door knocking

October 13th, 2008

I went out in the neighborhood to knock some doors for Obama on Saturday. A supremely weird experience. Voting is a personal decision… or at least that’s what I’ve always been taught. So I felt like I was violating some part of my upbringing. On the other hand, I think that sharing my beliefs and [...]


Debate Thoughts

McCain moves around the carpet like a roomba.


fail

Just finished reading the revealing and disturbing Make-Believe Maverick.
I hope we [...]
