Yes, we can.

Here's a sign of change, and I think Jon Stewart nailed it yesterday:

"...and so today on March 18, 2008, a Tuesday, a politician talked to Americans about race as if they were adults."

Who knows what actual talk rather than pretend outrage will accomplish.

On the other hand, it has been interesting because I've been very busy and haven't seen the speech. Only everybody's reaction to it and some clips on radio news and it has been a Rorschach test kind of thing. Most people are just finding in it what they were already looking for.

Bingo.

Thus my whole "bleh" feeling on this particular election... or perhaps it's a culmination of all the elections I've seen?

Bingo.

For the last eight years we've been talked to like we're little children. "Let Uncle Georgie hold your hand and tell you what we're going to do to the big, bad bullies. Don't worry your pretty little head about what's going on in that far away land. We'll take care of it our way. Have no concern about the skyrocketing gas prices, the housing market crash, the job loss or the economy. Uncle Georgie will take care of you. These civil liberties are over-rated. We're going to protect you by taking them away. And remember, it's rude to question the actions of your elders. So sit there quietly while we destroy this country."
