We arose in hope, we retire in delight."You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time."
Abraham Lincoln

This is where I share the wisdom that a granny, as an elder of the tribe, accumulates in her journey through life. The reach of my mind is wide, and sometimes even a little deep. Sometimes, like Whitman, I contradict myself. Sometimes I wax eloquent. Sometimes I fall on my face. Why not do it in public?

Liberal Identity
My Liberal Identity:
You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

The Geneva Conventions are not quaint.
What does this mean? Who is the genius here?

Whoopee...you were one of the first people I thought of this morning...I should say, this GLORIOUS morning!
(also, I loved your TV story...a great lesson.)
Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!
J...are you smiling? I'm actually smiling....I'm tired from staying up so late watching the results come in, but I AM smiling. I can't wait to read the newspaper this morning....finally, a ray of hope.
Though I can't help feeling like the cow has already been let out of the barn in so many ways, I find myself unable to resist spontaneous bursts of happy-dancing.
My evil pleasure: I spent election night watching movies on tv with a diehard Republican friend. Can you say "schaudenfreude?"
Rumsfeld...out! Oh, how I would love to be a fly on the wall when that decision was made. :-)
Whoop and Woodle. Glory and Wonder!
I, also, would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the decision to throw Rumsfeld to the wolves was made. And when he was told!!!!
