My Daugter Kissed Ron Paul

We often hear of and see politicians kissing babies. But how often do we see babies kissing politicians? I was watching part of a show on the internet and there were a number of guests discussing various topics and issues. At one point John Stossel can onto the screen. My 15 month old daughter saw him and leaned forward and went "mmmmwaaa" and planted a big kiss right on his face! Then she sat back and continued watching with me until Ron Paul came on. When she saw him she leaned forward and again, "mmmmwaaa" placed a big kiss on his face on the computer screen. It made me laugh. My daughter kissed Ron Paul and John Stossel... she has good taste :-).

Quote From "The Alamo"

I sat down to watch "The Alamo" last night and really got swept off my feet (in a good way). This particular quote from John Wayne's Davy Crocket really got me:

"Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words."
