The Surge from a Tidal Wave
After (8) years of President Bush (bashing)....and with no Republican leadership....people want change!Obama has hit a nerve with the American masses.....he can whip people into a frenzy without giving any realistic details how he plans to make "changes".
No one denies that John McCain is a great American, and he might even have better plans for the nation, but I don't think he has enough gas in the tank to beat a young charismatic Barack Obama.
You cannot ignore the enthusiastic crowds Obama is getting at his rallies is incredible! This tidal wave of supporters will probably make Obama our next President!

Art thief with no Monet
A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his vehicle ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, 'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.'
I had no Monet
to buy Degas

Mint Oreo Ice Cream
If you toss a penny 10,000 times, it will not be heads 5,000 times, but more like 4,950. The heads picture weighs more, so it ends up on the bottom.
The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.
The longest word in the English language, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis The only other word with the same amount of letters is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconioses because it's plural.
Hydroxydesoxycorticosterone and hydroxydeoxycorticosterones are the largest anagrams.
Los Angeles's full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula."
Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
Ben and Jerry's send the waste from making ice cream to local pig farmers to use as feed. Pigs love the stuff, except for one flavor: Mint Oreo.

Lou Holtz - Leadership
The Secret of Inspirational Leadership by Alexander Green
Dear Reader
When speaking at investment conferences, I try to emphasize the importance of "quality of management" when evaluating public companies. What would Microsoft be without Bill Gates? Or Berkshire Hathaway without Warren Buffett? It's hard to imagine.
On the flip side, 10 years ago WorldCom had the most impressive array of telecommunications assets on the planet. But with Bernie Ebbers at the helm, it didn't matter. Today he is serving 25 years at the Oakdale Federal Correctional Complex for orchestrating the biggest corporate fraud in U.S. history. (And I need hardly remind you what chieftains Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling did for Enron employees and shareholders.)
In the business world, physical assets are essential. Patents and trademarks are invaluable. Positive cash flow is wonderful. But, at the very heart of things, every organization is essentially a team of people. If they're not rowing in the same direction, trust me, you won't get far. I was reminded of this Saturday evening while attending a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society at the Royal Pacific Resort in Orlando. The keynote speaker was one of America's all-time great football coaches Lou Holtz. Holtz is not just a multiple winner of "Coach of the Year" honors. He is the only coach in NCAA history to lead six different programs to bowl games. And the only coach to have four different teams reach final top 20 rankings. Throughout his career, Holtz earned a reputation for both developing winning teams and quickly rebuilding broken ones. He has written five books on leadership.
Lou Holtz is a living example of inspirational leadership. I hadn't intended to take notes, but a minute and a half into his talk I was scouring the table for a cocktail napkin. "Leadership begins with recognizing that everybody needs FOUR things," said Holtz, "something to do, someone to love, something to hope for, and something to believe in. Strategic plans don't excite anybody. Dreams excite people. And every employee, every team member, wants to know the same thing: Do you really care about me? Every successful organization shows its people they genuinely matter."
