Browsing the HuffingtonPost early this morning I came across a headline that said "Blog Reader: My Encounter Yesterday With Sarah Palin"

http://www.americablog.com/...

In it is detailed an encounter with the Presidential and Vice Presidential duo of ~~Bush/Cheney~~ I mean McCain/Palin at a New Mexico restaurant where an average citizen asked really hard hitting questions, so hard that the duo could not answer them.

I've long admired Bill Moyers' style, from the PBS special and book The Secret Government to The Power of Myth. I even got to meet him once when he was promoting Healing and the Mind. I found him to be a thoughtful and intelligent gentleman. Watching him just gently bring down that ambushing producer from O'Reilly was pure gold.

I'm enjoying his new book, Moyers on Democracy for it's eloquence and relevance to our current state of affairs. There is a chapter contained within it called "The Fight for Public Broadcasting" It's one of the longer chapters in the book but within it, he addresses the non-issue that has become an issue in this Presidential campaign, and makes it a issue again - the infamous flag pin.

It is with out any doubt to me that Hillary Clinton saw the light by giving a barn burning speech that tied in the accomplishments that she and her supporters did into keeping the faith and fire going by supporting Barack Obama.

There were of course a few people angry that believe their icon was forced into making this speech and that they will refuse to vote for Barack Obama. This was to be expected, and even though Clinton gave a gracious and inspiring speech, it is just the beginning of a long road towards reconciliation and unification.

And of course being the pop culture whore that I am, I could not help but think of the song, "Where do we go From Here?" from the Buffy episode "Once More With Feeling."
