Obama related to Pitt, Hillary Clinton to Jolie

i know im sucha nerd for always reading and posting articles.

BOSTON --

This could make for one odd family reunion: Barack Obama is a distant cousin of actor Brad Pitt, and Hillary Rodham Clinton is related to Pitt's girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.

Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found some remarkable family connections for the three presidential candidates -- Democratic rivals Obama and Clinton, and Republican John McCain.

Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins. McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush.

Genealogist Christopher Child said that while the candidates often focus on pointing out differences between them, their ancestry shows they are more alike than they think.

''It shows that lots of different people can be related, people you wouldn't necessarily expect,'' Child said.

Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.

''His kinships are across the political spectrum,'' Child said.

Child has spent the last three years tracing the candidates' genealogy, along with senior research scholar Gary Boyd Roberts, author of the 1989 book, ``Ancestors of American Presidents.''

Clinton's distant cousins include beatnik author Jack Kerouac and Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles of England.

McCain's ancestry was more difficult to trace because records on his relatives were not as complete as records for the families of Obama and Clinton, Child said.

Obama and President Bush are 10th cousins, once removed, linked by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662.

Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769. Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, declined to comment on the senator's ancestry.

Clinton and Jolie are ninth cousins, twice removed, both related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society, founded in 1845, is the oldest and largest nonprofit genealogical organization in the country.

Honduran president defends melons by eating one

so idk if u've heard about this. but it sucks. according to other news reports, all foods need to pass strict inspections before leaving honduras. now what happens when they get here, is a different story. and odd that of all the places they send the melons to, only the US has had an outbreak. pls dont boycott honduran products!!

(CNN) -- He's no Julia Child, but Honduran President Manuel Zelaya showed Tuesday he can attack a cantaloupe and U.S. government claims in a single motion.

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya wants to assure the world there is no problem with his country's fruit.

"It's not in our fruit," he said about last week's report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that some Honduran cantaloupes may be contaminated with salmonella. "It's not true what they are saying. Logically, we believe it is an error."

Then, the 55-year-old father of four asked his viewers to indulge him as he engaged in a show-and-tell demonstration. "Permit me a second," he said as he stretched his left arm across the tabletop and outside the view of the camera, then pulled into view a box of fruit.

"Here I have the box of melons that we are exporting to the United States; here are the protective bags," he said.

Zelaya lifted a cantaloupe from the box, placed it in front of him, then grabbed a knife and a fork.

"Permit me to make a demonstration," he said, then cut open the fruit, sliced off a chunk, put it in his mouth and chewed vigorously.

"I eat this fruit without any fear," he said with his mouth full. "It's a delicious fruit. Nothing happens to me!"

Though the symptoms of salmonella infection -- nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps -- typically do not occur for several hours after eating tainted food, the point was made.

The demonstration came three days after the FDA said it had linked 50 cases of salmonella in 16 states and nine in Canada to melons from Agropecuaria Montelibana, a grower and packer in San Lorenzo, Honduras.

Though there have been no reports of fatalities, 14 people have been hospitalized in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin, the FDA said.

While the company has continued exporting to Europe and Central America and has received no reports of illness, the daily export of 45 containers of melon to the United States has halted, a company official said Monday.

As a result, some 1,500 workers have been laid off, most of them single mothers, and company losses have exceeded $3 million, company officials said.

The FDA alert advised U.S. grocers, food-service operators and produce processors to remove from their stock any cantaloupes from the company.

The agency also recommended consumers throw away any cantaloupes determined to be from the company.

Apparently i am a "happy, uncomplicated lady"

this is what u will find on youtube when search for Honduras. i think it's hysterical.

gotta love the streakers

on easter, honduras played the US in the U23 CONCACAF. and yes honduras won!!!! woohoo!! well i guess i wasnt watching at this very moment and missed the streaker. lol luckily i tivo'ed it.



hahaha she's awesome. but if i had that body, i would be running out there butt nekkid.

i guess i really am a latina...

WHY LATINOS CAN'T BE TERRORISTS......................

