Maybe this is crazy but I feel that we are on the cusp of some kind of wonderful. Call me the perennial optimist but I believe the struggles that America is facing are just the precursor to a greater shift in consciousness. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired. We want more meaning from life, not more things.
So it may be that we are still inundated with the same negative campaign advertisements, same negative discourse amongst pundits or negativity in our own backyards but we cannot deny the fact that there has been an influx of hope into our psyche. We will still have our own opinion about the current political climate, but we are changed because the general conversation has changed. (more…)

An Open Letter to God,
It’s precisely 10:24 pm on a Wednesday evening and I am pilfering through today’s top news stories which include:
- Palin and her $150k new wardrobe.
- Battle of the Robo-calls.
- Most Californians oppose Gay marriage.
I’ve got to tell you that this election cycle is killing me. Literally, it’s killing me. Every time I hear that the polls are “within a margin of error” I want to eat 5 Big Macs so I can die sooner and be put out of my misery. Really. Some of my fellow Americans are threatening to leave Earth if a certain someone get’s elected. Leave Earth … can we do that? Where do I reserve my seat? Should I pack for hot or cold weather?
God, there really aren’t enough antacids to help me through the next two weeks. I can’t take another article about Sarah Palin’s red shoes or how her flag pin is as large as a child’s fist. Can’t you do something about this? And please, with all due respect, I don’t need something like an economic crisis or a Madonna and Guy Ritchie divorce to get my mind off of the election. Forget that. I know you think you’re doing us a favor by creating a diversion but what we really need is to stop feeling like we are on the verge of throwing up every time a new poll comes out.
