Best of the 00's

So, Bill Simmons at ESPN beat me to this one, but I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. Since we are at the end of the "00"s, I wanted to do some polls to gauge what my friends thought was the best over the past decade. So, here is the first poll.


If you don't like the choices, feel free to add your choice as a comment.

Yellowstone and the Tetons

Sometimes you forget how big and beautiful a country we live in. I made my first trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons Nation Parks over Labor Day weekend. Here are some photos we took of the scenery.

Obama to Speak to Our Children!

President Barack Obama has prepared an internet video welcoming students back to school that stresses the importance of education, hard work, and personal responsibility.  Ironically, some conservatives in the media are telling parents to keep their children from going to school as a protest against Obama's encouragement of students to stay in school and get a good education. They are espousing crazy conspiracy theories about Obama brainwashing children or creating a secret youth army. So, I decided to go read the speech to see what the conservatives were so scared about.  After all, Obama certainly isn't the first president to address the students of our nation.  Well, after reading it, I can only conclude that those opposed to the speech are either total nutjobs or they are so opposed to Obama that they will critcize anything he does, regardless of how good it is.  You can read the transcript from the video here.
