From the movie Slumdog Millionaire (a great movie). It's been stuck in my head all day long:

JAI HOOOOOOoooooooo!

Perspective

1,000 Times difference
I'm all about accountability and bringing people to justice (and I still support the stimulus). What I don't understand is why we are spending hours and hours of news talking about this tiny tiny fraction of money being spent. If you just bought a $170,000 house do you really think you'd live in the $165 dog house?

My point is this: I'd much rather hear that Congress was focused on where the vast majority of this money was going instead of spending a whole week on such a small drop in the bucket.

Self Entertainment in the Car

We brought a few favorite toys on a recent car trip, and do you know what Libby spent a good 20 minutes playing with? A hangnail. Yeah - the child was completely transfixed by this little piece of skin on her finger:

Charlie Bit my Finger

The #5 most watched clip of all time on YouTube...

I've never seen it before, but I found it quite amusing.
