Elwood Illinios, Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. 5-31-2010. Barack Obama was supposed to give a speech but got canceled due to massive thunderstorm. People were standing there, nervously looking up at the lightning storm directly above us, not cheering at all. As protocol, the secret service had to escort Obama before the buses could leave, so all in all, everyone besides the few hundred lucky ones that got on the buses early, had to freeze in the rain for hours.

Effort to contain Gulf oil stalls with stuck saw!
PORT FOURCHON, La. – The risky effort to contain the Gulf oil gusher hit a snag Wednesday when a saw became stuck in a thick pipe on a blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico.
In the following clip the ROV (remotely operated vehicle) is working at the LMRP (lower marine riser pack) trying to cut the riser pipe with a diamond blade saw. ROV gets stuck. Large plumes of gas and oil can be seen coming from the riser pipe.

Sarah Silverman: ‘Entire Fox News Channel is a 24-Hour a Day Racism Engine’!
Comedian and author attacks conservative movement, suggesting opposition to Obama is 'all coded, all implied' racism. "The entire Fox News Channel is a twenty-four-hour-a-day racism engine, but it's all coded, all implied," she continued. "Lou Dobbs used to scream on CNN about ‘immigration,' not ‘filthy Mexicans.' I suspect the racist messages about Asians that permeate the media are subtler, and therefore more difficult to combat."
