One hundred years ago today occurred a mystery. The sky over [[Tunguska_event|Tunguska, Siberia]] seemed to split and knocked over thousands of trees. Scientists have their theories (the best ones involve either an asteroid or a comet) but the case file remains open.

Democrats Have a Right to Be Proud

Posted on June 4, 2008 in Campaign 2008

square449Hillary Clinton is in her exit strategy now that Obama has cinched the nomination. I’m proud of the fact that my party, the Democrats, have fielded as their frontrunners an African American and a woman. In response, the Republicans have offered us another geriatric white man who sold his soul to Bush just so he could have the nomination. For the record, I supported the African American from the beginning. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at his success. Perhaps America isn’t the racist and sexist country that I dreaded it was.

It’s OK with me if Hillary does not release her delegates until they have voted at the convention. Her supporters have worked very hard and deserve to see the fruits of their efforts be recorded as history. I just ask that they support Obama as Lynn and I have been ready to support Hillary as the nominee. We have a lot of damage to undo. Hillary could help by becoming the Secretary of Education. That “no-child-left-behind-just ruined” policy ranks as one of the Bush Administration’s principle disasters. Clinton is the best person to fix that. I don’t want her wasted as Vice President.
