I’ve noticed a lot of Obama endorsements in the UU blogosphere these past few days. Why so many?
Because Obama speaks our language: aspirational humanism. We believe that words of hope change things; similar words are spoken from UU pulpits each Sunday.
But it’s more than his rhetoric. It’s his argument that the rhetoric of hope gets more done than self-righteous ideologuery or cynical wedge issue triangulation. UUs believe that and live it every day. Voting for Obama is a no brainer.
The wife and I went to vote early yesterday, thinking it would take us less time than if we waited until Tuesday.
Oops. We got there to find the line to get in line coming out the door into the parking lot. The line itself had to have snaked at least a good city block through the building.
Pretty sweet. Be sure to leave some extra time on Tuesday if you’re in a Super Tuesday state. (More photos here.)
By now you probably know I dropped out of the race. You won’t have this coal miner’s daughter to kick around anymore.
I hope you’re happy,
John Edwards

Light therapy kicks ass!
My lightbox came in yesterday, and I managed to flip it on this morning when the alarm went off the first time. Feel alert and energetic, even a little silly. Woot!
