Hawaii update with photos I found on the Internet
Since I didn't bring the cable from my camera, I thought I'd send over highlights of my trip thus far with images I have managed to find on the Internet. I know I was pretty anti-Hawaii before this trip, but I must say that I am turning into a Hawaii convert.
My room with the insane ocean-front and dolphin pool view while on the Big Island.
The organic Kona coffee I brought for me and Erica to enjoy on the weekends.
My room in Waikiki that has an even more insane view of both the ocean and Waikiki Beach.
The cutest Hawaiian slipper earrings that I just bought.
The best fried pork chop I've ever had is found at Waikiki's Side Street Inn.

Off to Hawaii
One of the best things about my job is the free stuff. This week I am off to Hawaii (Big Island and Waikiki) for a press trip. I'll post updates if I can!

Ann Coulter is a scumbag

Fallout Over Coulter’s Antigay Remark
There’s some big fallout from the meeting in Washington of the Conservative Political Action Conference, three days of conferencing, caucusing, presidential addressing and book-hawking. These conferences have historically been known for displaying what its own organizers would describe as over-the-top behavior, and one of the regular speakers – Ann Coulter – offered an example of it when she used an anti-gay epithet on Friday to describe John Edwards, the former senator from North Carolina and Democratic presidential contender.
“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards,” she said, speaking to an overflow room of activists.
That rehab remark was apparently a reference to Isaiah Washington, one of the stars on Grey’s Anatomy, a television series, who called a co-star T.R. Knight anti-gay names and went to rehabilitation over it.
Mr. Edwards’s campaign quickly responded.
“John was singled out for a personal attack because the Republican establishment knows he poses the greatest threat to their power,” said his campaign manager, David Bonior. “Since they have nothing real to use against him, Coulter’s resorting to the classic right-wing strategy of riling up hate to smear a progressive champion.”
Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee chairman, said: “There is no place in political discourse for this kind of hate-filled and bigoted comments. While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds.”
Democrats were not the only denouncing Ms. Coulter. “The comments were wildly inappropriate,” said Brian Jones, a spokesman for Senator John McCain, a Republican candidate for president who did not attend.
Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, said: “It was an offensive remark. Governor Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect.
The question of whether the remark was offensive enough aside, the Edwards campaign saw an opportunity in the remarks of a woman who is about as popular in liberal Democratic circles as Hillary Rodham Clinton is in Republican circles (not very). Mr. Bonior sent an e-mail to supporters last night urging them to make contributions to the Edwards campaign.
“If we can raise $100,000 in “Coulter Cash” this week, we can show that bigotry will only backfire on those who use it,” Mr. Bonior wrote. “John is not the first progressive leader to face this kind of slime, but together, we can make sure he is one of the last.”
Times being what they are, Mr. Bonior let in to a little bit of excess in his plea for cash. “Coulter’s attack was no accident,” he said. “It happened on national television at one of the year’s biggest conservative conferences. Dick Cheney and most of the Republican candidates were in the audience. She was even introduced by Mitt Romney.”
Mr. Cheney was not there. Mr. Romney preceded her and mentioned that she was speaking later — he jokingly referred to her as a “moderate” — but he did not formally introduce her.
That said, attendees said that Ms. Coulter not only spoke warmly about Mr. Romney but all but endorsed him.

Double Congratulations to Ana and Karim
One of my oldest and dearest friends in the world, Ana, tried calling me for weeks. However, she was doing so from a new phone number and since I tend to not answer calls from numbers that I don't recognize, I didn't answer.I accidentally answered one of her calls yesterday and boy am I glad I did. Turns out that she's PREGNANT! Funny enough, she also happens to simultaneously engaged. (Shotgun wedding anyone?) ;)
I was so happy to hear her news, that I blubbered like a baby. Ana is one of the most amazing women I know and she will be an out of this world mother. Having said that, her mans is quite a catch as well, so the baby is more than in good hands. Plus they are both hot, so chances are these two aren't bringing forth into the world an uggo.
Congratulations Ana & Karim!

