Um vídeo mostra que as contingências da vida são muito maiores que nossas idéias para ajeitar o mundo.
"Thank you. Fellow citizens, for eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your president. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence, a time set apart.
Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey we have traveled together and the future of our nation.
Five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of American democracy. In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the American people. Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land.
This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation. And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-elect Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.
Tonight, I am filled with gratitude to Vice President Cheney and members of the administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime.
And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me. I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits. And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years.
This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house, September 11, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor.
I remember standing in the rubble of the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke- filled corridors at the Pentagon and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93.
I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son's police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge.
As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. And I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.
Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community, and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists' movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots.
And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored Al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school."

Descobri o segredo da vitória de Obama!! Aproveitem com moderação!!
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
And, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Mais uma inédita, desta vez é uma sobra(?) do Time out of Mind.
To fucking cool.
Essa é uma daquelas músicas inéditas que você fica se perguntando. Não foi lançada, como assim?
Pegada country da boa!
Esta é sobra de estúdio do Oh Mercy.
Cold Irons Bound...quem viu Dylan ao vivo não esquece!
These guys rocks!!!
Dylan, que tal um show ao vivo completo com essa banda!!???
Eu que não posso mais esperar para ter minha edição especial de Tell Tale Sings.
Reparem que a letra é bem diferente do que está no álbum. Amazing Grace!!!
Mississippi...com legendas em espanhol. Não precisa nem dizer muito...deixe Dylan ser o song and dance man!
Apenas algumas palavras: James Bond meets Die Hard with a Vengeance!
Parece que teremos uma boa safra para o próximo ano. Eis o trailer do novo Fincher.
E, mais importante, o filme discute nossa vida e morte de uma perspectiva diferente: o que aconteceria se ao invés de envelhecermos, tornamo-nos mais jovem com o passar dos anos?
É esperar para ver.E aqui o site oficial do filme - http://www.benjaminbutton.com/
Para quem não sabe, Gran Torino, inicialmente era um novo projeto que traria Dirty Harry de volta, mas Eastwood decidiu por não ressucitar o velho Harry.
Mas o espírito de Dirty Harry com certeza pairou sobre o filme mas com a carga que Eastwood vem trazendo a seus personagens desde Os Imperdoáveis: a discussão sobre a violência, o direito de auto-defesa (independente do Estado), crise religiosa e pelo visto, uma discussão sobre a real dignidade que acompanha o envelhecimento e a proximidade de nossa última companheira, a morte.
Ah, Eastwood declarou seu apoio a McCain, sabem como é, a true american!
Ok,
o vídeo pode confundir alguns, afinal tem muita informação em pouco tempo. Portanto, fiquem com uma ajuda de Roger Kimball, basta acessar http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerkimball/2008/09/29/who-caused-the-biggest-financial-crisis-since-the-great-depression/
