On another note, I like this article regarding Biden's response to the question of whether Obama's desire to "spread the wealth" was Marxist. I saw a brief clip of this today on CNN during lunch, and I too chuckled a little after the hearing the question and wondered whether this anchor woman was actually serious. Here are my favorite parts, not hard to pick out:
"The defenders of the status quo have always tried to tear down those who would change our nation for the better," Biden said. "They said Thomas Jefferson wasn't ... a real Christian. That was the essence of the campaign against him. Well, does that sound familiar?" he said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, they said Abraham Lincoln ... wanted to take away individual rights. Ladies and gentlemen, they said Franklin Roosevelt would destroy the American system of life. Sound familiar? And ladies and gentlemen, they said that John F. Kennedy was, quote, 'a dangerous choice in difficult times.' ... Sound familiar?"
Obama said Monday his economic philosophy today centers on protecting and empowering American workers.
"John McCain calls this socialism. I call it opportunity, and there's nothing more American than that," Obama said.
"John McCain calls this socialism. I call it opportunity, and there's nothing more American than that," Obama said.

Our collective hats off to you, Miss Rainebow. We are proud of you and wish that we ran more races. Strike that, make it any races. The underlying cause for the races are the best part, but we really just want cool t-shirts.
Hey, that's great about the 5k! If we lived closer together, you know we would have loved to run with you. Or, I'd run with you and Price would greet us with a beer at the finish line :) Congrats!
