Video of 2 Billion Dollar House dubbed “Antilla” that is 400,000 Square Feet

On a private island with scenic views of the Bombay skyline this ridiculous monstrosity is allegedly feng-shui through-out and includes a separate floor for a yoga studio as well as a movie theater. The rich get richer folks, while the rest of the world decays in its own filth.

Quote of the Day - Barack Obama’s Beliefs Through his Words

First off, thanks to Brainy Quote for providing these great quotes from Barack Obama.

This is a little bit of an experiment on my part. As I was reading through the list deciding which one to post, I realized that any single quote could sway your thoughts about the man either for or against his beliefs, so I decided to include a broad range of his words so you can get a fuller picture of him. Enjoy.

A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, ‘Huh. It works. It makes sense.’

Barack Obama

Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition between careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career.

Barack Obama

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Barack Obama

I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator.

Barack Obama

I don’t oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.

Barack Obama

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

Barack Obama

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.

Barack Obama

In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

Barack Obama

It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.

Barack Obama

John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.

Barack Obama

Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.

Barack Obama

My favorite quote is the first one. Which one is your favorite?

I am on friendfeed.com, why aren’t you yet?

Hello readers, browsers, info-snackers, crawlers, and spies. I want to let you know there is a better way to follow what I am doing besides just following my latest posts. Do you want to see what I find interesting on the internet and bookmark? Do you want to see my micro-blogging on twitter? Do you want to read my reviews on yelp? Do you want to see my netflix queue? Do you even care?

Well, the amazing thing is, is that this service is free and you and your cohorts can use it to follow and be followed and updated and joined in the conversation that is going on all around you that is, for the most part, external to the blogosphere. It can be a great tool for businesses to manage their brand as well, even though I think a simple google alert can do that just as well for a neophyte web 2.0 adopter.

Friendfeed is what I am talking about. And it may very well be the harbinger of death to the blogosphere as we know it, at least comments wise.

So, I hope I have convinced you to at least check it out. No, I am not getting paid to push friendfeed on the masses, I just think that the masses will find it extremely useful and engaging, if not downright addictive and distracting. Check out their FAQs page if you are still skeptical.

BTW, barack is winning PA and winning the democratic nomination, for better or worse.

Quote of the Day - on sacred cows and voting meat

“Sacred cows make the best hamburgers.”

- Abbie Hoffman

We throw ourselves at the mercy of the giant twin arches. McDonalds, our great dark lord, please do not smite us until we eat and drink and be merry via our happy meals.

- The Constant Skeptic

Sorry for the lack of posts, have faith more will be coming, including an enticing, mouthwatering review of ~~chemtrails~~ contrails.

Stay tuned and remain skeptical. If you are in PA, make sure you go out and vote. Brave the pattering storms and speak your mind to the powers that be. At worst, you can vote for yourself. That is what I do.

Check out the latest delegates breakdown here via the glorious google maps mashup.