1. 8:45am is too early for us to be up.
2. We are always late, we would have missed all 4 flights.
3. Pretty people on the plane distract us.
4. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.
5. With food and drinks on the plane, we would forget why we're there.
6. We talk with our hands, therefore we would have to put our weapons down.
7. We would ALL want to fly the plane.
8. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.
9. We can't keep a secret, we would have told everyone a week before doing it.
AND MY FAVORITE.....
10. We would have put our country's flag on the windshield.

ARE YOU A LATINO? HOW CAN YOU TELL FOR SURE?
1) If you have ever been hit by a "Chancla"
2) If you grew up scared by something called "El Cucuy"
3) If others tell you to stop screaming when you are really just talking.
4) If you light a candle to Virgin Mary on the night before your big test.
5) If you use your chin to point something out.
6) If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys".
7) If your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you for dinner, even if it's a one bedroom apartment.
8) If you can dance merengue, cumbia, or salsa without music.
9) If you use "manteca" instead of olive oil and can't figure out why your nalgas are getting bigger.
10) If you are in a five passenger car with seven people in it and a person is shouting "subanse, todavia caben mas!"
11) If whenever you feel under the weather, you compulsively dab on some "Vick's vapor rub" all over your pecho and inside your nostrils.
12) Your mom packs your "lonche" every day even though you've just turned thirty-two.
13) If you call the North Americans "gringos", including Canadians, and call all Asian people "chinos" or "chinitos" and you call the corner store "the chinito's store".

LOL thanks prima for the forward. i have been guilty of pretty much ALL mentioned above.

thanks auds!!

my hubby would be so proud of me for posting this lol enjoy!!

he doesn't seem to understand

i'm watching the news this afternoon and they are covering the story about ppl protesting the iraq war. so there they, a crowd of maybe 10 ppl holding up antiwar signs. and then they interview this guy that is soooo pissed of. he's yelling about at them saying that we need to be supporting our troops, and that he was over there fighting, trying to save lives. but my issue with him was that they were NOT there protesting the soliders nor their efforts, but the whole war itself. i hate this war, esp the ppl that put us in it. but what i hate even more is the way these soldiers are treated upon their return. ok let me not get into that, it REALLY pisses me off. so going back to the little man, he's out there yelling at them for the wrong reason. i guess it just kinda irked me. we love out troops, but hate this war.

update on the church fire

Teens arrested in church fire to stay in jail

Damages from an afternoon arson fire set inside St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church last week likely will exceed $1 million, a church spokeswoman said, but parishioners of the Kendall church intend to celebrate Holy Week at the site and then rebuild.

Miami-Dade Police have arrested two teenage boys over the blaze, and, at hearings Tuesday and Wednesday, both youths were ordered to be detained at the Miami juvenile lockup for 21 days. The boys, who are not being named because they are juveniles, both have been charged with first-degree arson, police say.

Susan Spruce, a lawyer with the Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office, declined to discuss the case on behalf of one of the boys, whom the office represents.

Both boys, aged 14 and 15, live near the church, but parishioners of St. Catherine say they do not worship there, said Mary Ross Agosta, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Miami.

''We just got off the phone with the building inspectors; it's badly damaged,'' Ross Agosta said.

''There's a lot of sorrow here, certainly within the church and the community,'' she said. ``But we can't lose sight that these are kids who are 14 and 15 years old.''

Ross Agosta said no services will be canceled, and church leaders likely will celebrate Easter Sunday either in areas inside the church not affected by the blaze, or outside in a plaza.

''We will be rejoicing on Easter Sunday at St. Catherine of Siena,'' she said.

The Miami-Dade Police Department's arson unit is investigating the fire. Police say a surveillance video inside the church showed two youths enter. As they left, ''a fire ignited inside,'' according to a prepared statement.

Police investigators have not said yet why the boys would have set the blaze, said Roy Rutland, a police spokesman.

Friday's fire started in a small chapel at the church at Southwest 107th Avenue and 93rd Street.

A church parishioner driving past the building saw smoke and called 911. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze before it spread to the whole building.

No one was injured in the fire, which came just before Holy Week, the most important week on the Catholic calender, which runs from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.

''That something so profound would occur just before Palm Sunday leads into Holy Week brings into focus what this week is all about,'' Ross Agosta said. ``The parishioners of St. Catherine will move forward; they know they will be able to rebuild the building.

''It brings to mind what Christ taught us about forgiveness,'' she added. ``It reminds us that you don't need a building to be a parish.''

