Hey Tom, other people have mentioned it, but you can and are doing it, and also, YOU ROCK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh lord -- speaking of politics, someone I had just met asked me in a meeting yesterday if my generation really "got" what a big deal this election year is. (After some discussion of if kids today get it.) I'm not that young! As I pointed out, even little kids have seen a page of photos of past presidents and would have noticed they were all white men!

if my generation really "got" what a big deal this election year is.
see. my first reaction would be to say something ridiculous. or quote from Harold and Maude just to be spiteful.
Or... "I KNOW. American Idol is back and I'm so psyched."
Meanwhile, little do they know I'm making calls to their neighbors and doing poli-blogs.
which is why I feel misunderstood. I guess.

Now, on some level, I'm more consumed with how ridiculous it is that it's such a big deal! One Catholic president, one divorced president, one bachelor president -- that's the "diversity." I mean, seriously. It's the future! We should be doing better already!
Don't get me started on the leadership and boards of the Fortune 500.

I sort of want Fox to have to say over and over "the First xxx President".
HOWEVER. I also want everyone who watches Fox to understand that will not fix things and we will not go back to 'normal' after.
I am troublesome. and demanding.

My eye-rolling, let me show you it.

I'm so sorry meara, that sucks beyond sucks.
And GC, my condolences to you, your GF, and her family.
My first strong political memory is of watching the Nixon impeachment. Well, federal politics anyway.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Even though I remember the Patty Hearst stuff with better clarity, I have very vague memories of seeing some of the Watergate hearings on TV while my mom was watching. Then, I remember everyone making fun of Ford for falling "all the time," and we were pulled out of 5th grade class to watch Carter inaugurated. I think I remember asking Mom whom she voted for in '76, but she said that was private and something you should never ask someone.
Sadly for my judgment, for my first voting experience when I was 18, I voted for Reagan in '84--"Morning in America," combined with all the "U-S-A!"-ing in LA that summer, got to me. Then, I watched Ollie North lie his ass off to Congress a few years later and was even more disillusioned with the Repubs than I was already by that point.
