And she even told me how much she appreciates what I write and that she tells her friends all about her combative father and how he spends hours on a computer taking on the bad guys and fighting the good fight. She reminds me that my voice is speaking for her future. She reminds me why I worry about our future. I love our deep conversations, the loving insults that we lob at each other, and how easy it is to be myself around her.Īnd she reminds me why I have this little website. I tried to be the cool parent but her absolute candor when discussing ALL things sexual was almost more then even my ultra liberal brain could digest. She wanted to talk about movies (Another passion we both share). She wanted to talk about politics (She absolutely hates Hillary and loves Obama).

She came in like a mini tornado, all chock full of life and eclectic opinions. Every day that my daughter spent in her house my grandmother got that much more animated and energetic.Īnd now at twenty years old she has done it again.Īnd her visit certainly shook up my little routine as well. My daughter gave her a reason to live and made her feel needed. She got right up and helped straighten up the house, and then wanted to make my daughter lunch, and just brightened up like a flower blooming in response to the suns warming rays. The minute my little girl walked into her little dusty house you would have thought my grandmother had immediately lost twenty years off of her age. In those days my daughter stayed with me about three days each week. I went to stay with her to help her and to allow my financial situation to straighten itself out.
My grandmother was living alone and slowly slipping away. In my opinion my daughter's presence brought the old man around and reminded him that he was loved and not to give up. And my daughter brightened his world so much that he completely rallied and was able to leave the hospital yesterday.
My daughter discovered that was not precisely true. She came up here to see her grandfather for what she thought might be the last time. My daughter left to go home on Monday night. I just hope those voters in Indiana and North Carolina are smarter then the average American voter. Remember Obama's point about using good judgement? I think this is exactly what he is talking about.īoth McCain and Hillary do the politically expedient thing that will garner them support from the ignorant and illiterate of this country while Obama looks at the big picture and realizes it is an empty gesture. Good for Barack Obama for resisting this shameful pandering. The McCain-Clinton gas holiday proposal is a perfect example of what energy expert Peter Schwartz of Global Business Network describes as the true American energy policy today: “Maximize demand, minimize supply and buy the rest from the people who hate us the most.” Even if you could do that, what a terrible way to spend precious tax dollars - burning it up on the way to the beach rather than on innovation? No, no, no, we’ll just get the money by taxing Big Oil, says Mrs. When the summer is over, we will have increased our debt to China, increased our transfer of wealth to Saudi Arabia and increased our contribution to global warming for our kids to inherit. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks. Hillary Clinton has decided to line up with John McCain in pushing to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline, 18.4 cents a gallon, for this summer’s travel season. Unfortunately, the unifying idea is so ridiculous, so unworthy of the people aspiring to lead our nation, it takes your breath away. It is great to see that we finally have some national unity on energy policy.
Well columnist Thomas Friedman certainly does not.