Barack Obama for President!
Obama makes it official
Associated Press
Springfield, Ill. — Barack Obama announced his bid for president Saturday, a black man evoking Abraham Lincoln's ability to unite a nation and a Democrat portraying himself as a fresh face capable of leading a new generation.
"Let us transform this nation," he told thousands shivering in the cold at the campaign's kickoff.
Mr. Obama, 45, is the youngest candidate in the Democrats' 2008 primary field dominated by front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and filled with more experienced lawmakers.
In an address from the state capital where he began his elective career 10 years ago, the first-term U.S. senator sought to distinguish himself as a staunch opponent of the Iraq war and a White House hopeful whose lack of political experience is an asset.
"I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change," Mr. Obama said to some of the loudest applause of his 20-minute speech.
Mr. Obama is looking to cap his remarkable, rapid rise to prominence with the biggest political prize of all — the presidency. His elective career began just 10 years ago in the Illinois Legislature. He lost a bid for a U.S. House seat, then won the Senate seat in 2004, a relatively smooth election made easier by GOP stumbles.
In his speech, Obama did not mention his roots as the son of a man from Kenya and a woman from Kansas, his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia or the history he would make if elected. That compelling biography has turned him into a political celebrity.
Instead, he focused on his life in Illinois over the past two decades, beginning with a job as a community organizer with a $13,000-a-year salary that strengthened his Christian faith. He said the struggles he saw people face inspired him to get a law degree and run for the state legislature, where he served eight years.
He tied his announcement to the legacy of Lincoln, announcing from the building where the future 16th president served in the state Legislature.
"We can build a more hopeful America. And that is why, in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a house divided to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America," Mr. Obama said. His voice rose to a shout as he spoke over the cheers from thousands who braved temperatures in the teens.
"I know it's a little chilly, but I'm fired up," Mr. Obama said as he took the podium with his wife Michelle and daughters Malia, 8, and Sasha, 5, with U2's "City of Blinding Lights" blaring on the speakers.
After the speech, the family, several dozen members of the media and the new campaign staff boarded a plane — "Obama One," a flight attendant called it — for Iowa, where Democrats are scheduled to have the first chance to vote for the nominee.
The senator and his wife greeted reporters in the back of the plane, but Mr. Obama insisted he just wanted to say hello and didn't want to be quoted.
His first Iowa event was a town hall meeting in a packed high school gym in Cedar Rapids, where he removed his suit jacket because he said he was warm with his long underwear on. "No whistling," he joked.
Mr. Obama spoke for an hour but only had time to take five questions from the audience, covering foreign affairs, defense and education. The audience groaned when he said he had to leave, but he promised to return.
"There was a big crowd today," he said. "But let's face it, the novelty's going to wear off."
Mr. Obama gained national recognition with the publication of two best-selling books, "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," and by delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 — the same year he was elected to the Senate. His optimistic message and personal story immediately sparked talk of his White House potential.
Brenda and Michael Talkington, who live near Muncie, Ind., said they have never been involved in a political campaign, but both were laid off from jobs with a lighting company and plan to volunteer for Obama. They got up at 4:30 a.m. to make the speech.
"He makes you feel like it is possible to change things," Brenda Talkington said.
She seemed to be reading from Obama's playbook.
He spoke of reshaping the economy for the digital age, investing in education, protecting employee benefits, insuring those who do not have health care, ending poverty, weaning America from foreign oil and fighting terrorism while rebuilding global alliances. But he said the first priority must be to end the war in Iraq.
"It's time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war," he said. He noted that he was against the invasion from the start.
Mr. Obama talked how previous generations have brought change — fighting off colonizers, slavery and the Great Depression, welcoming immigrants, building railroads and landing a man on the moon.
"Each and every time, a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done," he said. "Today we are called once more — and it is time for our generation to answer that call."
Mr. Obama said it is because of Lincoln that Americans of every race face the challenges of the 21st century together.
"The life of a tall, gangly, self-made Springfield lawyer tells us that a different future is possible," Mr. Obama said.
"He tells us that there is power in words. He tells us that there is power in conviction. That beneath all the differences of race and region, faith and station, we are one people. He tells us that there is power in hope."

Are Brits Racist?
I’m a huge follower of the Brit tabs and there is a current situation where the show Celebrity Big Brother has created an international incident, specifically with India. Essentially, what’s happened is that three girls in the house (Jade Goody - reality TV star, Danielle Lloyd – a topless model and Jo O'Meara – former S Club 7 member) have been racially bullying one other girl, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. Jade Goody appears to be the leader of the gang and was kicked off with a whopping 82% of the viewers voting for her eviction.
I’ve spent the day watching all the clips I could find and I gotta say Jade, Danielle and Jo are clearly a bunch of ignorant, racist bitches. Resulting from this situation is a renewed microscope on racism in Britain. As much as I love London, I do have to admit that whenever I’ve visited there, I can’t say that I have ever felt that London is a truly multi-cultural city.
The bureaucrats of course are trying to spin it so that Jade is the scapegoat for the racist behaviour and that the others were just sheep. They are trying to portray her as an aberration and will probably bury her in bad press until she disappears altogether. Anyone who has watched the show will notice however, that even when Jade was not in the room, four other white people in the house made racist comments about Shilpa.
The sad reality is that what’s happened in this seemingly frivolous reality TV show is probably happening all over Britain every day. There is no way that these people would have behaved this way on national television if they thought their behaviour was wrong. These are media savvy people.
What they didn’t count on was the media storm that it created. Racism sells papers. Jade wasn’t publicly condemned because the British public thought she was a racist. She was hung out to dry because of the media (both in England and in India) told them that her actions were racist. Some reports show people still cheering for her and defending her actions.
Doncha just love it when reality TV actually makes you think for a change?

Stomach Flu!
As I was just recovering from yet another nasty cold, guess what I got for the first time? I GOT THE STOMACH FLU!
This is the absolute worst I've ever felt.
All I have to say is, BE CAREFUL. It's going around and it is nasty.
It even took out the Montreal Canadiens.
