Obama Sinking in Virginia
Image via WikipediaHamptonRoad.com Virginia voters' attitudes about Barack Obama's job performance have soured, according to results of a Democratic polling outfit's recent survey which suggests more people now rate the president negatively.
Public Policy Polling found that 48 percent of Virginia voters disapprove of Obama's job performance, while 47 percent approve of it.
While that's a slim difference, it represents a significant decline from the 51-44 percent positive margin PPP reported Obama had after Osama bin Laden's death.

Both candidates have identical support (87 percent) from their political respective bases, but Kaine leads Allen among independents by 11 points.

What is the Lesson from 'The Alchemist?'
Image by Cayusa via FlickrTo me, it is that you may have everything you are looking for right where you are, but you might not know it.Therefore, you often have to get out into the wider world to realize that the treasures you are searching for are in the place you started. However, without the journey you may never realize this. You may spend your entire life jealous of people living in other parts of the world who you believe are better off than you.
So, to truly realize what you have, you have to leave where you are for a little while to have some adventures. Then one day, you will realize that it is time to go back home, because everything you need is already there.

Sonsonate: Most Violent Region in a Very Violent Country
Image via WikipediaFrom In Sight:
In recent years, Central American has become an increasingly important route for trafficking drugs from South America up to Mexico and the United States. El Salvador is a key location on this journey north, and is home to a vital cocaine pathway, known as El Caminito, which stretches from the Honduran border to the Guatemalan border.
Located on El Salvador’s Pacific coast, close to Guatemala, the province of Sonsonate is strategic territory for drug traffickers. Its main port, Acajutla, is a crucial hub for drug shipments, and its proximity to Guatemala ensures quick ground transfer to Mexico.
Obamaist Front Group Attacks Glenn Beck for Talking About Mexican Border Violence
Southwest Killing Fields, via WikipediaMedia Matters had this to say:
On his radio show, Glenn Beck fearmongered about violence along the U.S.-Mexico border to suggest that the government will confiscate Americans' guns. In fact, the Justice Department has simply issued regulations putting in place a reporting requirement for multiple purchases of certain kinds of rifles, and, furthermore, violence in areas on the U.S. side of the border is dropping.
