Tramp the Dirt Down

Margaret Thatcher is being praised by many today.

As for me, I'm with Declan McManus and George Galloway.

Are You Ready To Take Your Place

In the Modern Museum of Disgrace?

Monkey To Man

Consider this:
Last week, at end of the working day. Me-refilling my water bottle for the 1.5 mile walk home. In strolls one of the network dudes. I say something about the California primary energy really picking up. He says: "You must take all of that fairly seriously" I tell him that if seriously means that I am paying attention, then yes. Also that I had voted in every presidential election since 1976, when I voted for (guess who?)

I told him I hoped Hillary wouldn't win here. He said he thought she probably would. I say he shouldn't count Obama out yet. He looks mortified, and proclaims that he'd never vote for him, strictly because of his middle and last names.This isn't Oklahoma, mind you. It's Nor Cal. And this young man is a well-paid, college-educated, very savvy network guy. I was stunned. The walk home felt really good that day.

People sure do scare me sometimes. No wonder I hide away more and more.
Take it, Declan.
