Today is Cinco De Mayo. An icon of our community, Avila's in Laguna Niguel, has embraced it with open arms:
This is as another icon of South Orange County, Soka University of America, is hosting an international festival--currently in its' 16th Year.
Beyond the beautiful confines of Laguna Niguel and South Orange County, though, it is a challenging AM as I was on the prowl for the AM and saw a fabulous Editorial by the Wall Street Journal on Venezuela which I also released ot my personal Twitter Feed. The idea of driving armored personnel carriers through peaceful protesters is just beyond barbaric. I also have been reading up the transcript of the Iranian Presidential Elections and will be helping with a Notation on it for The Daily Outsider over the weekend. From what I am seeing so far, sparks flew despite all the profound constraints. I found it a bit amusing that the candidates welcomed criticism--despite the fact that two of the leading internal dissenters, Mehdi Karoubi and Mir Hossein Mousavi, continue to be under house arrest and Former President Khatami continues to be "banned"--unless those of us politicos make sure we keep track of him through Instagram and other means.
As I go "dark" for the weekend and help with upcoming projects for the Daily Outsider for the upcoming week, I could not help but be moved by this admonition from Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III:

but the strength we give the weak.”

An admonition all of us should never forget....
Onward to the Weekend....
