The end of the world sux...


OK: I've kind of lost interest in the end of the world... We bought some of the Green grocery bags and I'm now more religiously throwing my plastic stuff in the recycle bin, so I'm convinced the tide has now turned. Heck, I even remembered to bring the green bags to the store once!

I've decided to focus on something more upbeat: Politics. I recently completed the new Obama book "From Promise to Power" by David Mendell. David has followed Obama from the beginning of his Illinois career. It's quite an interesting book and I walked away with a much better opinion of him. Prior to the book, I considered him a hard core flaming liberal who happened to be very intelligent (other than the flaw of being a hard core flaming liberal) and most importantly, just SPANKED Hillary in the debate I managed to watch. The guy is very smooth and quick on his toes. Now I've modified my position. He is a hard core flaming liberal with a pragmatic side. I honestly think he will moderate his positions when the hard cold facts of reality hit him on the head.

Anyway, nice read and I recommend it! Check it out here for a summary:
