Where were you when you learned that RFK was shot?" In Minnesota, it happened around 2:00AM, so most of us found out the next day.

Me? I was six years old at the time. It was one my last days of Kindergarten and my siblings and I were eating cereal at the coffee table. Something was on television...I wasn't paying attention. Suddenly, my mother yelled to my father, "Oh my God! Steve! They shot Kennedy!" my dad ran out of the bathroom with shaving cream still on his face.

I was little, but I knew right then that something terrible had happened...

In ancient Greece , men used to gather in a great stadium to pay homage to the human spirit and, of course, the human physique. Throngs of strong young Grecians valiantly sought the recognition of the others and a cherished olive branch. Now, as the nations of the world prepare for the Beijing Olympics this summer, China is also jockeying for a place on the top of the world’s podium, but the country stands to gain or lose much more than a piece of greenery.

"Sunday Morning Coming Down" written by Kris Kristofferson and popularized by Johnny Cash has some of the best lyrics out there. Check out Kristofferson's mad lyric writing skills: "Well, I woke up Sunday Morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt. Then I washed my face and combed my hair and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day."

I promised myself I was not going to do this. But in today’s world of exuberant political campaigns and the big showdown in Iowa just about a week away, it is more evident than ever that many promises just do not mean anything anymore. That being said, it is now completely acceptable that I disregard my own promise and share some political commentary with you now.
