I guess I hit a nerve


I may take a break from my political blogging, to let the dust settle from the uproar that my blog, from yesterday caused. As I arrived at Bucksnort Central headquarters in Washington ,tonight, I found the swichboard operators, overwhelmed by angry calls, from incesned Ohioan voters, who took offense at me calling attention to the states scandal from the 2004 election. It is conserning to think that this state could once again be where this election is ultimately deceided . A call from one particulary irrate ,obviously radical group, leader ,was extremely frightening. The threatening tone of his rant ,splitting hairs over the issue was alarming, Authorities are monitering the situation closely. He said he had spent the previous day in a hospital,with little attention -presumably seeking help ,for his manic mental condition. I can only feel sorry for him, as did others ,from his own admission. Apparently they calmed him with music,and released him , back on the streets ,in temporary, limited care of his familly . Another glaring example of the revolving door policies of our failing heath care system. Anyway in surprise news to some , Mitt Rommney threw in the towel , leaving Sen. McCain to inevitably recieve the nomination of the fractured Republican party. With conservative talking heads Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter ,Laura Ingram, and others denouncing McCain even favoring their favorite punching bag Hillary Clinton, the party looks confused and in danger of collapse .The nominee for the Democrats may be long in coming ,with a possible joining of forces coming from the contenders. Their bizzare methoud of picking a nominee draws more attention to the gathering angst over the need for electoral reform. If their use of super delagates infflueces the election, public distrust of the process could widden and the potential for trouble ,greaten. My last note on politics for a while is a quote from the guy on the greenback -----"If we mean to support the liberty and independance which have cost us so much blood and treasure to eastablish, we must drive away the demon of party spirit and local reproach" --- George Washington . Maybe the talking heads read his quote , I dought it. Me thinks they have their own personal motives . The picture is of south-side tree moss -Im messing with macro

Well, you are certainly ruffling some feathers! I'm enjoying your views - good guess about Rommney! Also, just as an aside, there is a spell-checker.

And, great photo - I just love macro. Keep it up!
