Just the Night for a Conquering Tribe













Tonight, the better angel of my nature draws from FDR:

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."  (Second Inaugural Address, January 20, 1937)

My more primal side, infused with Voltaire's wry joie de vivre, draws from Gore Vidal:

"At any given moment, public opinion is a chaos of superstition, misinformation, and prejudice."  (1965)  And:

"It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail."  (1976)

Tonight, I rejoice in the victory of the Blue Tribe. Yes, we did.

I don't know what's more fun-- that we won or that the Tea-Baggers, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and all the others are apoplectic.

Hi Everyone!

I've been trying to figure out a place to start with the acai free trial and was just wondering if anybody had some opinions on whether or not the stuff works for dieting? So far here is the 1 [url=http://acaiberries.zoomblog.com/]article[/url] I have been able to check out that seemed realistic for what my goals are. Opinions?
