on Hoarders

I agree with this speaker now. I believe loss/grief must be at the core of this.

My parents house is a mess. I often wonder which came first the parents no one wants to visit or the mess of a house that makes visiting impossible.

on Is Obama-Mania Over?

Is the honeymoon over? No, absolutely not. I am exceedingly grateful to the President for presenting his thinking to us directly. Even the NPR coverage this morning is not accurate--the President's thought is not to tax people making over 1 million dollars. It is an idea out there in the Senate finance committee but it not the idea he cited as his.

Also, about Cambridge police story--because the reporting on NPR omitted his first comments on the story-- the reporting gives the impression that his remarks were more inflamatory than they actually were.

In an era when news reporting has become the quick sound bite, it is incrediably important to be able to hear from the President himself, without editing. And isn't wonderful to listen to an articulate, intelligent President?