Interesting how they said that their names are not being released but their names and pics were plastered all over the news today. two little thug wanna-be's. if that were my son, i'd be him silly, he'd be begging for God himself to come down and save him. One of the kids grandma goes to that church, not anymore though i'm sure. i think they should be put to work on the restoration of the church, that'll be a good lesson for them. but then again, idk if the archdiocese would trust them, i wouldn't.

so i'm watching the price is right the other day..

and i wonder, what if i dont want that year's supply of depends? do they give u the cash equivalent to it?

check out my shamrocks!!

ok i really really love this shirt. it's def a chincha shirt. and yes it is me. i know i have great boobs.

HAPPY ST PATS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i'm no where near being irish. but yet some how on this day i find my self drinking like one. i really think st pats should be a national holiday lol i'll post pics of us partying later today or tomorrow. or whenever i decide to finally upload my pics. what are u doing today to celebrate your irish side?

Leonard Pitts Jr. / Syndicated columnist

So you think you're qualified to occupy the Oval Office

Hillary Clinton is right. Barack Obama does not have the experience to be president of the United States.

But then, neither does she. Neither does John McCain.

We Americans have spent a lot of time in recent weeks debating experience, which candidate will be ready "from day one" to answer the 3 a.m. phone call in the White House (what, the White House doesn't have a switchboard?). When the campaign began a hundred years ago, that seemed a sensible debate to have, especially given Obama's short term in the Senate and upon the national stage.

I've since reconsidered. Sensible as it may superficially seem, the whole "experience" debate strikes me now as a phony issue in a campaign full of same.

In the first place: As Obama has noted, if he's too inexperienced to be president, why do Clinton and her surrogates keep telling us what a great running mate he would make?

In the second place: As Chris Rock has observed, being married to the president does not qualify one to be president, any more than being married to a comedian qualifies one to tell jokes.

In the third place: Obama would hardly be the first president to come to office with little experience in national politics. Abraham Lincoln, like Obama, had eight years in Illinois state government and a few more in Congress. Dwight Eisenhower and Ulysses S. Grant had never held elective office. Then there's Chester Arthur. He was a lawyer before running for vice president under James Garfield. When Garfield was killed, six months into his term, the lawyer found himself president.

This debate, I think, proceeds from a false premise: that there's a body of learning which, once absorbed, qualifies a person for the presidency.

Consider James Buchanan, who brought to office a college degree and 31 years of experience as a senator, representative, diplomat and state lawmaker. He sat idle while the Union disintegrated around him. His successor, the aforementioned Lincoln, was a rough-hewed, self-taught frontier lawyer with a fraction of Buchanan's experience. He acted boldly to save the Union and, in the process, became arguably the greatest president of all.

The moral of the story is not that experience is irrelevant. No, the moral is that experience is not the only barometer, that the presidency also requires reasoning, knowledge, maturity, leadership and some sense of how the world works. There is no president school, no certificate that says you're ready. The presidency is an entity unto itself, its responsibilities and burdens unique beyond anyone's ability to prepare for them. Small wonder.

The president of the United States governs 303 million people, presides over a $14 trillion annual economy — the largest on Earth — commands the world's most formidable military, sets the agenda for the planet's only superpower, stands answerable to history on a daily basis. Do you really think Bill Clinton's 12 years as governor of Arkansas prepared him for that? How about George W. Bush's six years as governor of Texas?

Richard Nixon, of all people, once said character was the most important qualification for being president. Lyndon Johnson said, "The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands." And John Kennedy once groused to Barry Goldwater, "So, you want this (expletive) job."

Which brings to mind an iconic picture of Kennedy, standing at a White House window. He is alone, head bowed, his thoughts unknowable, his isolation and burden palpable. It drives home the absurdity of debating what prepares one for the presidency. To me, it's obvious:

Nothing does.

i'm not a church person but....

this was sad to hear. i did my communion, confirmation, and wedding at this church. i was pretty bummed to hear the news. my instincts are actually telling me to find out how i can help out. no, i dont go to church. don't believe in it or the bible, but yet i feel a connection to this one. i think it's bc it is in THIS church that i started to question it's very existence. 0dd huh?

