Tomorrow is such a historic day that I’m going to just let go and take it all in. Call it July 4th and Xmas in November. I don’t see how I could pay attention to anything else, regardless. We’ve already voted, but I’m addicted to the blogs right now, and tomorrow is going to be [...]

This is the extemporaneous speech Obama gave to union members in Milwaukee the other day. I first saw it over at Balloon Juice, where John C. said everybody had to watch. He scares me, so I did, but this is something really good: It’s raining manna from the sky right now. Go git some!

I watched the last few hours of the Democratic convention, and of course I heard Obama’s amazing speech. It wasn’t the words — most of what he said was very down-to-earth — but his courage and directness. The intensity of spirit that he showed, the empathy, the honesty — my God, the INTELLIGENCE! I’ve been [...]

I’ve just discovered this new video, which I am told is “going viral.” I hope so, because it’s affected me quite strongly this morning. I hope you like it and pass it on:

How long do you suppose the bird will do this before realizing that no sap is coming out? I could build this into a socio-political metaphor if I had [...]

I’m off at ZoukFest and busy as hell, but I wanted to post a quick pick-me-up that I found on another blog. I have no idea where it comes from or who to credit. I don’t even know how recent it is, but I love it. Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United [...]

I just watched Obama’s speech in St. Paul on video. (That link might not work, very heavy server traffic) If that doesn’t do anything to you, you must be made of stone. Pure campaign gold, too. He even has them roaring to “heal the planet…” This is what I felt when I finally paid attention. [...]

That’s what I can’t stand. As soon as someone comes along who offers to do things differently, who speaks to me like I’m a grownup, who’s tapped into a universal desire for positive change, then come the killers of hope. Every so-called “realist” comes out of the woodwork, saying things like: It’s a dream! You’re [...]
