like few of our generation. It is a JOY to listen to someone who can form complete coherent sentences, and do so with power and clarity. The chaotic verbal vomit we are currently forced to endure is an abomination and a crime against humanity.

Like James Talarico, running for the senate, in Texas.

President Obama (and, of course, Michelle) continue to bring light to us all in these very dark times.
