An angel in the Republican Party?

Sure. She’s running in the New Hampshire 2nd congressional district primary on September 2.

I wish her well.

Hat-tip to Holden.

Update: Oh blech.

Celebrating the President’s Birthday (July 8th, 2006)

Sorry, I did not realize til I saw it in yesterday’s paper that, the day before that, President Bush had a major birthday. Why wasn’t there more celebration? A nation needs to be a big family, or at least a big tribe. And we Americans are quite capable, though we be of mixed stock, of considering ourselves a family. We have enough in common – the language, the history, the ocean-to-ocean territory, and many a shared memory. The president is the father figure.

I am not kidding. I think it is very unfortunate that the security of having a national parent has been pulled away from us over the years. We deserve one! Right now people say George Bush is unpopular. The source for that is the polls – but can you believe polls? Can anyone believe anything one reads?

I really believe she’s serious.
