I feel confident that he's not going to brand people who disagree with his administration traitors, which is sort of nice.
I'm finding myself weirdly fascinated by the Obamas. It's like I have a crush on the whole damn family.

Recording from 1818 of a unit being bombarded.
Link to recording at the site and it's also available on itunes.

Oh, I don't mean deal with personally. Mostly I mean respect. Not that I know who John Yoo is.
