Incredible Interview With Jimmy Carter!

Last Friday, President Jimmy Carter was interviewed on Real Time w/Bill Maher:

If you were not able to watch it, I suggest you do. My favorite quotes from the interview:

“Obama and the country might be even better off in the next two years. Because, at least the Republicans will have one entity of government – that is the House of Representatives – for which they will be responsible to the American people, so they can’t be totally irresponsible the two years, as they have been the first two years”

“[President Obama] may well find a new elememt of freedom after the election is over when he has the ability to put forward a proporal that’s well-considered and say, ‘Will you choose bertween me or the ill-advised members of the House of Representatives who are under Republican leadership?”

It’s why he is considered one of our best ex-presidents!

World AIDS Day: December 1st

World AIDS Day December 1st is World AIDS Day. Established by the World Health Organization in 1988, World AIDS Day serves to focus global attention on the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Observance of this day provides an opportunity for governments, national AIDS programs, churches, community organizations and individuals to demonstrate the importance of the fight against HIV/AIDS. With an estimated 38.6 million people worldwide living with HIV at the end of 2005, and more than 25 million people having died of AIDS since 1981, December 1st serves to remind everyone that action makes a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Everyone should be reminded that HIV/AIDS does not discriminate. With an estimated 1,039,000 to 1,185,000 HIV- positive individuals living in the U.S., and approximately 40,000 new infections occurring every year, the U.S., like other nations around the world is deeply affected by HIV/AIDS.

Please also visit AIDS.gov launched on World AIDS Day, December 1, 2006. AIDS.gov is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Internet portal that will provide users easy access to information on Federal HIV/AIDS prevention, testing, treatment, and research programs, policies, and resources.
