Right of center beats far left any day for me, so even though I wasn't surprised by the outcome of the election, I am still disappointed. McCain never thrilled me, but I do think he was the better man for the job. If Obama can move himself a few steps to the right and put some substance (other than taxes) behind his fab speeches (I do so love a good speech), he may do okay. If not, it'll perhaps be an interesting experiment in liberalism. I have doubt it'll be much more than the that, but I could be wrong. He could end up being good for the country for the next 4 years.*

So even in defeat, I feel okay about it. As my younger brother is fond of saying: "It really doesn't matter who gets elected. My life isn't going to change anyway." Ironically, he voted for Obama ;)


There's more. It's rough. I've got things to say and it may rub you wrong, even though it's not intended to. This cut isn't here to tempt you. It's here because I don't want to force it on you, but I want it out there. This is how I feel.
( My one true hope from an Obama victory... )


* My dream candidate (and former Lt. Gov. of my state) didn't enter the race this time around, but I'm hopeful he'll throw his hat in the ring in 4 years. So in the grand tradition of being on the losing side of an election, I'll go ahead and kick off...

Michael Steele 2012!

Last seen on or about April 3rd in the 1200 block of Isn't Life Swell Street, Clarity of Purpose vanished overnight without a trace. People in the neighborhood say they never even realized it had moved in nearby until it so abruptly disappeared.

"It was nice to be around and always seemed to know where it was going and why," said one neighbor. "I'm really going to miss it," added another. Some residents were too choked up over the loss to comment.

Clarity of Purpose is described as being bright and shiny, with no ambiguity, second thoughts, hesitation or regret. It was not believed to be disgruntled in any way, but persons encountering it should proceed with caution as it may be inclined to run at the first sign of being enjoyed. Clarity may be traveling with a sunny blue sky filled with big white fluffy clouds and possibly a rainbow and some frolicking bunnies.
