As long as I've been alive this has been the climate of American politics; the politics of personal destruction. It's been the fog that masks the true dysfunctions and complications of government ever since Richard Nixon and Watergate. And even though I'm sure a hint of this has always permeated political chatter, and politicians have never been saints, the only function of these sagas is to distract the electorate from the true issues.

I hope we can someday move beyond this type of political discourse, but with cats like Andrew Breitbart around, I'm highly pessimistic.

Good luck, Anthony.

peace.

Dear Missouri...

I don't feel I'll be able to add any more insight to the current effects of the tornado that ravaged Joplin, Kansas this week. Instead, I will do my part by posting some of the more unbelievable and devastating photos I've seen circulating around the internet. I hope something you see will move you to give these people you best hopes and wishes. They surely need it.









My thoughts are with them and all the folks in Kansas and Oklahoma. They are having a trying time.



peace.
