Liveblogging the Queen and Barbara Walters
The queen conveys without words.
Important Fact 1 - President Bush does not DO White Tie!
"I am just a ornament." - President George W. Bush
"No, you are a nornament." Queen
Waving.
You cannot see the ceilings of Buckingham. I scrape my head on mine.
"She's got a neat twinkle in her eye." GWB
"It's called Baraka." Barbary Walter
"She's the queen of the British monarch." - nobodaddy in crowd
(I am reminded of Goofus and Gallant". )
Oops. He DOES do white tie. His explanation though makes it clear that he doesn't fully realize that she was, is and will be. He only was. His isness could stand a clintonizing.

Organic Love Dance Deemed Most Beautiful
Pilobolus: A performance merging dance and biology (video)
Otis Cook and Jennifer Macavinta perform the organic love dance, "Symbiosis."
The music, recorded by the Kronos Quartet on Nonesuch Records, is a compilation of works: "God Music" from Black Angels by George Crumb, "Fratres" by Arvo Pärt, and "Morango ... Almost a Tango" by Thomas Oboe Lee.
The flow and tenderness of the dance defies time and gravity -- something you'll never see of hear on prime time game shows with dime store dancing. Much freedom is given the dancers by the liberating music of Crumb, Part and Lee. Many dancers never seem to understand how restricting so much of popular music really is.
I hope you enjoy this. It is worth the wait.

Iddybud Journal: Iraq-Recession Campaign
Iddybud Journal: Iraq-Recession Campaign
Jude's excellent summation of the Iraq-Recession Campaign...
[excerpt]
"This morning, former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth Edwards joined top anti-Iraq war leaders to announce the launch of a new nationwide, multimillion dollar campaign aimed at shining a light on the cost of war in Iraq. The new Iraq/Recession Campaign was launched with a teleconference.
As economic concerns weigh heavily on the minds of Americans, opposition to President Bush's reckless war in Iraq continues to grow. The massive cost of the war in Iraq- hurtling toward one trillion dollars - has increased demand for a strategy to bring U.S. troops home. The Iraq/Recession Campaign will highlight the majority of Americans who want to see leadership on investing in critical priorities at home and establishing real security throughout the world."

Animals are our connection with Eden
I was saddened to hear that Jude Nagurney-Camwell lost Cora, her cat and companion for many years.
The cat in the picture is not Cora, but looks like her. Cora was given a good life, and a peaceful death, with caring souls all around. Even in such pain and sorrow, such tender and caring feelings are good for the soul and humanity...and felixity.
(I hope I'm using that word correctly.)
Peace
Dave

The Edwards Primary: Obama Edition
Obama Meets Edwards, Pledges Party Remake
"Obama asked for an endorsement. But he also provided the former senator and his wife with detailed arguments about why he would be a stronger Democratic candidate in November, and an outline of how he would seek to implement progressive economic reforms as president.
A key part of the discussion focused on a priority of John Edwards: writing a Democratic platform that outlines a genuine change agenda.
"The meeting with John, we just wanted to talk about how we can move the party in a direction that focuses on middle-class issues, relieving poverty, reducing the influence of special interests in Washington," Obama acknowledged Sunday night."
