Tête-à-Tête-Tête

I don’t know what it is like in the rest of the country but in my small town there is a rush on the gas stations. I’m really not all of that sure just how important a full tank of gas is but at this moment it seems to rank right up there with Salvation. [...]

West Memphis 3 - evidence doesn’t “rule out” the “possibility” that they are guilty… so no new trial.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags

what about that lhc?

Whoever in the RNC decided to steal flags, and then lie about the DNC’s use and plans for them, should be fired.
Barry commented the other day that one shouldn’t be branded incompetent and fired over a relatively minor (if stupid) mistake made in the process of scavenging campaign material from Google Images. [...]

For while Senator McCain was turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11, I stood up and opposed this war, knowing that it would distract us from the real threats we face. When John McCain said we could just “muddle through” in Afghanistan, I argued for more resources and more troops to finish the [...]

… I won’t have much nice to say about her, I’m afraid. I am glad that McCain chose a woman to run with him. I like Joe Biden, but I was rooting for Janet Napolitano for Obama’s running mate. She is a lovely woman. The rest of the information [...]

I read rather than listened to BO’s acceptance speech. I liked some of the words he used. These are his words about purpose:
… part of what has been lost these past eight years can’t just be measured by lost wages or bigger trade deficits. What has also been lost is our sense of [...]
