Election Relief!

The Presidential election is finally finished!!

They have been campaigning for more than 2 years, so it is a great relief to have it over. Now we have 2 years without discussions about the next presidential election; then it will start over again.

People were driving around the streets of NY honking their horns as the results were announced. It sounded like the Yankees had won the World Series of baseball, or Italy had won the World Cup of soccer!

Now Obama has a lot of work ahead of him!

What did people say about the election in your country?

US Elections

In less than two weeks, the US will select a new president.

Right now it looks like the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, has an advantage over the Republican John McCain. But the campaigning isn't over yet, and things could change.

James Blunt - You're Beautiful

Blunt said of this song, "It's kind of miserable. It was about seeing my ex-girlfriend on the Underground in London with her new man, who I didn't know existed. She and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment, but didn't do anything about it and haven't seen each other since."

ブラントさんはこの曲のことを「ちょっと惨めなんだ。この曲はロンドンの地下鉄で、元彼女が新しい彼氏と一緒にいるのを目撃するという歌。彼女と僕は目と目があって、その瞬間を一緒に生きたんだ。でもそれに対して何もしなかった。そしてそれ以来お互い会わなかったんだ」と語る。

U2 - One

"One" is widely considered to be one of the band's greatest songs. "One" has many debated meanings. At its most basic level the song is about two people who love each other, yet cause each other great pain. In an interview on "All That You Can't Leave Behind", Bono said on writing the lyrics for One: "I had a lot of things going on in my head at the time, about forgiveness, about father and son angst."

http://en.yappr.com/welcome/Video.action?videoGuid=B246D951-A23F-425A-ADC1-848DCAACD7D7

「ワン」は彼らの代表曲の一つとして広く知られている。「ワン」の持つ意味にはさまざまな説がある。最も基本的なものによると、この歌は2人の人間が愛し合いながらもお互いに痛みを与えあうというもの。「オール・ザット・ユー・キャント・リーヴ・ビハインド」のインタビューでボーノは、ワンの歌詞を書いた時の事を「あの頃は色々な事で頭が一杯だった、許しとか、父と息子の苦悩とか。」と語った。

BBC News 24 error, interview job applicant

FedEx 2008 Super Bowl Ad

I could never figure out how kings planned their military campaigns with carrier pigeons that might fall prey to falcons and other problems. I guess they just sent enough of them to be reasonably sure one would arrive. Now we just use FedEx!

かつて王達がその軍事行動計画を、容易にハヤブサやその他の問題の犠牲になり得る鳩達に託した事は信じがたい。多分彼らは、少なくとも一羽は確実に到着するだろうと予測し得る数の鳩を飛ばしたのだろう。今、我々はフェデックスを使います。
