Who knows that poem or song about the guy who hammered the last railroad (gold) spike and then died? Links please.... Thanks!

I was telling my daughter about the fruits in grandmother's yard. The first fruit is a tiny little orange called a callamunden. I just don't think that is the correct name as when I search it there are only 2 results. They are very sour and look exactly like a tiny orange. I'm trying to find out the real name.

The other it a very weird fruit that tastes like a banana but grows on the ground in a plant that looks like an Elephant Ear plant. It's long, banana shaped and has what looks like little honeycomb skin that comes off when ripe to show the yellow/brown fruit underneath. It kind of tastes like a banana but has a bit of a sharp taste. Does anyone know what the heck is this weird fruit called, I can't remember. THANKS Much!

What are some good slogans for a Web-hosting company that operates on alternative energy? A "green" hosting company.....

I just got this in my email. How many know of or heard of this or can prove or disapprove it? I'm just wondering how he got so far so fast. I took the liberty of editing out some of the personal comments.

THE EMAIL:

About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the money come from for Obama'. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.

I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental where he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, still did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' - (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan .

During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's

family.

My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college. When he came back he started school at olumbia University in New York .

It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap to say the least! Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community organizer for $12,000 a year. Why go ? Why not New York ? He was lready living in New York .

By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans?

After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job,

which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what --They represented Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago .

In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race.

In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price.

The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was ichele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first.

Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran !

Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama.

Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?

And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, he stated 'he made a mistake'.

Some mistake!

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this? END OF EMAIL.

wow...

I'm in the US and work with a man, via email in India. He does great work for us. He just got married in March, I know I have a year here by our culture to send a gift, but what to send? Gift, money? Help....
