I was happy to get that look at the heron. Last year, there were frequent Great Blue Herons in that particular spot and this year not so much so, so seeing them at any point is nice, but I have a particular affinity for that specific plumage of the Great Blues. It just has so many really amazing textures to it.

McCain can't last. He'll either have some medical issue or heart attack, something that takes him out. His campaign is going down the drain so fast his dizziness is getting hard to disguise or overlook. They'll have to nominate the next guy...Who? The Rep. party isn't acting at all interested in the contest. Only the MSM is at work trying to drum up some interest, but even they're getting called out on their stumping...to their embarrassment. It doesn't look like the plan to unveil Jeb Bush will wash, and its early for General Petraeus, though a quick change-up could bring him on. hmmmmm

(and I'm not being snarky about that, I really do), but I just don't see it. The Republicans are a top-down, lockstep organization. The idea that some "draft anyone" movement will spring up is just the antithesis of they way they think and work. The idea that they would let any group hijack their convention...same thing. They'd never allow that to happen.
Besides, what else do they have? This is Dole '96, throw the old guy whose career is over a bone in an election we don't think we can win, and save the guys who have a future for another day.

to go through high school during the golden age of hip hop (late 80's / early 90's) when the genre peaked with creativity before being corrupted by gangsterism and commercialism.
The soundtrack of my adolescence was that of Public Enemy, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Grandmaster Flash, Kool Moe D, Ice T, A Tribe Called Quest, Boogie Down Productions, X-Clan, and Eric B. & Rakim.
But it was more than just the music, it was the whole scene that including break dancing, graffiti and freestyle battling (spoken word).
That whole scene has helped shape my worldview today.
