A woman’s husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, he motioned for her to come nearer.
She sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.

川崎で水道管破裂、市道に“巨大噴水” : 社会 : YOMIURI ONLINE（読売新聞） ２日午後４時頃、川崎市中原区市ノ坪の市道で、地下に埋設された工業用の水道管（直径１・３メートル）が破裂し、水が約４メートルの高さまで噴き上がった。 現場の市道は約２００メートルにわたり冠水して通行止めとなり、付近の工場と飲食店計２棟が床上まで浸水。破裂の際に飛んだ砂利などで、駐車中の車のフロントガラスや住宅の窓ガラスが破損した。 川崎市水道局は、水道管への送水を止めて復旧作業を行い、水は約３時間後に引いたが、市道に直径約５・５メートル、深さ約３メートルの穴ができた。破裂したのは１９６２年に敷設された水道管で、同局で原因を調べている。 現場は、国道４０９号（府中街道）と綱島街道に挟まれた住宅街の一角。近くに住む会社員男性（４２）は「ドーンという地震のような大きな音と揺れがあり、外を見たら、水が２階の天井の高さまで噴き上がっていた」と驚いていた。 （2009年12月2日21時26分 読売新聞）
Just asking…
This was sent from a friend… And this list doesn’t even include things like calling a working cop an idiot and referencing the “57 States.” Still, a good start…
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word “advice” would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, tell us again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 11 months — so you’ll have three years and one month to come up with an answer.
