And no matter who wins, if Gore also comes on board in some capacity (Ambassador to the Planet?), it will be one thrilling era ahead for boomer progressives!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-77893780915554830052008-02-12T11:56:00.000-05:002008-02-12T11:56:00.000-05:00Well, I feel such a huge huge huge disappointment....Well, I feel such a huge huge huge disappointment. Go Hill!<BR/><BR/>One thing that truly amazes me in this whole thing? Alcee Hastings. I do not know if you are familiar with him, but here in Palm Beach County we are very familiar with him.<BR/><BR/>Alcee Hastings is an African American US Congressman whose district includes Palm Beach and Broward counties. He "owns" or "rules" the black vote here. Since 2000 he has been convincing African Americans to run in races EVEN WHERE THERE IS AN INCUMBENT DEMOCRAT and throwing his support behind them. Regardless of party. <BR/><BR/>He came out for Hillary. He has not changed, as I had expected, to go with the Bark Obama pack. Maybe I have to show him a teeny weeny bit of respect? Darn. At least it is well earned in this case. Just this once.<BR/><BR/>Each election cycle we get a bit more bruised and battered - our democratic t-shirts a bit more tattered - til we think has it at all mattered - our dreams of ovaries in the White House shattered....<BR/><BR/>I am still holding my dog-candle in the window to help light her way.<BR/><BR/>Keep on keepin on Hill!<BR/><BR/>Bussie Kissies<BR/>BusterBuster the Wired Fox Terrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491543862812716302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-55236260205512042722008-02-12T09:37:00.000-05:002008-02-12T09:37:00.000-05:00Fear not, DEB -- We jealously recall your deep roo...Fear not, DEB -- We jealously recall your deep roots with the dulcet-toned dyke up there in Dickinson country. We honor you as one of the Original Love Slaves to Rachel Maddow, but we brook no quarter in the battle to establish ourselves as a bastion of Maddow-mania. That smart little tough girl can put us on a leash any time, if you know what I mean.Roxie Smith Lindemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455529922082930949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-80896778512724186272008-02-11T23:32:00.000-05:002008-02-11T23:32:00.000-05:00I was just about to send that parody to you! I fi...I was just about to send that parody to you! I find it irresistible. Perhaps because there *is* a war on; and McCain's rhetoric -- particularly the laugh line about bombing Iran -- is truly chilling. I think it's heuristic to be reminded of what the stakes are for this election. And, I suppose, deflation seems the more common response to the current political scene than inspiration! Peace out? I dearly hope we *can*.<BR/><BR/>But most of all, I love the homage to Rachel Maddow. Don't forget, I knew her when she was only an infinitely crush-worthy morning radio show host. It's almost enough to make you believe in the power of raw intelligence. . . . Yes we might? Yours, lacking all conviction, but proud of y'all for continuing the struggle, dog-eared bookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
