President Obama ...

Although widely debated throughout the media ~ I must say that when I heard that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize, my heart just swelled with happiness, inspiration and joy.

Bravo, Senator Specter!

So thrilled to hear Senator Arlen Specter has come back to the Democratic Party. I'm sure it was not an easy decision.

Where is the love...?

There is an unscientific poll going on over at MSNBC.com - asking people to "Give President Obama a Grade". Apparently, a bunch of conservative bloggers have been encouraging their readers to vote and give a failing grade. For the record, I gave him an A.

On a side note, I recently found this variation of Rosie the Riveter on Etsy.

I've also been coveting this simple necklace that says it all, also found on Etsy.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown ... Wow!

I'm currently watching MSNBC's coverage of Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown - he is a fantastic speaker. I liked Tony Blair immensely - now it appears I am also a fan of the honorable P.M. Brown. (I'd give you a link to his rousing, inspirational speech, but he's still delivering it...)

Oh happy day...

Happy America!!

Keith Olbermann on California's Proposition 8

This is so beautifully said.


Thank you, Keith Olbermann (and MSNBC), for stating this so eloquently and thoughtfully.
