The right wing is stirring up the racist and reactionary elements in America. Frank Rich and Shepard Smith are right on the money.

http://digg.com/world_n... Silvio Berlusconi is operatic. His persona mingles mafioso, mogul, and multi-billionaire playboy in such a bloated, Boteri way that he becomes self-parody. El Pais publishes nudes from his private hideaway. Such a president makes Clinton modest in his private life.

I be the wild rose cherisher; Capturing blood buds, thorns and All with just me bare hands. No blade against these sharp green claws. Cool molten bolds comfort me flesh. Petals heal the torn cups of me palms. I brew wine from rose...

Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity | Video on TED.com - http://www.ted.com/talks...
I spent eight years working with k-12 children in the Poets-in-the-schools program. Children often wrote with imagination, creativity and insight that I found rare in adults. I believe Elizabeth Gilbert's advice here is both wise and childlike.
