I'm ready

For the at least the next four years, the United States will have a leader of this generation, rather than from the Fossil Posse.
As ready for change as 21 year olds in 1960 must have been, I spent my vote hoping to give the man the opportunity.
I'm trying to discount race in favor of hope. Simply, the belief that Brack Obama will outperform anything John McCain would have done, and most certainly what Sarah Palin would have fallen into.

The return of Bad Prose from Pros

Not having done one of these for a while - in fact not having done much of anything for a while - I 'm providing this quote as a public service.

The Tribune-Review provided this gem;

"The shooting happened in Delaware Township, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh where the girl remains hospitalized in critical condition."

Giving the Trib some credit, the story isn't bylined, so I suspect it's an AP rewrite. Still, someone should proof this stuff......
