Awesome moment that made me smile:  
Not even a remotely positive moment today.  In fact, a horrible day.  If it could go wrong ... ::sigh::  I'm a horrible person, but at least I'm not alone.

point out something poignant I read:  
Crooks and Liars used to include a post each week which included the names of soldiers killed in the line of duty.  I haven't seen this feed in several weeks.  I guess I'm going to have to manually pull up this information every week.  It's important to me that we recognize those that gave our lives for our country.  It's more important to me that no more servicemen and women die, but since that's not really an option, the least I can do is make sure we all take a moment to remember the heroes we lost this week. Here are the names of the other service members we lost this month

Prayers go out to the families - for strength and courage to make your lives a blessing in memory of your hero.

Something I learned: T
I read an article about Rick Scott this morning and how he's ramming his propaganda no matter how improper or illegal it may be. I can't find the article now (if I find it in the future I'll post a link). When I read it I just had to laugh ... Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida ... hey republicans .. this is what you voted for. I hope you like it ::giggle:: Less government my a$$
