I noticed that Community Magnet Charter School in California disabled the comments on their video. However, they still have the video up on their home page: http://welovecmcs.com/

I'd like to suggest that people could also make donations through Christian Relief Fund. They were already doing humanitarian work in Haiti before this disaster, and a "worker already located in Haiti is supervising efforts to rush emergency supplies - initially, food and water, the most urgently needed items, to affected children and families in Port au Prince, Haiti. Another team is enroute and should arrive on Thursday in Cap Haitian, Haiti. The group plans to take a truck loaded with rice, beans, and water into the capital city as soon as possible. "

I like CRF because they truly seem to be in the business of helping people, not profiting off people's misfortunes. They have an outstanding record with Charity Navigator, and the head of the organization only draws a modest salary.

I wonder who was cast in the role of the Teleprompter?

Good point. Maybe the picture of the vacuum is to symbolize how bad his performance sucks?

I like the picture of the woman with the vacuum cleaner. It's probably the only honest work that's been done in the Oval Office since Obama took office.

Ed Asner supports the cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and has worked to obtain his freedom. I just can't watch anything made by a man that condones the murder of policemen. I wonder how the widow and family of Officer Daniel Faulkner feel about Asner's activities, both on and off screen?

I'm boycotting too, wouldn't watch Clooney if you paid me.

Personally, I think some grownups have a hard time distinguishing between fantasy and reality. There are groups of adults that meet together that try to use what they learned from "Harry Potter" to make "real magic" in their lives. I think it's rather silly, but they try to change their lot in life because they believe in the power of "Harry Potter", instead of believing in the powers of self-detemination and hard work.

Also, look at all those people in Arizona that died in that sweat lodge. They paid up to ten grand each, but it seems that they listened more to the fantastic promises of a self-help guru than their own reasoning.

I am not equating "Twilight" with either of these situations, I just wanted to say that it seems that for many people, whether adults or children, the line between reality and fantasy is getting blurrier and blurrier for them. I think it is prudent to remind people that some fantasies are not helpful to a person's life.

Is it me, or is Obama on tv more often than the GEICO lizard?

Have you checked out the "Spurious Quotes" section of the official Jefferson wiki? http://wiki.monticello.org/mediawiki/index.php/Ca... They debunk a lot of the so-called "quotes" of Jefferson that are posted online today. Imo, everyone that is interested in the truth of history should take the time to find out what Jefferson did or did not say.
