&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;“All landlocked countries are by definition surrounded by neighbors.  Switzerland has Germany, Italy, France, and Austria.  Uganda has Kenya, which has been stagnant for nearly three decades; Sudan, which has been embroiled in a civil way; Rwanda, which had a genocide; Somalia, which completely collapsed; the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the history of which is sufficiently catastrophic for it to change its name from Zaire; and finally Tanzania, which invaded it.  You could say that at least in recent decades Switzerland has been in the better neighborhood.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/111268766</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/111268766</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2009 22:54:47 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>home away from home</title><description>&lt;img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/sEaHZDtssngbrvmvEqbREUqmo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;home away from home&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/107466943</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/107466943</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2009 21:27:09 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>ahh, ok</title><description>&lt;img src="http://6.media.tumblr.com/sEaHZDtssngbpuyz40kcoO1Ko1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;ahh, ok&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/107466324</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/107466324</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2009 21:25:34 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelics at the...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/sEaHZDtssngbp31548c7LYsBo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelics at the track.

&lt;p&gt;No one can be trusted.  Numbers cannot count.  Championships are tarnished. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everyone involved in Major League Baseball should be ashamed.  How many times can we say, ‘well at least (&lt;strike&gt;insert ARod&lt;/strike&gt;, &lt;strike&gt;insert Manny&lt;/strike&gt;) is clean’.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Purdue Basketball coach Matt Painter, waves the green flag to start today Indianapolis 500 practice. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vitor takes the green flag in this picture, but is not that fast so far.  Foyt racing is so disappointing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I like this guy, he’s got some nice opinions and serious analyses on Horse related topics. I only wish i had the time to regularyly put out articles like him. He does have two first names as a name though… (just like Lucas)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/103963104</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/103963104</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2009 21:07:49 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Yes, that will work</title><description>&lt;a href="http://videos.espn.com/m/video/22203814/indy-at-100-greatest-spectacle-in-racing.htm"&gt;Yes, that will work&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;That will most definately work&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/103575993</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/103575993</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2009 22:39:37 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>rediculous.

&lt;p&gt;And yet, somehow, some way, game one has already been topped.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I dont think Gary Bettman could have scripted these first two game any better.  Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined the games two biggest stars both putting up hat tricks in a playoff game against each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only way I could be happier would be to see a Caps victory over the Blackhawks in the Cup.     &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/103566675</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/103566675</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2009 22:15:06 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Indianapolis 500 traditions</title><description>&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_500_traditions"&gt;Indianapolis 500 traditions&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;The Derby traditions are pretty cool, but dont match the 500 &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102747435</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102747435</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2009 18:46:03 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>'Gil' McCoy, 83, led monument effort</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.indystar.com/article/20090502/LOCAL18/905020477"&gt;'Gil' McCoy, 83, led monument effort&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;God Bless ‘Gil McCoy’.  

Mr. McCoy was responsible for spearheading the effort to build the USS Indianapolis National Memorial.  Without ‘Gil’ its possible that all the brave soldiers’ fight for survival in the shrak infested Pacific Ocean could have gone without the recognition it deserved.  

We lost a great son of American today.

A visionary, a hero, an American.   &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102665613</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102665613</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2009 13:19:35 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Apparently wearing snuggies is cool, or maybe cubs fans suck</title><description>&lt;img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/sEaHZDtssmz1dn46fKZbYGBgo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apparently wearing snuggies is cool, or maybe cubs fans suck&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102424933</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102424933</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2009 19:03:49 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Watch dog</title><description>&lt;img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/sEaHZDtssmz1aic1jeXsYVqUo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch dog&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102424001</link><guid>http://believeinblue.tumblr.com/post/102424001</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2009 19:01:08 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