A fire damaged the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church at Southwest 107th Avenue and 93rd Street Friday afternoon.

While flames and smoke left parts of the church unusable, firefighters were able to contain the blaze before it consumed the entire building, according to Miami-Dade Fire rescue. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters determined the fire started in a small chapel, but the cause is still under investigation.

A church parishioner driving past the church noticed smoke coming from the building and called 911.

Cops: Shooting victim's buddies took his pants

BY TIM CHAPMAN

tchapman@MiamiHerald.com

Miami police are looking for the trousers of a man who was shot Wednesday morning in Overtown.

They're also looking for the man who shot him.

Officers at the scene said that three men were standing at the corner of Northwest Second Avenue and 12th Street about 8 a.m. when a gunman with dreadlocks walked up and shot one of the men in the stomach and the leg and walked off.

The wounded man's friends immediately took his pants off and fled the scene, police were told by witnesses.

Fire-rescue workers found the man bleeding in the street in his underwear and a shirt.

Police don't know why the victim's friends might have made off with his pants before rescuers could arrive. Anyone with information should call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS or Miami homicide at 305-579-6530.

Mom who cared for comatose daughter for 38 years dies

Posted on Fri, Mar. 07, 2008

BY TERE FIGUERAS NEGRETE

tfigueras@MiamiHerald.com

She never broke her promise.

Kaye O'Bara, who pledged to never leave her then-teenage daughter's side as the girl slipped into a diabetic coma 38 years ago, died at her Miami Gardens home this week -- in the same room she shared with her child, Edwarda, since 1970.

O'Bara, 80, died in her sleep. She had suffered for years from a cardiac illness that dated back to a heart attack in the early 1980s, said her niece Pamela Burdgick.

''We thought she'd outlive us all. The woman was so strong,'' Burdgick said.

The story of O'Bara's steadfast devotion to her child, and her belief that Edwarda's life was not a burden but a blessing, inspired countless visitors who passed by the small one-story O'Bara home over the decades. Well-wishers traveled from as far away as Japan to take part in the annual celebration of Edwarda's birthday -- as did fellow Catholics and others who believed Kaye O'Bara had seen apparitions of the Virgin Mary and sought to pray at the bedside of her sleeping daughter.

Her story also inspired bestselling author Dr. Wayne Dyer to write the book ``A Promise Is A Promise: An Almost Unbelievable Story of a Mother's UnconditionalLove and What It Can Teach Us.''

The title of the book came from the last exchange O'Bara had with her daughter. Edwarda, a diabetic, had come down with the flu shortly before Christmas 1969. Her condition worsened over the next few days, and her parents -- Kaye and husband Joe -- took her to the hospital.

As the frightened girl began to lose consciousness, she turned to her mother and asked: ``Promise you won't leave me, will you, Mommy?''

Kaye O'Bara promised her she wouldn't, and those final words to her daughter became the blueprint for her life: turning her every two hours so her daughter wouldn't develop bedsores, feeding her a mixture of baby food and powdered milk through a tube, administering insulin, playing music, reading books to Edwarda, who was once an avid reader, and keeping a watchful vigil by her bedside in the hope that one day her daughter would come to.

''To me, she's almost awake. Sometimes I think I hear her speak,'' O'Bara once told The Miami Herald. 'She says, `Mom, I'm fine.' Maybe she's not saying anything at all, but I think she's speaking to me.''

Edwarda's younger sister, Colleen O'Bara, says the family will continue to care for her in the family home.

''We never thought of it as a hardship. It just didn't seem out of the ordinary,'' said Colleen, who said she shared in her parents' hope that her sister would ``one day just wake up.''

Colleen O'Bara said she plans on moving from her Pembroke Pines home to help care for Edwarda, a decision she says her mother had hoped to spare her from having to make.

''I always told her I would [care for Edwarda],'' said Colleen, whose son, Richard, is also helping to care for his aunt. ``But it's a hard life, and she didn't want that.''

Government aid would have paid to have Edwarda institutionalized, but there was no question in Joe and Kaye O'Bara's minds that their girl would live out her days at home. The couple shared the duties of caring for her, quickly falling into debt.

Joe O'Bara, then a physical education teacher at Scott Lake Elementary in Northwest Miami-Dade, took up a second job painting houses on weekends and fixing boat motors in his garage. In 1972, he suffered a heart attack and died four years later, leaving his wife the primary caretaker.

