Cokie Roberts: Hillary is Amazing at Foreign Policy Because She Memorized Potholes
In a segment on Morning Joe that defies belief, Joe Scarborough led a discussion with Cokie Roberts and some lady from Glamour magazine about the amazing wonder and grandeur of Hillary Clinton's grasp of foreign policy. Apparently somewhere in an alternate universe, the Russian reset worked and the world isn't falling apart by the second.
But really the best quote was Cokie Roberts saying Hillary is brilliant because she memorized potholes in New York.

USA: NEW YORK: HILLARY CLINTON CRITICISES CONGRESS
English/Nat
The United States First Lady has criticised Congress for not paying enough attention to important issues that affect the lives of Americans.
Hillary Clinton made the comments at a function in New York on Wednesday, where 'Parents' magazine honoured the First Lady.
The magazine's editor presented her with a special award for her commitment to affordable, safe and quality child-care.
The First Lady was the featured speaker at the awards ceremony and she wasted no time in criticising Congress.
She says it's not doing enough for child-care funding and it's not concentrating on important issues that affect the lives of Americans.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
We need to hold political leaders accountable for what they do and they don't do when it comes to working families and children. And I hope that everyone who is eligible to vote in these upcoming elections will think hard about what's really important in our nation's future and there's a long list of issues; education and health care, the environment. social security reform, our national security dealing with terrorism, child care, issues that truly affect how we will live in the next century. Those are the issues Congress should be paying attention to, those are the issues Americans should be voting on, those are the issues that will make a difference in the kind of country we have in the years to come. Thank you very much for your support.
SUPER CAPTION: Hillary Rodham Clinton, U-S First Lady
'Parents' magazine reaches a total audience of more than 11 million mothers and fathers, providing information and practical advice to parents.
Other awards were presented to the best family day-care, best in-home care provider and best day-care centre employee.

The former secretary of state, senator and first lady is working on a collection of personal essays that will touch on the 2016 presidential campaign, Simon & Schuster told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist who has been a major figure in popular culture for more than fifty years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as Blowin' in the Wind (1963) and The Times They Are a-Changin' (1964) became anthems for the civil rights movement and anti-war movement. His lyrics during this period incorporated a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defied pop-music conventions and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture.
Following his self-titled debut album in 1962, which mainly comprised traditional folk songs, Dylan made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan the following year. The album featured Blowin' in the Wind and the thematically complex A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall. For many of these songs, he adapted the tunes and phraseology of older folk songs. He went on to release the politically charged The Times They Are a-Changin' and the more lyrically abstract and introspective Another Side of Bob Dylan in 1964. In 1965 and 1966, Dylan encountered controversy when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation, and in the space of 15 months recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s: Bringing It All Back Home (1965), Highway 61 Revisited (1965) and Blonde on Blonde (1966). The six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone (1965) has been described as challenging and transforming the artistic conventions of its time, for all time.In July 1966, Dylan withdrew from touring after being injured in a motorcycle accident. During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of the Band, who had previously backed him on tour. These recordings were released as the collaborative album The Basement Tapes in 1975. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in John Wesley Harding (1967), Nashville Skyline (1969), and New Morning (1970). In 1975, he released Blood on the Tracks, which many saw as a return to form. In the late 1970s, he became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early 1980s. The major works of his later career include Time Out of Mind (1997), Love and Theft (2001), Modern Times (2006) and Tempest (2012). His most recent recordings have comprised versions of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra ...

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of people stood in line in New York on Monday morning, some after waiting through the night, for the chance to get former First Lady, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, to autograph her new book.
Employees of a Barnes & Noble bookstore in midtown Manhattan began issuing wristbands, like those issued to ticket buyers at rock concerts, to buyers of her Living History autobiography.
Only two hundred and fifty wristbands were being handed out, entitling the wearer to meet the senator during the signing.
In spite of the limit on wristbands, the crowd kept growing in a line behind police barricades near a side entrance to the Fifth Avenue store.
Barnes & Nobles' vice president of marketing, Bob Wietrack, predicted the memoir will be the chain's number 1 nonfiction book of the year.
Simon & Schuster, which agreed to pay Clinton eight million (m) US dollars, printed an astounding one million (m) copies.
In the book, Clinton revisits the public and private wreckage from her husband's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky, and concludes that what her husband did was morally wrong but not a betrayal of the public.
Time magazine is running excerpts from the book and an interview with Clinton.
In the interview, Clinton was asked if she plans to run for president in 2008, and answers: I have no intention of running for president. She repeated this answer at the book signing.
A new ABC poll found that 53 percent of Americans don't want the former first lady ever to run for president.
