God damn, America!

by Ripley

I wouldn't make a habit of stepping into Thers' blog with my own rantings and personal fol de rol but this seems to be a special kind of weekend, so I hope you'll forgive me.  We've just ended a week so historic, so amazing and wonderful, that we should be sealing newspapers in plastic bags and guarding them like Comic Book Guy.  Jesus!  Are you feeling it? 

There's been some new 'news', today, that's grabbed some attention.  That's to be expected, but we can't lose sight of our goals or drop our Future on the floor when the Doorknobs That Be dangle something shiny in front of us.  This election, more than the talking heads could even imagine, means everything - Everything! - to us.  To us, the World, and the very concepts of Society and Civilization and Democracy! 

It's a holiday weekend but I hope you'll take a few minutes and listen, again, to the wisdom, opportunity  and challenges that Our leaders have laid out for us.  Be inspired, be uplifted, feel Hope - and do something good with it.  In no particular order:

Hillary Clinton

John Kerry

Bill Clinton

Joe Biden

Barack Obama

I remember a Tom Peters bit I read, years ago: 'Managers ask How? - Leaders ask Why?'   We have the brains, we have the will, we have the moral imperative - and we have the Leaders.  We all know the Why.  It's up to us to get them into office.

I was totally prepared getting Rickrolled.

Yes to all of the above.

I'll just make an observation for other Ancient Ones listening that, after more than a generation of less than hope and more than despair -- to feel even an echo of old dreams is a fine, good thing.

Nice post title - a clever Rev. Wright reference, I take it?
