"Be counted on..."

...TO VOTE...

...no matter which political viewpoint you prefer.

"To make democracy work,

we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers.

One who does not vote

has

no right to complain."

~Louis L'Amour

"The News..."

...Encircles the world!

Greece...
Spain
United States of America!

"What you leave behind is not

what is engraved in stone monuments,

but

what is woven into the lives of others.”

"This is our time,

to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;

to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;

to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth,

that,

out of many, we are one;

that while we breathe, we hope.

And

where we are met with cynicism and doubts

and those who tell us that we can't,

we will respond with that timeless creed

that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes, we can."

~Barack Obama November 4, 2008

"Become Inspired..."

...and VOTE!

"To make democracy work,

we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers.

One who does not vote

has

no right to complain."

"How I Felt...

...after the 3rd, and FINAL, Presidential debate tonight:

“I know that you believe you understand

what you think I said,

but

I'm not sure you realize

that what you heard

is

not what I meant.”
~Robert McCloskey

And on that note...I gift you with a bit of tranquility...

compliments of the state of Colorado

...my personal "nirvana".

I desperately feel the need to be in Colorado...

among the aspen

and on a road less travelled.

"Politics Bugs Me!!..."

Click on photo to enlarge...I feel like bee #3

It always has...! :(

The Presidential debates left me in a really dark funk tonight.

I tire of the posturing,
and the creative interpretation of the "truth",
and the fingerpointing,
and the double talking,
and the "I, I, I'ing..."
and all the rest of the bunk.
It drives me Bonkers!
It happens on both sides...all the time...and it bugs me!

....And
...then there is the $750 Billion"Bail out"!
I'll save that for another night.
$$$Grrrrr!$$$

"Political Gridlock..."

"I saaaay no-ow...Who-oo do ya la-ove?" (Tap your foot to the beats of the song...and sing along...if you're old enough to remember it ;)

This is me..and my thoughts...on the results of the political primaries in the U.S. tonight...in grid (lock) format...how suiting...;)

And so, "I saaaay no-ow...Who-oo do ya la-ove?..."
And, the beat goes on..... ;)
