Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Political QQQ

One of these days, Romney is going to say something like “Obama just doesn’t understand how the real economy works, partly because he’s never had a job.” And the New York Times will run a front page story, quoting Al Sharpton and a bevy of psychologists, about how that is racist code. Make book on it.

Of course the fact that you are racist will be used by Obobu . But after that ... can we ask if Obama has a clue?

Off Topic...

And only an excerpt. But a great story of the innate and very human desire for freedom, no matter the hardship.

At times, nowadays, I'm bereft of hope. Then I run across something like this, and become momentarily enthused that we might make it yet.

"Racist code" is racist code for "non-liberal white person."
