the night is long tonight

the night is long tonight
yet is beautiful tonight
today smelled good
after the rain and
i learned a lot about
the press today
supposed liberal bastian
yet oddly seems to me
mostly mighty righties
with their blurred
transecting religion
and their stand on many
opnionated subjects that
strive to convert
and convince
my god is fair
my god is loving
s(he) would never
judge me unless
i decided myself
to blur the intersection
myself between god
and myself because
i know it is
not my job to
judge only gods
and not my place
in this universe
to name call
or point my
finger to
blame or name
the transgressor
and call myself
her (or his) follower
and so now
Our President is
african american
and his brilliant wife
is judged only
on which dress
she chose to
wear to her
husbands address
and her beautiful
girls sit smiling
by paradigm of
precious children
everywhere and
i do turn to
prayer yet
not know if
s(h)e is listening
now in this
beautiful clear
long night
which streaches
ahead of me
the night is long

tonight

Tomorrow I Wish I Was in DC

Today is for looking back,
Today is for learning from our past,
Today is for remembering MLK,
Today is for honoring fallen heroes.
Today is to sigh,let it go.

Tomorrow is for looking forward,
Tomorrow is for marking a day,
Tomorrow is for experiencing Barack Obama,
Tomorrow is for honoring our new President,
Tomorrow is a joy, let it show.

more on politics..election, opinions

Am i the only one?

Am i the only one who cares that Sarah Palin is so close to possibly being the president and can not handle a PRESS CONFERENCE ?
Now "Joe the Plumber" has had more press conferences then our VP candidate for the Republican party... And boy i bet now McCain wishes he had looked into joe the plumber a bit more before he redirected his campaign to make this "average American" the focus. he sounded pretty DUMB, his name is really Sam and I think he said he is not a plumber! ok I guess I should be happy because McCain must be in trouble if he makes this guy the center now of his media campaign. his more cogent statement was how he hated social security and he already has parents and does not need more parents telling him what to do (ie the government)

So why is it OK for Palin to say Obama is palling around with TERRORISTS? Ayers who is now a university president? he served on some kind of committee in Illinois to help advise what could be done for educational reforms in their state. there were Republicans on this board too, and Obama has mentioned, he was 8 years old when Ayers carried out a bombing which he served in jail for and in the years since, got a PhD and became a professor...ok a negative campaign sucks anyway, but to invoke the word "terrorist" in the same sentence as your opponent?
I am glad Obama does not rise to the occasion and get mad. i am a bit surprised that McCain looked so MEAN and angry in all those cut away shots during the debate. it was like he really had true disdain and had almost CONTEMPT for Obama . If a President can not control his temper or reign in his reactions i do not think i want him negotiating some kind of nuclear weapons showdown with Russia! Don't you need a good poker face as a President?
