With all the divisiveness that we've seen lately being spread around through lazy yet dangerous accusations of whom is "Pro-American" vs. whom is "Anti-American", I wanted to pass along this inspiring story from KING 5 TV in Seattle.

In the simplest terms, I found that it beautifully illustrates the potential we have when we choose hope over fear, and when we celebrate our diversity and differences as Americans, rather than attempting to divide or discriminate against one another.

The Set-Up:

The democratic process has helped a Seattle man discover a new talent -- button-making. Majid Al-Bahadli spent years as a prisoner in Iraq, but when he became a U.S. citizen, he got heavily involved in American politics.

Now, he's proving to have an uncanny knack for pushing all the right buttons for Barack Obama supprters.

Thanks to the good folks up North at Mudflats for posting this entertaining little exchange in the short diary Stapleton, This Town Ain’t Big Enough…, where the scene in Anchorage is humorously likened to an Old West showdown.

Most of the major political analysts seem to be really impressed that Palin was actually able to...

Just found an interesting, yet not surprising New York Times article on Howard Wolfson from 11/13/06.
