Most specifically, how about a piece on my new hero, Matthew Mitcham, the oh-so-beautiful, openly gay Australian GOLD MEDAL winner?! I happened to be at a gay sports bar when Mitcham's winning dive was broadcast, and watched a room-full of queers get all misty-eyed. It was a wonderful evening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-40188216021842775132008-08-24T00:43:00.000-04:002008-08-24T00:43:00.000-04:00She will hit it out of the park in her speech. We...She will hit it out of the park in her speech. We still get Goose-bumps (and Moose-bumps and Roxie-bumps) 'round here every time we recall the speech she gave on June 7 when she suspended her campaign. We especially love these lines:<BR/><BR/>"To those who are disappointed that we couldn’t go all the way – especially the young people who put so much into this campaign – it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you’re knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on."<BR/><BR/>She will rise to the occasion, but it will be up to Obama to make the case to voters. She has urged her supporters to support him, but a sizable number still aren't convinced -- and that doesn't make them bad Democrats or closet Republicans or bitter feminazis refusing to let go of a sister's defeat. It makes them unconvinced, which means the burden is on the party's nominee to convince them he deserves their support. Fear-mongering won't do it. Finger-pointing won't do it. Name-calling won't do it.<BR/><BR/>What might do it? Acknowledgment. Humility. Empathy. Listening. The proof will be in the pudding.Roxie Smith Lindemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455529922082930949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-51727022435511298242008-08-23T21:29:00.000-04:002008-08-23T21:29:00.000-04:00Hillary has a speech to make at the convention, an...Hillary has a speech to make at the convention, and I am going to listen to where she goes with that — especially remembering how unexpectantly exciting and healing the last one was!
