Obama, a report said.

Police stopped checking people for weapons at the front gates of Reunion Arena more than an hour before the Democratic presidential hopeful appeared on stage Wednesday, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported.

Police said the order to stop using metal detectors and checking purses and laptop bags constituted a security lapse, the newspaper reported.

Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence -- who heads the department's homeland security and special operations divisions -- told the Star-Telegram the order had been intended to speed up seating of the more than 17,000 people who came to hear the candidate speak.

Lawrence said he was concerned about the large number of people being let in without being screened, but that the crowd seemed "friendly," the newspaper said.

Several Dallas police officers -- speaking on condition of anonymity because the order came from federal officers -- told the newspaper it was worrying to see so many people get it without even a cursory inspection.

The Star-Telegram said the Secret Service did not return a call seeking comment.
