I envy you your ancient cat. I'm not allowed to own a cat where I live so I suffer from terrible cat envy. (although not catbox envy).
Thank-you for your comments. As for manos99 and his comment...
I find it contemptible but I'm not sure how to respond. What would reach manos99?
Joan Walsh is threatening to install reader response stars, so we could press zero stars over posts like that. But ignoring them also is a way of responding.
I hope you're wrong about Obama's supporters on the whole. I hope that this "movement" for "change" represents something deeper than what you suspect.
I also hope that the lesson people take away--should Obama win--is not that the woman never wins. Both of them have won extraordinary support. And whatever happens, it will be close. If there could be two winners, this would be the year. Neither of them wants to be VP though. So that wouldn't be the solution.
Hmmm. Well, I suppose I should go and do productive things with my day instead of worrying. I never thought that Obama would get this far. But I have to admit that I think (although I'm not without doubts) that it will be a good thing if he wins the nomination. And I think that, policy-wise, Obama would not govern so differently than the way Bill and Hillary did.
peace.
