The longer Hillary Clinton stays in the race, the more viral videos like these will surface. It is hilarious to us, but then again, we are not Hillary Clinton, still campaigning and campaigning and campaigning. The video is a dramatization but the photos above are really Hillary Clinton, without benefit of Photoshop.

Earlier in the campaign, Mrs Clinton regularly took time out to enjoy a drop of the hard stuff with voters but she avoided informal contact with reporters
Earlier, she took a couple hours out of her not-so-busy schedule for a little sightseeing, driving in her 7-car motorcade up to Mount Rushmore.

Her appearance startled the handful of tourists at the shrine to the presidency on a cold and overcast morning.
One woman approached her and said: “Thank you for running.”
Mrs Clinton replied: “I need your help.” Another, who happened to have a copy of Mrs. Clinton’s “Living History,” handed it her to be inscribed.

As Mrs. Clinton received a briefing on the sculpture from a park ranger, her press entourage pressed in with boom mikes and clicking shutters, but she was in no mood for levity or cheap metaphors.
She brushed off the predictable press questions: “Can you see yourself up there?” and “How about your husband?”

Mrs Clinton replied: “This isn’t a press event. It’s a tourist occasion. Why don’t you learn something?”

Incomparable Queen of Disco Donna Summer made an appearance on the Today Show on May 30, 2008, performing two of her classic hits, “She Works For The Money” and “Hot Stuff,” and her new single, “Stamp Your Feet” from her new album, “Crayons” — her first album with new material in 17 years. She also talked with Matt Lauer about her return to recording after the long hiatus.

The legendary singer who released “Crayons,” her first studio album in 17 years last week landed at #5 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop albums chart and #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 making “Crayons” the singer’s highest debuting album ever, trumping “She Works Hard For the Money” released in 1983.

Adding to her list of accomplishments this week, Summer’s “I’m A Fire,” the first single from “Crayons” rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Charts making it her 13th #1 single to top the club charts and her 19th #1 charting single across all charts.

Donna Summer is now the only artist to have had a #1 charting dance hit in every decade since the 1970’s.

Survival International has released amazing photographs of an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon in Brazil.

Researchers have produced aerial photos of jungle dwellers who they say are among the few remaining peoples on Earth who have had no contact with the outside world.

Taken from a small airplane, the photos show men outside thatched communal huts, necks craned upward, pointing bows toward the air in a remote corner of the Amazonian rainforest.

The National Indian Foundation, a government agency in Brazil, published the photos Thursday on its Web site. It tracks “uncontacted tribes” — indigenous groups that are thought to have had no contact with outsiders — and seeks to protect them from encroachment.

More than 100 uncontacted tribes remain worldwide, and about half live in the remote reaches of the Amazonian rainforest in Peru or Brazil, near the recently photographed tribe, according to Survival International, a nonprofit group that advocates for the rights of indigenous people.

“All are in grave danger of being forced off their land, killed or decimated by new diseases,” the organization said Thursday.

Some news sources report the uncontacted tribe are Envira Indians. Finding “uncontacted tribes” in the Amazon begs the question. Should they be contacted? Should they be protected from contact?

Dramatic photographs of previously unfound Amazon Indians have highlighted the precariousness of the few remaining “lost” tribes and the dangers they face from contact with outsiders.

The bow-and-arrow wielding Indians in the pictures released on Thursday are likely the remnants of a larger tribe who were forced deeper into the forest by encroaching settlement, experts said.

Rather than being “lost”, they have likely had plenty of contact with other indigenous groups over the years, said Thomas Lovejoy, an Amazon expert who is president of The Heinz Center in Washington.

“I think there is an ethical question whether you can in the end keep them from any contact and I think the answer to that is no,” Lovejoy said.

“The right answer is to have the kind of contact and change that the tribes themselves manage the pace of it.”
