I'm sitting in a coffeeshop blogging this from my phone. Reading the sunday paper. So many things to say and blog about today's news. There's a hippie white guy with long dreads rolled up in a bandana and a band and he's got a john kerry button on his tattered jean jacket. I can't help but think that 4 years ago he would've had a nader button on. And that makes me feel, and the news of today makes me feel, that we can really defeat bush this november. The left, and the democrats, and the progressives, and now even many in the middle are starting to band together in simple opposition to the destructive bush administration. And feeling this coalescence strengthens me and makes me smile.
