Yes We Can



I know I'm not the first person to embed this video in their blog. Call it schmaltzy or propaganda if you like, but it really is beautifully done. I can't remember the last time a politician spoke words that moved me. There's been footage of RFK or FDR that I've found stirring or inspiring, but never a politician in the present day who has seemed thoughtful, sincere and genuine. Until Mr. Obama. Some people say that you need connections and be a card-carrying member of the Old Boy's Club in order to get anything accomplished as a leader in Washington. This year I'm going to go with genuine. I think this year, that's enough for me.

BTW, on my first night sans Quizzo in forever, I tried to finally catch an episode of According to Jim so I could see what all the hubbub was about and wouldn't you know it, it was preempted by Super Tuesday coverage! Sheesh.

Idle Hands

Do you know what I'm NOT doing right now? Writing questions. Do you know the last time I wasn't writing questions on a Monday night? 2001. The X-Files was still on the air, there was no such thing as American Idol, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears were both sober and America was not at war in Iraq (officially). Ha!

Enjoy your Super Duper Mardi Gras Tuesday tomorrow. I may be out somewhere, but I won't be at Quizzo! Kisses.

And special thanks to the Alien Vs. Sexual Predator princess who posted this to Youtube:
