Dunno about that one. We haven’t taken it in hand yet.

We’re all Americans who have shared values, dreams, and goals." Not so. This country is as fractured as anything I've ever encountered. It resembles a saltine cracker after it's been hit with a mallet. (not unlike the foundation of my house ha ha). If anything, I've come to recognize, particularly in the aftermath of Katrina/Rita and the gov't's inability to deal with those disasters, that the very fact of the gov't's failure is the proof of the fracturing in this society. Much more stress on this system and we'll truly come to see that while a house divided can not stand, a house fractured goes down with only the hint of a whisper.

There really are some folks out there (and unfortunately, “out there” is really “right here”) who prove the point of the 60 Minutes interviewer’s question.

Thanks for putting it here. That is, in fact, another awesome piece of this dialogue. What she's writing about isn't a rogue opinion; the issue is astoundingly complex... and people are <em>talking </em>about it! It's great! Debra Dickerson's view, though, really does require a full post. I have a lot of thoughts about it. Ashley –

Ive read a number of exerpts from his new book and it sounded incredily genuine. And trust me Im no touchy feely type. Its been a number of years since I voted for a Democrat. This is going to be an interesting race. But if he teams up with Hillary as a VP candidate then all bets are off.
