Doing what she does best.
So heartfelt, so honest.
One of the strongest memories I have of trying to resolve the horrible event was Bette’s honest and emotional performance here.
Make sure you get to the 4:30 mark.
I’m not a fan of the “Never Forget” campaign. No one will ever forget – of that, I am certain.
But we are here and it’s important everyday that we remember that; and use the time we’re given.
Forward, kids. No fear.

First let me say I’m not the biggest American Idol fan in the world. Back in the day, I watched a bit, but eventually just about every TV show loses my interest.
But I clearly remember being surprised by 16 year old Diana Degarmo (who almost beat out Fantasia for the title) with this performance of “Don’t Cry Out Loud.” It was her best performance of the 3rd season, and had her final performance equaled this one, she may have won.
Since American Idol, she’s gone on to star on Broadway in “Hairspray” and “Hair” as well as the national touring companies of the Broadway musicals “9 To 5” and “Brooklyn.”
Just think about being 16 years old and knocking this out on TV for a huge national audience. I’m still impressed.

Bryant Park’s normally bustling lawn was transformed into a solemn memorial Friday ahead of the 10th Anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The park is on 40th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues.
Midtown office workers looking for a place to soak up the sun instead found the lawn lined with 2,753 empty chairs facing south toward the fallen towers — one to honor each person who died in the attacks.
The memorial will remain on display through September 11.
I’m a dog guy, but the voice over on this is pretty funny…
Opponents of President Obama are very vocal in saying the Recovery Act of 2009 did not succeed or create ANY jobs. After last night’s speech by the President regarding his new American Jobs Act, that talk about the 2009 stimulus ratched up again.
The evidence actually shows the stimulus (and other stimulative measures, including those of the Fed) worked, but ended too soon, before the private sector was ready to walk on its own.
Take a look at the graph above.
The pattern in job growth reversed course soon after passage of the Recovery Act, and broke zero — net job growth — in March of 2010.
But that’s only half of what this simple graph shows. Another piece of information is even more important. As the stimulus fades, the positive trends begin to falter: both GDP and job growth slow significantly, and unemployment stagnates at a highly elevated level.
The message of this simple graph is itself very simple: the stimulus worked. It prevented recession from becoming depression.
Is this hard, kids?

Just some research I’m doing for, ummm, an article I’m thinking of writing…
(yeah, that’s it…)
