What's so funny?

The other day Molly laughed for the first time. She was sleeping and than there is was; 20 solid seconds of out loud, happy happy, joy joy laughing. I wonder what she was dreaming of? My guess is that it was a political pun relating to international economic reform she heard on the Daily Show. Speaking of the greatest show ever, on the Daily Show Joe Biden said that he would happily run with John McCain for President and that he had asked McCain to run with John Kerry. I think Biden might have some better luck, running as VP on the McCain ticket. The problem would be winning the nomination (Biden-McCain could win for the Dems, but McCain-Biden would lose for the Republicans.) I suggest the McCain and Biden make a public deal with America. McCain will run as a Democrat under the assumption that Biden will be his VP choice. If they win the nomination and than the presidency, after the first term is over, Biden will run as President with McCain as the VP. John McCain is currently the most powerful man in the world. Bush only has 18 more months, but McCain could have eight years. There is no one else is such a position. The McCain cabinet could also be an all-star team (from both parties) of policy makers. The second Daily Show news is that I am going to send a series of letters to John Stewart asking for an opportunity to be a writer (for a least a day) on the Show. I plan on writing one letter a week (Shawshank Redemption style) until I get accepted. I already have the first four letters ready.

Molly’s website will be updated by the end of the day with new pictures and a new “fun” page. The fun page will include sound clips, videos, molly stats, and I uploaded five very cool molly mosaics. Check them out at http://molly.kokopop.com/

Free Shakespeare Tickets - Contest #3

My girlfriend and I have two extra tickets to Much Ado About Nothing in the park tonight (Saturday August 7). Since we thought selling free tickets was a little unethical, we decided to have a contest to see who needs them the most. So, if you are interested please go to http://danlipka.blogspot.com/ and post a comment that best describes why you want/need the tickets. The stories can be made up, but you have to specifically say if it is fictional (true stories carry more weight than fiction, but creativity is also a good thing). If you have any questions post them on the blog or email them to me. Tickets can be picked up on the upper east side or by the theater. Contest ends at 6:00 unless something changes, (well maybe at 5:30). Good Luck. 6:14 - It's all over. We have selected and contacted the winners. I’m sorry to all those who weren’t chosen, as you all were deserving of the tickets. To those couples that couldn’t get to go, I say to spend the night together, have a roma

The Constitution and Justice

When the Supreme Court rules, they often struggle to understand the depth and meanings in some of the words or phrases in the Constitution. However, the Founders provided very clear language as to what they were trying to accomplish from a vision standpoint. Although not the law, the Preamble provides critical guidance that should be the first reference for any court ruling. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Specifically, the word "Justice". It is the very first thing they wanted to establish. Justice should be the defining feature of any law, and anything that increase injustice should be unconstitutional. The very first question at any Supreme Court hearing should always be

Lessons from History - Democracy

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" - Winston Churchill I am currently reading biographies on each of the US Presidents. I'm only on Madison, but I've learned some incredible insights into the dysfunctions of our government. Since the Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777, politicians and the wealthy have been constantly undermining justice, equality, and the idea that they should prioritize the good of the nation above all else. The disgraces of current politicians are nothing new and have been part of US political culture since our country's founding. For example, the southern states refused to adopt the constitution unless it counted enslaved people at 3/5 of a person for the purposes of having more ele
