Tuesday Poem–Robert Frost: Dust Of Snow

Filed under: Poetry — chr1 @ 1:22 pm

Dust Of Snow

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

Reverend Wright’s Extreme Views: Not A Friend To Politics Or Obama?

Filed under: Current Events, Media, Politics, Public Debate — chr1 @ 11:15 am

A cynic might say:  In the big picture, decades of excessively pursuing equality and social justice have succeeded in creating more chairs at the table, but neglected the table itself.

The relative weakness of current liberalism and the democratic party allow this kind of anger and extremism into the light.  

Maybe it’s just a bump in the road as Andrew Sullivan suggests:

“Obama’s vision is a great one for his party and his country. He mustn’t be sacrificed to the wolves of the past.”

Maybe it’s not that big of a deal?
