"You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms." - Neal A. Maxwell
My old friend from high school has been blessed to adopt. It is good to see him progress to this next step in that "circle" people keep mentioning.... Congrats to John and Pam.... and Lauren Grace. As a lot of people who read this have found out, a lot of things change and only begin to make sense when you are blessed with another life to be truly responsible for.
Speaking of children... I think the choice of VP for McCain is a cagey and risky pick, but i certainly dont understand how the Democrats even remotely think they can talk about her experience when they have the candidate they do. It is extremely hypocritical and I dismiss anyone who thinks that somehow being a communtity organizer makes you more qualified to be President than her stints as a small town mayor and Governor for a year and a half. Heck, Obama has been running for President the entire time he's been Senator. So.... any argument against Palin in that regards is disregarded and seen as plain stupid by me. If you wanna disagree with her politics and policy, fine. and the people who are piling on her because of her daughter have no clue. No matter what you teach your kids and no matter how hard you try to guide them, they are going to make mistakes...and then make mistakes again. Even Obama himself has tried to remind his FANATICS (and thats what i will call these airheads who are blogging and saying this crap about her daughter) that his mother gave birth to him when she was 18. Now Barack Obama's birthday is August 4th. You do the math on that one and guess what age his mother was when she became pregnant with THE CHOSEN ONE. Dont hear people talking about that, do we? And we shouldnt. I agree that the children of these candidates really should be left out of this. While it is to be noted, it is a family matter that they will address. But this wont stop the Kool Aid drinkers from being shrill with their crap about Palin's daughter. What are they so afraid of?...worried that Obama's supposed easy walk aint going to be so easy anymore? While I am still sitting on the fence... crass and ignorant behavior from the far left whack jobs will keep pushing me to the right.
Now... Hurricane Hanna is looking like its going to give us a little rain toward the weekend. heh...and we need every bit we can get. i just wish we could get rain in a steady normal downpour instead of flash flooding.... but we gotta get what we can while the gettin's good, so they say.

MANY thanks for the kind words, Jerome -- they are deeply appreciated. Pam and I are looking forward to good times down the road making memories with you, Jessica, and a gaggle of all our kids!
The REALLY important words above said, a few words on the political aspect of your post... ignorant is not the word I would use for the liberal press attacks. Crass yes but ignorant no... they know what they are doing -- burying stories on Edwards for months, when finally printing them burying them in their newspaper A12 pages while still avoiding pushing for any paternity checks -- only to attack the CHILD of a conservative candidate on their front pages with multiple headlines. I too agree it speaks of deep insecurity and fears, but NOT ignorance... it's being done with purpose and knowledge. It will be very interesting to see whether the general population is so blind as to not see the press giving passes to past male liberal adulterers while heaping meanness against a mother's teen child. You know my liberal background from our teen/college years but it's this exact same mean spiritedness and hypocrisy that has turned me so far away from my roots... and I won't EVEN start on the disgust of the comments on Gustav being a gift from God... and per our talks, Jerome, how strong of leadership do you see Obama showing in controlling the meanness... I hear lip service but see no control leading me to think weak, weak, weak. Too bad, because in his first few days out of the gate, I saw promise in his speeches of change and was hopeful he might take the Democrat party in a positive direction. Was hoping for substance (think I even told you this shortly after he declared he was running) but I taste ONLY kool-aid now and it sure tastes of a bitter poison.
