Promising...

“You know that our progress has to be measured in the results that we achieve over many months and years, not the minute-by-minute talk in the media,” Obama said. “And you know that progress comes from hard choices and hard work, not miracles. I’m not a miracle worker.”
But he insisted, “If you take a look at what I said I was going to do when I was running for office and you now look at what we’re in the middle of doing, we’re doing what we said we’d do.”

Since January, the president has:

  • Relaxed restrictions on embryonic stem cell research.
  • Ordered the closing of the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
  • Ordered most U.S. troops out of Iraq and more U.S. troops into Afghanistan.
  • Pushed through his economic stimulus plan, a mortgage relief plan, a second Wall Street bailout and his plan to redeem so-called toxic assets.
  • Approved massive lending to struggling Detroit automakers.

Up next, his administration has said, are climate change, education reform and universal health care.

What a shame...

"Atlanta, Dallas, Indianapolis, Houston and St. Louis have been ranked the most wasteful cities in America, according to a recent survey. If you live in San Francisco, you have yet another reason to pat yourself on the back: San Franciscans are the least-wasteful people in the country."
America's five most wasteful cities

And the five greenest cities: San Francisco, New York, Portland, Seattle, Los Ángeles...
... I wonder if it's just a coincidence that all these cities are in democratic states...

RECYCLE, NOW.

... Y los psiquiatras intentan curar las enfermedades mentales?

"Penis envy and the castration complex play an essential part in the girl's development. But they are very much reinforced by frustration of her positive Oedipus desires. Though the little girl at one stage assumes that her mother possesses a penis as a male attribute, this concept does not play nearly as important a part in her development as Freud suggests. The unconscious theory that her mother contains the admired and desired penis of the father underlies, in my experience, many of the phenomena which Freud described as the relation of the girl to the phallic mother.
The girl's oral desires for her father's penis mingle with her first genital desires to receive that penis. These genital desires imply the wish to receive children from her father, which is also borne out by the equation 'penis=child'. The feminine desire to internalize the penis and to receive a child from her father invariably precedes the wish to possess a penis of her own."
(Klein, M. 1945).
