Did anyone hear rumor about some big to-do over in Great Britain? It can’t be hockey, so I don’t know…
The press coverage over this was a bit over-the-top, but at least it detracted from the birth-certificate fiasco. I loved the headline in the London newspaper yesterday: The Day America Took Leave of Its Senses. I couldn’t agree more. I have my own theories, including what I think to be the real reason, which is there are some people who just cannot accept that a man who is not white has the intelligence and the support necessary to lead this country. But I hate political discussions, so I’ll let that be my last thought on that issue.
I’m busy trying to wrap things up today before the trip, so let’s just enjoy a wedding and maybe start that weekend a bit early. To kick off the celebration, here’s Eddie Izzard’s interpretation of British movies versus US movies:
I’ll see you all on the 9th. Meanwhile, I’ve left a trail behind for you.

Totally agree. It's always sad to see the Klan rise again under another name. And even more well-funded this time.
Enjoy your trip!
IMO, obfuscation of real issues is merely a bonus to the "birthers'" real agenda.
That said, I hope you have an amazingly productive time at the conference.
Yes, I won't comment either 😉
As someone from the other side of the political spectrum, I'll just say that it is possible to simultaneously disagree with Obama about his economic policies *and* dislike the birthers for their foolishness. I'll shut up now.
Have a great, productive trip, Lori! Don't root too hard for the Flyers, OK? I've been waiting since I was five for another Cup.
Have a wonderful and productive time at your conference, Lori!
Jake, I don't think I could physically bring myself to root for the Flyers. Not. Gonna. Happen.
Thanks, all! I'll be back on the 9th.

Lori, I'm liking you more and more. I can't stand the Flyers. I hope the Bruins take it to them. What? No blog updates from the road? I guess I can wait. Have a great trip and weekend! Learn lots.
