OMG!? Why try to meet with the brother AFTER you have written the book?  Can you be any more self indulgent then to try and personally promote your book in Kenya?

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , , , , , on October 7, 2008| 2 Comments »

Yesterday a friend sent me an e-mail in reference to the Emergency Stabilization Act (Bail-Out Act). My friend is a good man, and he maintains an open interest and mind in current events. When he sent me this email I saw it as open inquiry to the sad state of affairs in which we find ourselves regarding the current economic crisis. We are all looking for answers and understanding.

Couples filling out the license will now have the option of declaring themselves bride and groom, bride and bride or groom and groom. They can also leave the space blank. The new forms will be available in county offices in November….]
