Yes, it is nice to feel proud again – proud of our potential leader, proud of our ability to overcome our history and prejudices, and proud that no matter how much slime, muck and filth is thrown at him, Senator Obama continues the theme of his campaign until the very end – we are the United States of America.
Is this the image McCain wants to cement in the minds of people? (Photo by Jim Wilson of the New York Times)
WTF? I am stunned – I really didn’t think they (Republicans) could be this amazingly … tone deaf?
If someone makes a T-shirt with the image below – let me know. I would be willing to wear it every day for the next eight weeks if it would make any difference at all.
One piece of advice – Sarah, don’t go to the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida – no matter what McCain or his handlers say. It would not make for good “political theater”.
Everyone has heard about ghost towns – but what about ghost states:
In its short-lived attempt at existence, the US state of Absaroka (pronounced ab-SOR-ka) managed to acquire quite a few trappings of statehood: a governor and capital were selected, Absarokan car license plates issued, and there even was a Miss Absaroka 1939 the first and only one. The King of Norway also visited, apparently – although he might not have suspected that it was a state visit.
