Those Poor Guys In Red

The Michael Jackson: Billie Jean

bareboards says...

Did you notice how seldom he looked anywhere but at the floor? He knows his power -- the way he milked the first few moments, just putting on a jacket! -- and yet he holds himself so separate from a stadium of adoring fans. It broke my heart to watch him. This is one sad man.

Hey, you're welcome. I have been a lurker on this site for a long time. I wanted to contribute. However, I'm not really interested in using the "freebies" that comes with a $10 donation -- surely you know someone on this site who would enjoy them? Is it possible for me to pass them on? If not, okey doke.

Handfeeding a Hummingbird

bareboards says...

Sweet little birds?!! You perhaps don't know how territorial these little buggers can be! (And yes, they look sweet when there is only one around.)

Interesting factoid I read in OMNI magazine years ago. A biologist was describing the internal workings of hummingbirds. Because their metabolisms are so fast, they actually have a series of stomachs -- one to collect food, the next to digest it. He described hummingbirds as being essentially very fast, very small flying cows.

President Bush compares Iraq War to Vietnam

bareboards says...

Oh thank you barndrew. I am one of those bleeding heart, Bush hating liberals -- but Colin Powell got it right when he said "you break it, you buy it." The American people supported this war in the beginning. We can't back out now and leave the Iraqis with this mess. I'm not a politician either, barndew, but that is the most intelligent response to the situation as it now stands. It's too late to say we shouldn't have gone in. We did it. Now we have to pay for it with the lives of American soldiers while we come up with some plan that minimizes the mess.

Al Gore Interview With Dianne Sawyer

bareboards says...

This is so frustrating to listen to -- Gore's book is not about Bush. He says that repeatedly -- it is about fixing how decisions are made through democratic process. But what are all the banners on the screen about? Bush bashing. I am NOT a fan of Bush. I am a fan of Al Gore. To listen to him struggle to get his point across was painful. The interview with him in the recent Time Magazine is very good. There is an excerpt from the book that is very good.
