Enjoying "Life the way it should be" in Maine.

And trying to find a choice in the election that I can be at peace with.

I won't even consider voting for Bush unless he dumps Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz.

I'm reading everything remotely objective about Kerry and while I getting more comfortable with him personally, there are still elements in the Democratic party who feed and feed on hatred and resentment, and for me bring back very ugly memories. The contrast between the NAACP and the Urban League is as good an example as any. And of course there is some of that here on this board. I'm simply not going to let my remaining years get uglified by that stuff.

"Run the wives" was entirely serious, by the way.

There was a long article on Theresa Heinz Kerry several weeks ago (NYT? Atlantic? New Yorker?) which I found truly inspiring. She chose to make a real difference in the lives of ordinary people through her husband's charities, and rejected the ego and glamour of a Senate seat. And she's obviouslt got the guts to continue making those kinds of choices. Maybe I'll write her in, with Laura as VP.
