Incoming and Outgoing

A very funny article on the United States President-elect Mr.Obama from the Huffington Post. It about how Obama always speaks in complete sentences.

A few excerpts:
"Every time Obama opens his mouth, his subjects and verbs are in agreement," says Mr. Logsdon. "If he keeps it up, he is running the risk of sounding like an elitist."

"Every time Obama opens his mouth, his subjects and verbs are in agreement," says Mr. Logsdon. "If he keeps it up, he is running the risk of sounding like an elitist."

The president-elect's stubborn insistence on using complete sentences has already attracted a rebuke from one of his harshest critics, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.

"Talking with complete sentences there and also too talking in a way that ordinary Americans like Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder can't really do there, I think needing to do that isn't tapping into what Americans are needing also," she said.

Well its so different from the outgoing United States President, who has spoken a few gems like these:
"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country."

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'."

"I have made good judgments in the past.I have made good judgments in the future."

"The future will be better tomorrow."

"We're going to have the best educated American people in the world."

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO.We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe."

"Public speaking is very easy."

"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."

"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.

"For NASA, space is still a high priority."

"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."
How dare those Americans elect an educated, level headed President and rob us of all the fun!

P.S: I will be publishing an article on US Presidents soon. An analysis from my perspective.

If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday...

One of my favourite songs by The Beatles. Pressure is in an all time high with stuff piling up left, right, and center. These are the times where you long for a better yesterday than a better tomorrow. If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday, But I long for my yesterday, Your yesterday, And our yesterday. I hope there is yet another day, Will it be any good like yesterday? P.S: These words are mine, song lyrics is there in the song itself. Trivia: Paul McCartney had a dream in which he heard the tune and he immediately composed the music. He didn't have any lyric and used to sing "Scrambled Eggs" instead of "Yesterday" while composing the song,

A Party...

Just came home after a party. A housewarming party. A horrible experience to say the least. Me and my parents went there just after me and mommy had a very uncomfortable talk. Looks like I have to be really careful... So was not in the best of moods. I usually hate these kind of parties when I have no company. My cousin is out of station so one is crossed of a precariously small list. When we reached there were lot of familiar faces. FIxed up a cheshire cat smile on my face and lit it up any time I saw anybody looking at me. Woman: Do you know me sonny? Me: *cheshire cat* (Who are you?) Woman: Don't know? You *blah blah* Me: *cheshire cat reloaded* (errr, I have no idea what you are talking about) Woman: Still no? Your mother *blah blah* Me: *cheshir cat revolution* (y do u bother?) Woman: Still u didnt get me? Me:NO! ( I really mean No!) Woman: Aha! You got me! Me: *smug smile replaces cheshire cat* (Did I?) Went upstairs...they were making food and the dining area...bad place to...