Kaye O'Bara -- born Kathryn McCloskey in Johnstown, Pa. -- was herself a schoolteacher who taught at St. Rose of Lima and Notre Dame Academy in North Miami-Dade. She retired the year after Edwarda became comatose, and did her best to survive on Social Security and her husband's pension -- and the generosity of others.

Over the years, the modest O'Bara home attracted visitors from across the world. And each March, without fail, Kaye O'Bara would celebrate her daughter's birthday with a party, often attracting hundreds.

''Everyone who visited the O'Bara home could not help but come away with a deeper faith and understanding of what it is to truly love,'' said Joan Crown, director of the Respect Life ministry for the Catholic Archdiocese of Miami. ``Kaye was a shining example of what it means to be a mother, a teacher and a faithful Catholic. She embraced the teachings of her church and never gave in to the calls of many to end the life of her daughter through euthanasia.''

The story of the O'Bara family generated dozens of headlines and news stories, and was, in recent years juxtaposed with that of the family battle over the fate of another Florida woman, Terri Schiavo.

O'Bara often said she never once considered letting her daughter go, but refrained from judging others who differed.

''What we've tried to do here is create a place of love,'' O'Bara told the Herald in 2005. 'That means more than saying `yes' to the feeding tube or 'no' to the feeding tube.''

She was careful to draw distinction between her daughter and cases such as Schiavo's, saying had Edwarda been a married adult when she slipped into a coma, ``I would have honored her husband's right to make decisions, as next of kin -- just as my parents would have done with my husband, had the same thing happened to me.''

Several years earlier, in a letter to the Herald's editorial page, O'Bara gently expressed her belief that euthanasia was a personal decision, but called Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the physician who advocated doctor-assisted suicide, ``misguided.''

''I know I pray for him every night,'' she wrote.

In 2000, O'Bara received a papal medal from the Roman Catholic Church, an honor bestowed upon her by Miami Archbishop John C. Favalora.

A devout Catholic, O'Bara said she had felt the presence of the Virgin Mary in Edwarda's bedroom, and believed her daughter was not simply sleeping but ''a spiritual being having a human experience.'' It was a belief echoed by others, including the self-help author Dwyer, who penned his book after getting to know the O'Baras.

At least one couple arranged to be married by Edwarda's bedside, a worldwide prayer group devoted to Edwarda now numbers in the thousands. After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, wary travelers would stop by the O'Bara home, asking to pray there before boarding a plane.

Kaye O'Bara often posted updates about her family on a website maintained by a longtime family friend.

Her last entry, dated February 2008, read:

``I know a lot of you are waiting for your quarterly letter but I have been ill and really can't afford the stamps.''

Her family and friends said that in recent days she had appeared in relatively fine health, and say that despite her age and illness they were shocked by O'Bara's death.

When the nurse who helps out with Edwarda knocked on the O'Bara door Friday morning, she was alarmed when her knock went unanswered. She summoned the help of neighbors, including Elsie Ferguson, who has lived next door for more than 30 years.

They found O'Bara in the room she shared with Edwarda, snatching brief naps on a small cot in between feedings and other duties.

Ferguson's son, Chaka Ferguson -- who wasn't even born when Edwarda took ill -- grew up with a deep admiration for his next-door-neighbor.

''I always wondered why she kept it up, and one time I asked her that question,'' said Ferguson, a sports copy editor at The Miami Herald.

''She told me she saw this as a sacrifice that was worth it, and that she would always be there for Edwarda,'' he said. ``She kept her promise to the end.''

A funeral Mass for Kaye O'Bara will take place at 10 a.m., Thursday, at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Miami Shores. A Wednesday night viewing will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. at Cofer Kolski Combs Funeral Home, 10931 NE Sixth St.

Instead of flowers the family is asking for donations to defray the cost of Edwarda's care. For information on donating, visit www.edwardaobara.com. Profits from Dyer's book also go to her care.

I cried when i read this. i wonder to myself, could i REALLY do this? do i have that kind of strength to see my daughter in that state day in and day out? idk. but i tell u what, i truly admire mrs. o'bara. she's what angels are made of.
