► An overwhelming welcome!!!
► Watch this - he plays some hoops and hits 3-pointer on first try!!!
► Big Hat Tip to justmy2
► UPDATE Our troops in Kuwait mob the future Commander-in-Chief. Notice how they ask Barack to sign his Rolling Stone cover. I imagine McSame will sue for equal affection.

UPDATE
AL took questions from the audience after his SURPRISE speech:
- Will he serve in Barack's administration if he thought he could accomplish Al's goals. He said, he will do more good serving outside of the administration.
- OrangeClouds asked if being vegetarian is more carbon efficient than being a carnivore. He said yes and that he's guilty in being part of the problem, as he's a meat eater.
- He was asked about Mountain top blasting/mining and liquid coal. He said we have to walk the path to renewable fuels.
(Hat Tip to our long time friend, SCARCE).
- The audience threw him some nice fat hanging fastballs:
A. Windmills - Sí
B. Reduces/Recycle materials used in Hi Tech - Sí
C. He goes OFF on batteries technology.
No doubt - he has a passion and liberal curiosity for research and technology.
D. He jokes about Nuclear Power and Oakridge, Tenn, adding a skeptical eye.
E. Quotes Martin Luther King, Jr in addressing Co2 reduction.
- Neato. Al admits to being a fan of Ceiling Cat, saying, "if we haz more representatives like Nancy, Congress would be better."
- The ever gracious Al askes Nancy to accompany him as he wades into the audience to press the flesh. Feed off the energy, an audibility ebullient Nancy agrees.
► PPPS: World Series preview: Cubs vs Yankees White Sox, with Barack throwing out the first pitch at Comiskey Park, along side Bill Veeck's children, as McWhiner complains to the MSM.
► Ceiling Cat says, Grrrrrrrrraaaaawl!
► PS GO Yankees (Wasn't the All-Star Game just da best)!!!
