Snuggled firmly between Tibet and India is the world’s newest democracy, a tiny country called Bhutan, where last Thursday, a very young and handsome man had a colorful raven-topped crown placed upon his head by his father, officially anointing [...]
I drove Ruby to school on Tuesday morning just like I do every Tuesday morning and as I turned from North Park Way onto 32nd Street, I saw these two angels standing on a corner.
They were huddled together beneath their umbrella in what had to be the first real rain storm we’ve had in San [...]
I’m still trying to process all the emotions I’ve been feeling since Tuesday night. I can barely believe it’s real, that Barack Obama is our next president, and what that means to me, to my daughter, to our nation, to the world. When I awoke at 3:00 in the morning on the 5th, I actually [...]
Here’s hoping the nation follows this example today.
And then I’ll finally be able to get back to writing about Ruby’s boogers and her annoying habit of telling me I’m stinky.
Until then, watch this.

Turn it up loud.

This Sunday, 33 pastors will be endorsing candidates from their pulpits and here’s what one of them has to say:
“I’m going to talk about [...]
You should be very, very proud of your representative today!

My head just exploded.
Bush threatens a veto so the Dems capitulate? Again? With the excuse that public opinion favors off-shore drilling?!? Give me a break. “Public opinion” also favors creationism, so maybe our representatives in congress should take a step back from the ledge before relying too heavily on it as the barometer for decision [...]
I happened to catch the very end of Larry “My Neck Is Killin’ Me” King last night and finally heard someone on the teevee defend community organizing. On Wednesday night, Sarah Palin belittled Obama’s history of community service with a sneer on her face and the Republicans have continued to use this talking point as [...]
Here’s a little smidgen of fact check by the AP (read the whole thing here):
“PALIN: “There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even [...]
