"Shiftless Little Loafers"

If you've ever asked yourself the question "why aren't more babies gainfully employed," this is the story for you!  You can read Shiftless Little Loafers by Susan Orlean, but I recommend listening to Dave Hill read it on the NPR show Selected Shorts.

Hilarious!

Obama Eulogy: Rev. Clementa Pinckney

From the moment that I first heard it, I've said that President -- then Senator -- Obama's speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention was the best speech that I've ever heard.  At the end, I turned to my wife and said that man will be president some day.  (I assumed that this would be in twenty-ish years.  How glad I am to have been wrong in being right!)  This past week, we heard the president give an oratory performance that while different may very well have been its equal.

If you have not watched the president's eulogy for the Reverend Clemnta Pinckney, do yourself a favor and do so.  It is a masterful bit of speaking, perfect for its moment, capturing the mood of its audience perfectly.  This speech backs up everything that I've read about Pinckney.  He sounds like an impressive man indeed.

This speech put tears in my eyes -- as usual, not unusual -- and bursting forth when "Amazing Grace" rang out.  It is worth it just to hear the president sing and sing well.

What happened at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston was horrific.  This eulogy didn't back away from that horror, which is only right.  Still, at its heart it is about forgiveness, justice, redemption, and grace... for the killer, for his victims, for us as a people... and for our nation.

Here is to Amazing Grace.

Britain's Schindler, Nicholas Winton

Nicholas Winton, also known as Britain's Schindler, passed away at 106.  I'll admit that his story wasn't known to me.  Sounds like he was a hell of a man and I want to find the documentary about his efforts.



Holy crap.  The video is 90 seconds long and I was crying 15 seconds in!
