Juggling horrible weather and the primary.
Been a rough few hours.

First of all, I didn’t know Rosie O’Donnell could write with Capital letters. If she wrote like this more often, my eyes wouldn’t bleed. And what she says is well done on this Super Tuesday.
Hillary Clinton is not light on political experience or plans. Her deep knowledge, assured confidence, and personal strength shines through her speeches. While some would deride her for her background, few can argue that it hasn’t been substantial enough, or encompassing enough, to qualify her for the presidency, which is an argument that has been used against her chief opponent, Barack Obama.
Obama is invigorating. A silken-tongued master of hope-filled speech, an eloquent narrator of the American dream. “Yes we can,” he says, and the cheering crowd, inspired, rises to its feet. His background is more eclectic, and his roots more exotic than Clinton’s, but only two of his eleven years in politics were in the U.S. Senate. Is it enough? His proponents say it is, and even call his relative inexperience an asset — there’s no politics as usual if you take out the usual kind of politicians.
It’s still early yet, but so far I find both candidates believable. They are different, with a different mix of talents to bring to the political table, but they both seem to have the passion, plans, drive, and intelligence I want in my next president.
Not bad, Rosie. Not bad.

I thought the Buffalo Springfield classic would be appropriate today but I couldn’t find it on YouTube.
Instead, I found the Staple Singers singing “For What It’s Worth” and I had to go …
Whoa.

Whoa.

I’m getting my political happy dance on today as I’m sure some of you are.
My bold non-observations:
Yeah, I got nothing. Sense and Nonsense … That’s me.
I think someone should write a Jane Austin parody. Barry and I would star in the film.
