Did anyone hear him say his father served in WWII as was mentioned in a eMail I just received? I didn't watch or listen to the BS...

Terrible speech. Hazy & vague
Sputnik ? Salmon? High Speed Rail? Just what we all dream of.

Well he did say this....

And as extremists try to inspire acts of violence within our borders, we are responding with the strength of our communities, with respect for the rule of law, and with the conviction that American Muslims are a part of our American family. (Applause.)

As a side note... in playing around with this I looked around for “word cloud” (which I think is an interesting art form) and found this site:

http://www.wordle.net/

You can paste in whatever text you have and it makes a word cloud out of it.

Neato. :-)

Hmmm. I don’t see Salmon. I see Fat Man. You know, the weapon which devastated one of Japan’s cities near the end of WWII. Poetic, considering Obozo’s intent is to destroy America.

Chico Salmon (SAH-moun) story.

When he was with the Orioles, his roommate saw him crumpling up pages of the newspaper and scattering them about the room.

"What the hell is that for, Chico?", asked the roommate.

"Ghosts, mon. If they come for me in the night, they step on wad of paper. It wakes us up, we get away."

"Oh."

Chico was a character. There are a lot of stories about him...

Salmon spelled backward is Nomlas. Makes as much sense as the speech....

Obama’s speech was a “Salmon in the Moonlight” it shined but it stunk.

The "word clouds" left out his most-used words:

"Me"

"I"

"My"

So... all of our lives depend not only on finding someone back there that can fly this plane, but also finding one that didn’t have fish for dinner.
