Barack “Do as I say, not as I do” Obama . . .
Politics as usual.
Preaches equality of staffing and pay, and then does the opposite.
Go Obama.
The Democrats almost nominated the first female presidential candidate. Will news like this make those Hillary supporters even less enthusiastic?

The real Dr. No, the original
I supported the original Dr. No in the 1996 primary, which he didn’t win because, in his words, “I’m too ugly to be president.” That’s JUST the guy you want!

For hoops Junkies - your link of the day
What makes a great hoops coach? Not what he knows, but how he uses what he knows . . . and that’s what separates the copycats from the geniuses. (and this guy feels like D’Antoni leans more toward the latter, which I agree with - the guy is a true innovator and adapter and plays the best style his teams are capable of).

So, knowing this, why do men wear suits to worship services?
Anne Hollander’s Book, Sex and Suits: The Evolution of Modern Dress, explains that the modern day business suit is a direct descendant of medieval armor, the clothing worn underneath plate armor, the clothing worn by warring men. As the warring/power class evolved, the means of waging war changed, and so did the clothing - with the suit of armor done away with and it’s modern-day equivalent replacing it, the business suit (became mandatory dress for men in the house of parliament).
That’s why suits are worn in business - they’re the modern day suit of armor that men wear when they go off to fight their battles.
Knowing that, why do men wear suits to church? I’ve never much cared for the practice, so long as it’s been seen as the “established” dress of priesthood. But, personally, I do like to wear a nice suit now and again, though with a bevy of small children I often opt out for garb more easily cleaned.

My pet peeve
People who leave me voice messages while they’re chewing food. Smacking and all that yucky stuff.
Just had a voicemail where the person was smacking and chewing while leaving a message. Gross.

Two inspiring things to share
First, for everyone, this incredible short music-video/film that will take you all over the world and have you laughing and smiling when you’re finished watching it. This guy has a great vibe to him.
Second, for my LDS friends, I read a talk today (word format) given in a Stake Conference by a woman who is a gifted speaker and has profound insights. Do yourself a favor by downloading and reading.

Another cool Vampire Weekend video and song
This one’s called A-Punk . . .also one take. Kind of “coldplayish” (not the music, just the video)
