Today

[thisnewday]

Today, I'm gonna put together a care package for my nephew Erik--who is presumably in a hot, dusty place where people shoot at him--and then I'm gonna go to my polling place and vote out of office a few of the arrogant, incompetent morons who sent him there...

Doin' something eases frustration a mite ... better than sittin' and moanin' ... gives me a tiny feeling of being in control of "soomething". BUT sometimes there's too much doin' and not enough thinkin'

balance .. keepin' all the Indian Clubs movin in a pattern...

that's so true. and it's the sort of truth we might well ponder after a great political victory. it's only a victory if, on reflection, we figure out how to finally do what's right--then summon the courage and sense of common cause to get it done. too bad so much of that was squandered through the massive failure of leadership that followed 9/11--on both sides of the political aisle.

but i'm also hopeful that out of this mess may have emerged some extraordinarily talented young leadership, in particular barack obama, first term senator from illinois, and harold ford who ran a principled and hard-fought campaign in tennessee. what a great combination that might make for the democrats in 2008 or 2012...
