I tried three times to figure out how I wanted to word this entry, and everything came out sounding trite and cliche. How to emphasize what may very well be the most historic day, the most memorable day, in my entire life as an American citizen? Only rarely do amazing people influence us as a [...]
Tonight we went out to watch some American football (which clearly needs to be differentiated from that other football) and on the way home caught the bus as we always do. Usually, Germans tend to keep very much to themselves, with no “small talk” or other informalities. However, this bus driver tonight immediately said “USA? [...]
I’m so amazed, happy, jubilated, excited, and many other words that I’m at a complete loss for just out of sheer exhilaration.
I just watched McCain’s concession speech. He is a classy character and such a hard worker. He’s a great, admirable person, and as a close friend of my father-in-law, I’m sure he’s a wonderful, [...]
I haven’t talked about politics since this relatively tame post for very good reason. The time I wrote that I was going through a horribly rough stretch, hating living here, being homesick and generally miserable. Then someone left a comment on my post telling me that I didn’t deserve to vote since all of my [...]
This is one hilarious video (and a great idea to poke your friends into voting, as if any of you have any lazy friends!), but by my calculations, my vote should be reaching the Denver Elections Offices today. Hooray!
The feedback I’ve been reading about the DNC has been AMAZING and I’m kind of sad that we weren’t able to be in Denver to participate in the mayhem. I’ve now read the full text of Obama’s speech, and parts of it resonated enough to give me chills. I can’t imagine the powerful impact he [...]
Ok, that’s a terrible subject line, I know. But I’ve been following the Iowa Caucuses closely (well, they haven’t started yet, but I’ve been following the following of them? Or what am I trying to say here?). Anyway, I’m sick and enjoying cold medicine so bear with my tangents.
So, how many of you know who [...]
I always kind of loved the whole “fall back” part of Daylight Savings. I used to plan a trip over the “fall back” weekend, so I could spend one extra hour partying or hanging out with friends. Now, I prefer to maximize that extra hour by sleeping. And boy howdy do I hate when spring [...]
(”Two posts about politics in two days? Don’t you have a kid to blog about or something?”)
Tomorrow is Election Day and I can’t wait to see you all with your “I Voted” stickers. (Find out where to vote.) Ever since I was a kid, I can always remember those terrible political commercials that start airing [...]
Even though I get the newspaper most days, I only seem to really sit down and read it on Sunday mornings. This Sunday, the big story in this area revolves around “Pastor Ted” and his “sexually immoral” conduct. (story)
For those of you that don’t know, this guy was busted by a male escort for a [...]
