What are they putting in the water in those 10,000 lakes? That's just nuts. How can an idiot like Franken get elected? Geez. Every day it's something new that is just making me more and more depressed. There was one bright spot yesterday when a very lefty client wrote this in her blog on HuffPo. She was a hard core Obamaniac: Perhaps it is easy to get worked up about all this celebri-tainment. But, this fascination with other people’s train wrecks has got to stop distracting us from connecting to each other. Think about it people. If we “social network” with actual conversations and exchange ideas, perhaps we can create a government afraid of the people instead of the other way around. As we spiral into a third world country…how exactly do we tweet our way out of that?
