Update (2/4/09 11:03 AM): In keeping with the theme of the blog, I want to say something extra about this piece. This isn’t exactly “breaking news”. I saw this on SOHH.com this morning. This is a hip-hop site more known for hip-hop music coverage than government and politics. They cover Obama as if he’s a celebrity, not a politician. This item was new… back in 2007 (NY Post). It can also be seen in two Chicago publications.
Next time, when I want to comment on current news items, I will NOT get it from a source that don’t usually break this type of stuff on a daily basis. I’m sorry that I made a big deal out of this. 
Now to present to you… a weird theory. Is it possible that all that all the Presidents are apart of a bloodline so no matter who gets elected, they are all from the same bloodline?
Okay, maybe it’s a little bit far fetch, but after Barack Obama and Dick Cheney have been discovered as “distant cousins”, CBS News decided to dig futher. Turns out that President Barack Obama and Former President George Bush, as well as a lot of Abraham Lincoln, John Kerry, Madonna, Princess Di, and Vlad the Impaler (who inspired the legend of Dracula) are all linked.
The Credit Crisis Visualized
I may know a little bit about the current financial environment, however, I don’t know how the credit crisis. So, most of the talks about lending to banks and why this is important went over my head. So, I found this video to be very informative. I hope it helps you out as much as it helped me.

The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis.
Crisisofcredit.com
The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
