It's so obvious it's almost mathematical. After eight years of Bush -- if Obama is elected, everything will be different. Instead of a President who shoots from the hip and trusts his untrustworthy gut, you'll have a President who gets educated, and chooses teachers who really know their stuff. That's the change Obama will bring to Washington. The rest of it, if you were thinking that all of a sudden one day Washington would work ...Shared by Adam (20) Alex (27) Aneel (33) bbebop (38) fmcpherson (10) Harper (112) John Magnus (14) Lons (4) Matt (18) Roger Williams (21) skabaru (26) Steve (24) subbu (43) Warner (49)- bbebop said: ...

- Barry Wynn said: Good blogs try. I’ve come to believe that creative life in the first-world comes down to those who try just a little bit harder. Then, there’s the other 98%. They’re still eating the free continental breakfast over at FriendFeed. A good blog is written by a blogger who thinks longer, works harder, and obsesses more. Ultimately, a good blogger tries. That’s why “good” is getting rare.
