We had to take a detour on the way home from Balsam Mountain NC last month after a rock slide closed I-40. So we the scenic route - US 129 -- aka "The Tail of the Drgaon" through Deal's Gap, a road much favored by motorcyclists (who were probably less than thrilled to be following our Subaru SUV) .

The Real Reason Lou Dobbs Quit CNN

In case you haven't seen it yet, the news has finally broken:

WANTAGE, NJ—Acting on anonymous tips from within the Hispanic-American community, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Wednesday deported Luis Miguel Salvador Aguila Dominguez, who for the last 48 years had been living illegally in the United States under the name Lou Dobbs.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, federal agents stormed the undocumented immigrant's home in an evening raid just hours after the 64-year-old newscaster suddenly announced that he was resigning from CNN, and immediately placed him on an Aeromexico flight departing from Newark Liberty Airport.

Where is All This Technology Taking Us? "The President's Analyst" Knew - in 1967!

Whenever I go to a "tech conference" (as I did in Nashville yesterday), and I see all the participants on their computers or poking away at their iPhones, I recall this scene in the 1967 movie The President's Analyst with Godfrey Cambridge (as the president) and James Coburn (as the analyst):

You don't see it in this particular clip (there are more scenes from the film on YouTube), but the unspoken irony here is: in this 1967 movie, the President was... wait for it.... black!

And now we actually have a black President -- and all the technology that this prescient scene predicts has more or less come to fruition.

So how much longer will it be before we all start getting "Cerebrum Communicator" injections? 

Oh, Jeez... maybe THAT's what's in the H1N1 vaccine!
