it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way ...
these are the best of times and the worst of times. dc is politics and politics are dc. and while politics are exciting, it's insane that we are forced to watch and re watch campaign ad after campaign ad even though there's more of a chance that the nationals will win this year's national league pennant than the voters of this area electing anyone but a democrat. sure you would expect that npr would offer political commentary, but it's not something you would necessarily expect between the latest offerings from the jonas brothers and taylor swift. that's dc reality.
foolishness and wisdom abound. foolishness rules the day - has anyone else noticed that sarah palin is getting a pass or that the royal they are attempting to trick women into believing that palin is an acceptable substitute for hillary clinton? i've heard little wisdom. until today ...
