Its a truthism!
Limbaugh:
We believe that the preamble of the Constitution contains an inarguable truth: that we are all endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them Life, Liberty, Freedom, and the pursuit of Happiness.
Colbert:
Of course, Life, Liberty, Freedom and the pursuit of Happiness is not in the preamble of the Constitution, its in [...]

I know there are a lot of negative reviews on Delhi 6 already, so I’ll try not to just add on those. Most of what those reviews say are fairly true. At the same time, my taste in movies tends to be very different from the mainstream and I look for different things, so I [...]

I loved the Oscars. I love the new structure…with previous winners congratulating each nominee and announcing the winner. I think that’s such a nice touch and it clearly means a lot to everyone nominated. I’m a devout Oscar-watcher but it was getting really tiring last year so it was good to mix it up. Hugh [...]

With the majority of Indian men.
Jugni, by Rabbi Shergill (aka the only Indian male voice that I can bear right now)
This is an angry rant. A very, very angry rant. I’ve been nursing a headache all evening and sleeping, occasionally waking up and trying to understand what’s really bothering me to persistently cause my brain [...]
How Suicide Bombers are Made…

I’ve really been disappointed with CNN in recent times because of their shockingly unprofessional coverage of certain events, and almost decided to boycott, but they’ve been giving mostly neutral and unbiased coverage of the Israeli attack on Gaza. More than I can say for other US news sources, which can only see one side and [...]
Are Humans Inherently Evil?

…Or do situations make them evil?
Good People by Jack Johnson
This is a subject that has fascinated me for ages, and is also one that I deem to be very important. It should be important to all of us. I like to believe that none of us are really evil, yet we all do bad, even [...]

I have no words to describe my shock, confusion, anxiety, sorrow, and disappointment, my helplessness, my anger, my frustration, my irritation, at what is happening in my country now. I do now know how to voice my thoughts. I just follow the news and think, think, think constantly.
I just want to dedicate this to all [...]

I like her already.

While what she wore to the victory speech was a little “huh?” to me initially, i agree that the red dress in the meeting with the Bush couple was am.az.ing. Love it. (seperate article)
Can’t wait till she’s officially First Lady!
