Tim Brokaw is a Republican which he himself revealed yesterday by accident on air. I heard it with my own ears. Nothing is wrong with that but he's biased against Obama. There in lies the problem. Yesterday Brokaw said when "we" get to our covention next week Repubs will need to do blah. He quickly corrected himself to say "they". I'm surprised no one mentioned this before.Just as on CNN John King mentioned when "he" votes for Obama and switched to "people" of course I was all smiles with that.We really need MSM to come out with a liberal network. I was like a teen when Clinton was in office but how was the media then? How could it be conservative with a liberal President. I wasn't born when Carter was elected but why did he lose so bad?Its like Dems hardly ever get in office..

...and I guess I better get used to it. Everything dies. Guess that's why folks need to believe in rebirth (change) to avoid eveything being so final.
I just wish it wasn't always the people and animals I love that I have to watch "change." (die).
I wasn't able to catch my duck and now it's dark and the animal hosp is closed so she's doomed. I just hope I can find her body tomorrow so I can bury her with her daughter that my neighbor's dogs killed.

Was going to embroider my own Obama/Biden shirt and go to the Watch Party in my neighborhood but I just don't feel like it now because I know she's out there somewhere dying and I'm helpless to do anything about it.
