A Message of Hope


Things will be different this time.
This year the candidate of hope, when elected will really do the things he promised.

Things will be different this time.
This year Lucy will not pull the football away from Charlie Brown at the last second.

And the Cubs will win the World Series.


I have realized from looking at the Rove polling maps, that while the outcome of the election in the United States is uncertain, the outcome in California is not. Since May the Golden State has varied between 12% and 21% blue. Casting a vote in an election with a foregone result is a waste of time.

My national service will be to pick up litter in a national park on election day instead. Also an excuse to have dinner in the magnificent Ahwanee Hotel dining room in early November, after the summer tourists have left but before the skiers have arrived. Patriotism doesn't get any better.
