A passage

I was told by a friend of mine they banned 1984 from the school reading list. It is in our classic literature such as Ayn Ryan's work, George Orwell's work, Alas Babylon, To Kill a Mockingbird, Wuthering Heights, and so many more that we learn about human nature. We learn about the ideas before us that has shaped the world. So how can someone ban a book that is crucial to understand our lives?

I have included this short audio clip from the book. Listen and see what you think.

The little things I learned today

1."John Podesta said the president can use such orders to move quickly without waiting for Congress to act, highlighting the extraordinary powers a president can wield beyond signing legislation approved by Congress. Podesta said people should expect Obama to use those powers to reverse many policies of the Bush administration."

2. How Ex-Presidents/ Ex Prime Ministers make their money.

3. The unhappy ending to fairly tales. (Some of these are somewhat twisted. Read at your own caution.)

4. Louisiana Jindal for President in 2012

Didn't we just finish the last election, finally? It only took two and half years.
