T’ rock the boat
Rock the boat!

On my flight around the internets today I was overwhelmed by a recognition in so many others of the same anxious hope that’s in my heart. Here are some of the things that inspired me, the kind of things that gave me the notion - snapshots to share while we wait. And wait. And wait.

...So I walk out the school and I see more people showing up to vote. No Lieberman visibility to be seen and plenty of love for Lamont. I talked to a Lamont volunteer who's a lawyer and is in the National Guard. He's the guy who soldiers go towards when they need information on wills before taking off to Iraq. I'm not going to get into what he said because it's too damn depressing but in the end, he said "what in the hell are we doing over there" and he's pissed that Joe Lieberman refuses to hold the President accountable for anything including this God-awful war which is costing us lives.

Hartford Courant staff writer, Rinker Buck:

"The significance of this election is that the public told the political professionals how this was going to play out. None of the pundits and none of the media people got it right. It was the public that had a groundswell movement basically against Lieberman."

Reason joezillian and sixty-two; a mind jogger from Gilliard-

First: he has ignored the people of his state. They can't get help from him when they need it. When a National Guard unit needs rifles and Lieberman's office gives men who strap 70 pounds of gear on their back a lecture on the M-16 over the M-4, they need to lose their job. His job was to help those boys get what they thought was needed, not tell them they were wrong.

Sirota suggests that it’ll be champaign or Xanax inside the Beltway tonight -or maybe Immodium!

I enjoyed learning that Ned went back to get his burger at Ted’s.


Partly cloudy, temps in the mid 80's, so it's a beautiful day to vote. Polls close at 8pm est.

I can't remember when I had this much fun. :patriot:
