    It's all a matter of point of view
    First there was the roasting not only of Mr. Bush but also of the press corp at the white house correspondents dinner by Mr. Colbert.

    Here are a few snapshots of Mr. Bush, who was said to be seething with anger afterwards. They were taken during the roasting by ABC cameras.

    The journalists present had a few nervous laughter but were mostly stone-cold silent (see the video above)

    Then there was complete radio silence by the mainstream media, TV, radio, newspaper for two full days. They tried to edit out the event, if you will.

    Meanwhile, the blogosphere went berzerk... The right about the crime of lèse majesté committed by the court jester. The left about the beauty of the fool who spoke truth to power and dared to point out than not only the emperor is naked but the sycophants are too. Both about how each side was so wrong. The left again about the media silence.

    The blogosphere blaze was then picked up by the mass media... the right claimed that they ignored the event simply because Mr. Colbert was not funny. As if, although I understand most of the audience at the dinner was not particularly entertained..., as in cutting to close to the bone, I guess. But some were, I saw Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Plame-Wilson laughing out loud... The left..., there is not left in mass media, sorry.

    The Five Love Languages

    Physical Touch and Quality Time.

    Complete set of results

    Quality Time:  10
    Acts of Service:  5
    Words of Affirmation:  5
    Receiving Gifts:  0


    Information

    Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

    Your Brain's Pattern

    You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy.
    You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts.
    People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused.
    But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination.
