New Years Eve in Vientiane
We arrived in Vientiane sleepy and got a jumbo like a big tuk tuk acting as a local bus in cities to the central square of Vientiane at about 6am or so....and it was asleep We soon got the feeling Vientiane was going to be very relaxing A wander around hotels and we finally found one which had rooms and was suitably nice treating ourselves to a far more expensive room than we are used to
Welcome to Cambodia…
After the painful wait at Kuala Lumpa for 10 hours overnight I arrived in Cambodia. It was like stepping into a butterfly house because it was so hot and humid. It really is a beautiful country and because it hasnrsquot been long since the rainy season everything is really green. Nick the coordinator met me at the airport and we took a tuktuk back to the house. The traffic is horrendous appar

Journey to the South West V 2010
The next afternoon after waking up with both a hangover and slight altitude sickness we took a taxi to the legendary Napa Hai lake. There are only two ways of getting to NapaHai one is by horse and takes three hours the other is by cab and takes 30 minutes. To be honest with the cold the altitude sickness and the slight hangover a horse ride was not the best idea so we settled for the overp

VIP travel accross Southern Thailand
Set our alarms so Ellie could be out by 9am to collect her bag from her friend Tim. He owns a fabulous resort in Ko Samui and we'd thought it would be safer getting it delivered there rather than our Guesthouse but over the last few days we've got to know the family here at Beach Bungalows and they're such nice people. They're so kind to their pets they even own the dog that layed an egg and al

There’s no worry there’s no stress
Om Namah Shivaye We are at Amritapuri ashram home of Mother Amma said to be a 'living Saint.' The internet is carefully rationed here so I don't know if I'll be able to find the time to type up our Rishikesh blog. I won't publish it until it's finished. We arrived here just in time to receive darshan since Amma is leaving in a couple of days for a south Indian tour. Let me just say that the e
Scott Brown , Republican for US Senate from Massachusetts closing in on the polls
Picks up the Endorsment of Baseball Legend Curt Schilling
From Stephen Maloney:
A current Rasmussen Poll has Martha Coakley (D) leading Scott Brown (R) by 9% (50-41, with 7% undecided in the Massachusetts race for the seat formerly held by Teddy Kennedy. The internals in the poll, of those most likely to actually vote, show the race even closer, in the low single digits.
Brown has steadily been cutting into Coakley's lead, and the massive support he's receiving from you and other onliners is making a difference. The special election will be held on January 19, two weeks from today.
The dynamics of this race are working in Brown's favor. His opponent, Martha Coakley, would make about as good a U.S. Senator as she would a partridge in a pear tree. It's an off-year, off-month election, and Scott Brown has all the momentum.
Meanwhile, Jumping in Pools blog is reporting the following:
The stars are aligning behind Scott Brown's campaign, as one of the most important components behind the Redsox masterful comeback in the 2004 ALCS, Curt Schilling, has just endorsed Scott Brown's campaign for the United States Senate. Though this should come as no surprise, considering Schilling has long been an advocate for Republican candidates, and even considered a run for the Senate seat we are discussing.
This marks the second bigtime celebrity endorsement for Brown. Scott Brown's daughter Ayla, (photo in the background above), is a former final round contender on American Idol. She was one of the first to endorse her Dad's campaign immediately after he announced his candidacy.

Major Political Developments Overnight!! Democrats Dodd, Dorgan, Ritter all to Drop Out
From Eric Dondero:
Three huge political developments overnight.
What many on the Republican side feared might happen, the Democrats are pulling a last minute switcheroo - Bob Torricelli style - in Connecticut. With polls showing incumbent Senator Chris Dodd consistently behind all three likely GOP challengers (Rob Simmons, Linda McMahon, Peter Schiff), word coming out of Hartford that Dodd intends to announce his retirement in a press conference later today.
In addition, described in various reports as a "complete shocker," longtime North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan announced that he would not seek reelection. The news comes as a serious blow to the Democrats hopes of keeping a 60 seat majority past 2010. Dorgan was facing the prospect of a serious challenge by Republican Gov. John Hoeven. Unlike the Dodd news, this one caught observers from both sides of the aisle completely off-guard.
Breaking late last night, word that Democrat Governor Bill Ritter of Colorado will not seek reelection. No details as of yet... However, this is likely now to be a GOP pick-up. What's more this could affect the entire Democrat ticket in this formerly trending blue state, now trending back red. This includes the Senate seat of incumbent Michael Bennet, already behind GOP challengers in the polls.
Meanwhile, two other political developments, positives for the GOP...
Both Politico and NewsMax are reporting that Rep. Peter King of Long Island, NY is now reconsidering his earlier decision not to challenge incumbent Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. King has recently been on the forefront on the issue of the Christmas Day Bomber, and overly National Security.
NRO, and various Florida media reported that State Rep. Kurt Kelly of Ocala has announced that he will challenge controversial Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson.
UPDATE!
"All but certain" Democrat nominee for Governor of Michigan John Cherry to drop out.
"Bob Roberts," starring Tim Robbins – an all-time Republican Cult Classic
From the Editor: Earlier today we posted an article on Tim Robbins, his split up with Actress Susan Sarandon, and the strange new news coming just now coming out that he had contributed $5,000 to very rightwing Republican candidates for Congress.
Here's a trailor from the from the 1992 film. It's become a virtual rightwing political junkie cult classic. Originally set as satire, it's message rings very true today circa 2010.
At 2:00 minutes in Sarandon makes a cameo appearance. My favorite scene in the movie comes at the very end of this clip, "there is actually a way you can vote for me twice."
Enjoy!
