Good news if this happens

From Yahoo News-
YANGON, Myanmar - Hopes ran high among supporters of detained Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi that she would be released when her house arrest order expires Saturday, and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan appealed to the ruling junta's chief "to do the right thing."

Aung Sun Suu Kyi has been a personal interest of mine for the last few years. She is a truly inspirational person and I hope that the ruling party will release her, although I fear that even if they do it will be short lived. She is not the type to cower or capitulate to oppression just as her father was not, so I expect that even if she is given freedom it will quickly be taken away from her once it looks like she will speak to the public again. I hope that these people finally get control of their country.

My Favorite Possession

I truly LOVE the 3M projector that we "acquired" from my wife's work. I don't watch everything on it, but when we rent a movie or by a new DVD that we're really looking forward to there is little better than to blow it up to mammoth proportions on my living room wall. It's also especially good for booty shaking videos on MTV Hits late at night. I'd personally like to thank our wasteful government for giving it to us (rather than throwing it away). If they could also see it in their hearts to give us a theater style popcorn popper I might actually vote Republican.
