The Stakes

I’ve always liked Joe Biden, but the descriptive words that come to mind when I think of him are words like “decency” and “competence.” He’s an essentially understated man; unlike with Obama, the word “eloquence” is not the first word that comes to mind in connection with him.

His speech this week on democracy, however, was nothing if not eloquent– and heartfelt. It was also an accurate and important reminder of where we are right now in this experiment we call America.

I’m linking to the transcript of that speech, and begging you to click through read it. Completely.

Then vote BLUE NO MATTER WHO.

The Sour Truth

My two favorite columnists are Gail Collins and Leonard Pitts. They often say what I am thinking, but in a much more elegant and/or eloquent way.

This morning, I’m relinquishing this space to Pitts. Read him and weep.
