I usually attribute that citation to Dan Rather, as in the Dan Rather duck test.

Did you read/listen to Obama's MLK day speech? It is awesome.

You can judge for yourself.

I just hope he can pull it off.

and that duck will never find Legacy Lake, which is what he is flailing about for.

jack,
yeah, i caught that speech. i've heard others of obama's that were more... rigorous. his words are good in this one, but his cadence is slow. i do like obama - but i am an edwards girl. will vote for him on super-duper tuesday even though he is out of the race now. but he still has a roll to play i think - not kingmaker, but definately he can be an influence at the convention.

cj - should we right in the original ducks on our ballots? they might be just as good as anyone else, eh?

bogsie baby - so glad to see ya!

namechanged - regrettably, the duck will indeed make it to legacy lake - unfortunately - his legacy is killing us U.S., literally.

But 363 days to go!

Hi Bird--love your pictures!
Great to see your happy smiling face...
(The dogs are cute, too)
Happy New Year!

By the way, can anyone tell me why no-one seems to be voting for Kucinich even though his positions are closest to what the country wants? Just asking...

firebird:
kucinich is too upfront, too honorable, too smart, too funny, too engaged, too effective where he is to win the nomination.

the irony almost kills me.

thursday next: given edwards poor showing in SC and obama's upset, i'm now rethinking my strategy - i am no longer sure for whom to vote on super-duper tuesday. i am not convinced yet that obama can beat the repubs (and i think hilary has a shot at that)... if obama gets the nomination - you can bet the uglies will come out in full force with hogwash - racist crap - no doubt, but also, they'll nail him to the cross with a false muslim connection - or rather, an exaggerated muslim connection. sigh.

polly - i am counting the days til shrub is gone. even purchased a bush-out-of-office countdown calendar!
