According to the Associated Press (and I am not making this up), Cuba’s dictator loves Barack Obama. “Fidel Castro appears to have a fascination with the American leader that would make Obama Girl jealous, writing obsessively not only about his politics, but of his youth and vigor.And unlike with past American heads-of-state — he [...]]]></description>

Veterans Day

 At the 11th hour of 11th day of the 11 month in 1918, the Germans signed the peace treaty that ended the First World War. Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that every November 11th be known as Armistice Day to tribute to those who served in the Great War. Things being as they are, after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Washington (CNN) &#8212; Tea Party activists and other conservative Republicans are threatening to run their candidates against more moderate senatorial and congressional candidates in next year&#8217;s primaries.
Many Washington-based lawmakers have recoiled against the notion of the primary, worried that the more electable candidates won&#8217;t make it to the general election.
I don&#8217;t think that is necessarily [...]]]></description>

	I was gone last weekend, so I wasn’t paying too much attention to the floor debate and amendment process that surrounded the health care bill.

I was in South Bend this weekend and stayed at my brother’s in-law’s house the night after the game (the drive back to Chicago was just a bit too long).

Being and Time

 I still remember my freshman year philosophy teacher intoning in mind-numbing fashion, “Being qua Being.” He was talking about the German philosopher Martin Heidegger, and his seminal philosophical work “Being and Time”.

 I never could figure out what my Philosophy teacher was talking about, and since it was my second semester and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 10,000 Hour Rule
	Malcolm Gladwell, in his book Outliers, has a basic theory about what makes people truly successful.  He says that if you have the right education, the right timing, and the right experience, combined with a truly extraordinary work ethic, you can be an outlier, somebody who succeeds beyond every one’s expectations.

Pelosi as Foch
 
It was the French General Ferdinand Foch who said during the First World War: &#8220;Hard pressed on my right. My center is yielding. Impossible to maneuver. Situation excellent. I attack.&#8221; 
 
 Foch’s tactics during the Great War, as it was called back then, unnecessarily killed thousands of French troops at the [...]]]></description>

Haley Barbour = Adult Supervision

 In the fall and winter of 1998, I had the brief chance to work for Haley Barbour at his firm Barbour, Griffith and Rogers (before Speaker-elect Denny Hastert asked me to return to the Hill and serve as his spokesman). 

 Haley was the hardest working, smartest, most capable person [...]]]></description>
