Yes We Can!

This morning I feel, for the first time in my life, that the people of the United States will be well taken care of by the government they elected. I don't recall feeling this good about anything in a very long time. I wrote more about it on my 365 photo here.

November 4, 2008

Have I mentioned that I'm a cynic? Have I mentioned that I have trouble not tuning out politicians whenever they speak? Regardless of whether I agree with them or not? Have I mentioned how much of an identity crisis I had when I listened for the first time to the entirety of one of...

This was much anticipated, and though it comes as no surprise I hope his clout and visibility serve Obama well. But there's a more important story to this endorsement.

October 6, 2008

Over the last few weeks I've watched up-to-the-minute Twitter updates about the world's financial markets with a sort of morbid excitement. I just love a good shaking-up.

September 26, 2008

I very sincerely, without judgment, and with an open mind, would like to know why you support Sarah Palin.
