THE POST MY DETRACTORS WISH I HAD WRITTEN ABOUT THE TEA PARTIES
I still think the tea parties get credit for their fun signs. You have to admit the signs ARE fun.

I really like everything you write. But, I don't understand why you are being so snarky. Who are these people hurting? I admire their spunk - I would love to participate in one of these - the signs are great, they showcase conservatives' great sense of humor and everyone looks like they are having fun. What is so bothersome?

<em>24</EM> FUMBLES OPENING KICKOFF
My husband and I have never watched 24 until now (I was in school getting a Masters - he was just too busy) We really enjoyed it! Although Garofalo is terrible...I will agree with that. Otherwise - we were on the edge of our seats!

WHAT MIDDLE AMERICA THINKS OF THE ELECTION
Rick - I grew up in Naperville. I drive north - straight up 39/51 to Wisconsin every summer and fall. The Midwest tugs at my heart. I tell everyone who wants to know what I think to read your blog...I couldn't say things any better...

IF ELECTED, OBAMA WILL BE MY PRESIDENT
Rick,
I've printed out your post and will keep it handy. For months I have ruminated about how to be gracious if a man I believe would be horrible for the country is elected. I remind myself that I felt the same way about Nixon and '72 and I turned out to be wrong.
You summed up the dilemma perfectly. I'll refer to it often if needed to try and pull myself up on the high road.

SHOULD WE IGNORE REVEREND WRIGHT?
It's unfortunate that this society has so much hate ingrained in it. I've read your post and others about Rev. Wright. I live in the Chicago metropolitan area and know first hand the wonderful things this pastor has done for ALL of Chicago, not just the black citizens. His fundamental belief is that Christ died for all and loves all people. You call him anti-American, however if you have done any research at all into his background, you will find that during the Vietnam war he gave up is student deferment and enlisted in the military to fight for his country. I am so tired of people ranting about individuals who are courageous enough to try and better the environment of those who live in our country and the world. We don't have to agree with everything a person does; in fact I don't think it's healthy to agree with everything. It's the our differences that makes America so special. Senator Obama has obviously witnessed the positive impact that Dr. Wright has had in our community as has the Governors, Mayors and other officials that often call upon him for advice and support throughout his 36 years of service. The thing that is so special about Senator Obama is not that he's perfect or has always said or done the right things, but that he believes that America is for us all, not just conservatives but liberals as well, not just whites and blacks, browns, and all between.
Rick, if you are so pro-American, then why spend so much effort trying to tear down someone else like Senator Obama. Our fore-fathers founding this country on Biblical principals and said that "In God We Trust". So as the Bible says, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at him." ... I don't think you qualify to throw these stones.
