Articles

Warning: these are politically oriented articles, so if you are tired of all the politics, move along and don't read them. But I would recommend the first at least!

If you want to be inspired, read the one about Colin Powell (it's the NY Times one, and so may require that you sign up to read it, but it's free and totally worth it). His quotes are amazing and spot on and moving, especially the one about how whether Obama is or isn't Muslim shouldn't be the question, but the question should be why does it matter? In our country, we're theoretically taught tolerance and acceptance; in grade school we learn about the Statue of Liberty and the melting pot that is the USA and about the civil rights movement and all that. Yet somehow our country grows ever and ever more intolerant.

This article is a little (er, I mean, lot) less moving and just a bit humorous, and yes, I know it's a blog so not very reliable, but I laughed. If you are a fan of Palin and McCain, sorry, but I'm from Alaska and feel ok in poking some fun:
