WHaT???

Okay, I think I may listen to NPR too often
but.....
While listening yesterday I heard this
I can't decide if I find it more offensive or funny
I really do not believe this is PC
come on Democrats I know you want the latino vote but you may have only succeded in capturing a few older latinos while alienating all the rest
We have a resident latino in our home and he does not listen to music that sounds anything like that!

Inspiration

this morning i was cleaning my floors NPR on the radio

I found myself sitting in the middle of a half clean floor listening to this amazing story.

"We are a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to educating, empowering, and loving impoverished African orphans. Our mission started with two green-eyed brothers, Patrick and Ryan Hansen, who were determined to make a difference. Ryan lives in Africa to ensure that all funding is used properly. Patrick runs the "business" side of things in the USA. Neither brothers receive a salary for what they do. 100 percent of donations go straight to those who suffer. "

I was struck when Ryan said some nights he finds himself vomiting in the corner because he is so worried about these children. This man is my same age, what an amazing use of a life. They provide the money for these children to go to private school and health education so as to prevent them contracting aids among many other things.

You can find his blog here

We hear so much of the wrong people do, I am happy when the good is spotlighted.
