I’m loving the Rachel Maddow Show. She has a knack for talking about exactly what I’m interested in, then analyzing the situation with a keen eye. I love her analysis of Palin’s use of quotes. She really did her homework here.
Dad blogged about this today. It was back during the “Sorry, Everybody” many Americans sent to the world after the last election. I’m still sorry, too. It actually turned out WORSE than I had imagined it would. Looking back, the Democratic candidate wasn’t anything to get excited about, but that last election (selection) was a MESS. Let’s hope there’s no “selection” this time and that it’s a landslide. It deserves to be. Barack Obama is the strongest candidate I’ve seen in my lifetime. He knows how to reach across the table of division, how to look opposition in the eye and see them as a person who deserves respect. That matters to me.
October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?October
And Kingdoms rise
And Kingdoms fall
But you go on……and on…
