Mexico voted to elect a new President Enrique Pena Nieto of the center-left Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
The Mid-Atlantic states suffered damaging storms over the weekend.
I met very interesting people at the local Democratic office yesterday. I enjoy the talk on political matters with the people there, when they are not to be too resentful of my opinions. Cathy is back from San Diego from the conference on education and IT, both areas the Obama Administration could find strong allies from. I talked of the Illinois budget cuts for prisons. Sara said "what are they going to do with the prisoners?". I recall Ann said "the prison business" in which the private companies makes money out of our tax money.
While the euro situation somewhat got better with the leaders agreed upon the measures to be taken, Ramson who has been to England told me "they will keep talking" with the expression of annoyance. He like the ESM idea. He and Iulia who has been to Ireland agreed upon the time Irish people spend the time happily with a few drinks. Iulia said that the educational systems in Northern Ireland accepting both Catholic and Protestant students would ease the ethnic tensions there.
I told Justin that I found it interesting that the words "kain (= to eat)" in Filipino is cognate with "kanin (= rice)". It shows how rice is integrated into the meals there. He assured me that there is no bahay kubo in the cities.
