| Something must give — or will the fight be stopped?
I participated in last Saturday's Washington caucus... hundreds were there and it was overwhelmingly white but Barak Obama took 70% of the votes. This was repeated all over the state... I met long-time Republicans who had turned from that party and were happy to lend their support to Obama and his forward-looking message. I saw so many college age people there too - inspired for the first time to step up to their civic responsibilities. Anyone who can work those feats in politics-weary USA has that special something. Hillary's team waxes about experience. No single person can ever hope to be completely ready and all-knowing. Our aim is not to elect a competent manager in November but a leader. Obama is one of that rare breed. A leader. .

Take food cues from Greek diet
The ingredients in Greek cuisine are described as food of the gods. When you dip into the stories of Greek mythology, the literature is rife with examples. Milk from the goat Amaltheia was said to have nourished the great god Zeus, who was born in a cave on the island of Crete. According to myth, a bee nestled in that same sacred cave was the original source of Crete's delicious velvety honey. Citrus fruit was created by Gaea, the goddess of the earth, as a wedding gift to Zeus and Hera, and then closely guarded in the Garden of Hesperides, far from the inquisitive eyes of Minoan mortals. .
MTV Does Another NYE in NYC
MTV rang in the New Year with another star-studded party in their studio overlooking Times Square. Not only did the revelers have a prime spot to view the ball drop, but they were treated to performances by Kid Rock (with Rev Run), Mary J. Blige, Good Charlotte and more. I guess that means Joel didn't get to start the new year with a kiss from Nicole, but I'm sure he'll make up for it back in LA. Cutie VJ Damien Fahey looked dapper in his three piece suit for the big night. The hostess of the party was Tila Tequila, who took the opportunity to announce that her first shot at love didn't work out and she's doing another season of her reality dating show. Who's excited? To see more from the party including Mary J. Blige, Wyclef Jean, Kid, Rev Run, Damien, Joel and others just read more .
