SVLDave — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:50:26 GMT

Thousands of people lined up at the Santa Clara County Medical Center clinic this morning for H1N1 flu shots. The line began forming well before 7am for a 9:30 start of the clinic's flu shots, and by 10am it streched 3 times around the building, and snaked through the parking lot.

According to a Sunnyvale DPS officer only 1,000 immunizations were available. By 10:30 am there were several thousand people in line, blocking streets as they waited.

The Letter C

iReporter777 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:17:26 GMT

I grew up watching Sesame Street with my brothers and sister in the seventies. My favorite characters were Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert, and Oscar the Grouch. Count Dracula was ok, too. He made me laugh a lot.

We watched the show regularly and learned English in the process.

In August, I bought lots of Sesame Street shirts and jackets to show how much of a fan I am.

Happy 40th Birthday, Sesame Street! I miss watching the show.

After winning the 2009 World Series against Philadelphia, Yankees fans took to the street at the Canyon of Heroes to help commemorate their winning team. I attempted to discover who are Yankees fans and what the Yankees mean to them. A high quality version can be found at www.maxxscholten.com/stories

Yankees Victory Parade 2009

Fans came out in droves, hung from scaffolding and filled the streets of lower Manhattan to see the NY Yankees parade down Broadway after winning the 2009 World Series.

Several hundred thousand New York Yankees fans crowd lower Manhattan to get a glimpse of the victory parade for the 2009 World Series Champions, but many of them, including those featured in this video, could only get as close as a JumboTron displaying the parade down the Canyon of Heroes on Broadway.

Obama: Slight Fracture

brixton — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:31:46 GMT

Republicans are pointing to this past Tuesday’s gubernatorial victories in New Jersey and Virginia as evidence of the GOP’s ‘ascendancy’. Democrats are downplaying the losses as well as trumpeting a House victory in NY23- the first since the Civil War.

Contrary to the spin, the losses are not proof that the right-wing worm has turned and that the Obama Administration is now on a downward spiral to demise. The party of the governorship has traditionally flipped in opposition to the party of the President and exit polls showed that Obama is held in fairly high regard and was not a factor in voters’ decisions.

The flip side, of course, is that Obama did campaign heavily for Corzine and Deeds and failed to excite voters to turn out on their behalf. Whereas the defeats may not be attributed to Obama, he certainly didn’t propel the candidates to victory.

The fight for the vacant House seat in NY’s 23^rd District may illuminate future problems for both parties. The Republicans- bowing down in abeyance to the far-right, used Rovian dirty tricks to destroy their own moderate Dede Scozzafava, replacing her with Conservative Doug Hoffman. Instead of a Sarah Palin-endorsed victory, Democrat Bill Owens, took the race, with the help of Republican moderates and Independents. Bad news for Dems is that they greatly outnumber Republicans in the 23^rd, and didn’t show at the polls. Despite voter apathy, Owens won, but not as handily as he could have.

That same Democratic voter indifference was evident in New Jersey and Virginia, where the large turnouts that elected Barack Obama in 2008 were nowhere to be found in ’09.

The pitfall for the GOP in 2010 could be whether or not the internecine warfare among conservatives and moderates will have the latter group abandon the party, adding their voices and votes to the Democrats, while the problem awaiting Democrats may be crippling apathy, allowing the GOP to triumph unchallenged.
