I am glad to see that the principle of tearing other people down, in order to build yourself up, is still popular.

It is, of course, the quickest and easiest way to build self-esteem.

I wonder if Sen. Chuck Schumer knows Whitney Houston's life story. I bet he does.


Chuck Schumer: Three branches of government "House, Senate and President" - YouTube

Seriously this has always been an issue, but Pres Obama has worked to take advantage of the phenomenon in unprecedented fashion. See the 'bring back the cool' thread by Rick Roma. It has been a problem in the past, but now it's a crisis.

Most people I know can tell you the three branches of government.

Hell I don't know every aspect about Whitney Houstons life. She was a pop singer, apparently from NJ, made some movies, married a crack head, and it all went down hill from there.

Most people can summarize her life and know the three branches of government...
