Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

What is wrong with me?
I don't know, but I like it. I'd be crafty for things like that...

I love the Truthiness one--eagle and american flags and all!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

How nice to wake up to the Obama-vid and subversive cross-stitch. My heart swells with pride!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Actually, I think I'm oddly charmed by the mythos of the whole Manning family.

Here's my question about the Mannings -- did the same two parents really name one son Peyton and one Eli? That makes no sense!! (Which my coworkers did not get at all.)

I'm just afraid of Obama pulling a Carter

That's exactly my fear.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Kat, I am so sorry about your sister.

Wow, that Obama Vid is lovely. It made me tear. Also, was Jesse from the first episode of Buffy in it?

> I'm just afraid of Obama pulling a Carter

That's exactly my fear.

The thing is, Carter was the last president I thought was actually, you know, a good person. And that is important to me, even though good people don't seem to do well as president. Which is annoying to me. Of course my perspective on Carter may be skewed because I was a small child during his presidency.

But he wasn't an effective president -- that's my worry.

I actually just got a great email from someone I know about why he's supporting Hillary. It was really compelling.

Reaganesque charm combined with some serious, intelligent and organizational chops = Obama. Not that I think Clinton is unqualified, but what I think the country needs at this point is charismatic leadership in the right direction.

I guess I've finally made up my mind how I'm voting, and more important, why.

Ultimately, I think it's great that I wouldn't be upset with either of them as a candidate. And I think either of them could beat the Republican.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think I'm just missing the Obama gene - I got about 30 seconds into the "Yes We Can" video before I got bored and had to turn it off, which is pretty par for the course with me and Obama speeches. I just...I don't get it. Whatever wavelength he's speaking on, my brain's not tuned to it.
