Yes, I am able to read. I guess I just prefer to look at things in a more positive light. Journeys are started with a single step, and I think that it is something we should be glad about.

Yes, it's true. It just gets a bit discouraging fighting this fight for years while having the president chuck a few pennies in the wishing well. I am confident things will change, however, and sooner rather than later (because there will be no later)

Try to ignore the headline

Um-'shady character'

I wonder if President GW is aware of the ZOO TV phone calls or remembers them. At least he's not holding a grudge in part of the clowning of his dad done by U2.

. After that they show about a 15 minute clip of Bono outside the whitehouse answering reporter's questions. He sounds good. He doesn't mumble or stumble too much. Very impressive.

Ummmmmmm emmmmmmmm ummmmmmmmmm
*rubs chin*
mmmmmmmm
*rubs nose*
aem
*wipes nose and looks around confused*
ummmmmmmm pop star ummmm

Yeah Bono's speech was great, he ummm's were on overtime though

Of course, having just listend to Bush speak he was probably overcompensating!

Joking, of course, I love em both

I don't know how many others are from around DC, but on Z104 this morning they mentioned Bono's visit and they said that GW wanted Bono's shades. They had a little clip of Bono talking about it

Next time he comes to town, someone needs to let me know in advance!

Ok, is anyone else finding this picture incredibly odd?? I love what Bono is doing, but I just can't get past how freaking weird it is seeing our little Bono hanging with world leaders. I know it's just me, and I'll get over it.

Come on Martha! This is F*&##@% SWEET! Further proof of just how more willing GW is to face issues outside the country than his father. I know this is not FYM or PLEBA

, but I really love both of those guys in the photo. In a brotherly way, of course.

And I never heard that statement before from ANYONE when Bono was having his picture taken with Bill Clinton!

This speech changed the way I see the world (which used to be no further than down the street):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/news_comment/dimbleby/print_clinton.shtml

My attitude went from "Bono's really cool to try and better the world with whatever he's doing... " to "Why don't they get it, Bono - you tell them! What can I do to help?"

Oh, and meeting people from around the world on the U2 message boards broadened my horizons too
