This blog is most obviously not about "cute stuff." See all the forwards in your inbox for that. If something even remotely resembles "cute," we refuse on principle to link it.
We violate that to link this. It is probably "cute," but we place it here because we think that the singer shows an impressive grasp of dynamics, rhythm and tempo for her tender age. Her breath control also seems precocious, and her pitch is probably pretty good considering her youth as well.
But it's not here because it's "cute," OK?

- I often say the same of musicians in the worship band of my church...many are also quite cute.
Congratulations, you've a minimum of...ten years to wait for grandchildren!
While not as religiously relevant as your post, you (and your gentle readers) may find this as entertaining.

She is so lucky, I never was aloud to sit on the table at that age.
I think it's about time that you broke editorial policy to comment on current events that don't exactly mesh well with your immigration philosophy and policy recommendations.
Case in point: The nearly $1 million per mile "virtual" border fence is being scrapped, but only after sending the check for payment in full to Boeing a couple of months back.
Virtual fences are more effective than real ones. They are more high tech, sleeker, and cause more fear.
Chain link and barbed wire are the tools of a more uncivilized age. Nothing is more unsophisticated and barbaric than a 21st century Berlin wall. And fences are made to be scaled.
A great modern day example of this is the Israeli iron curtain. There has been a dramatic increase in suicide bombings in the last 2 years as the Israeli fence has been erected. Cross-border terrorist movement has accelerated as the fence has incentivized more terrorism.
A fence along the Mexican border will do the same. It's a good thing we will never have one. Even better, the border patrol will be replacing the existing virtual fence with next generation virtual fence technology. The 2 month old technology is so yesterday. Today we have a slightly more expensive technology that will be a leapfrog in capabilities. It will allow us to say we are doing something about border security, and doing something is a critical component of both party's platform.
SG:
You may have us confused with another blogger. We have no desire to see any fence erected between our Republic and Mexico's, any more than we want one between us and Canada.
As far as Israel is concerned, we don't know where you get your information about suicide bombings being more frequent since the fence went up. Maybe you mean rocket attacks. At any rate, we don't have a lot of enthusiasm for Israel's fences either, though we do insist that the present state of Israel has a right to do what it must to protect its citizens from terrorists.
If what you say is true on these points, there are two reasons we haven't blogged them: ignorance and apathy. We didn't know these factoids, and we don't have a lot of interest in them one way or the other.
So if you want someone to blog on these things in which you are interested, we recommend that you do it yourself.
