(Community Matters) David Corn on “Can Obama Fight?” in Mother Jones:

If he wants voters to believe he’s a fighter, Obama needs to show them, not tell, them.

Proclaiming “I am a fighter” will not be enough. He will have to name his foes (financial institutions, insurance companies, Republicans, and perhaps recalcitrant Democrats) and truly exchange blows.

I agree with my friend David. While Pres O prioritizes changing the tone and ways of Washington, perception is reality. The American people want to see someone *fighting* for them, not just hearing that we’re doing so. Let’s open some cans of whoop ass on behalf of America’s middle class.

(Community Matters) if you count, Steven, it’d be 4 priests.  No, he’s not a priest but he preaches and he led his church during graduate school

Ed & Karen Hartwell, Amy Donohue-Adams, Bill Adams and Steven

The six of us have a long history of meals together.  Amy & Bill suprised me by celebrating my upcoming birthday as well as Karen’s which just passed.  Ed, Amy & Bill are Episcopal priests.  Amy & Karen were formerly nuns.
