Small Town Politics

-
McCain picks country girl Palin as his running mate -- and the snooty city pundits mock her experience as a "small town mayor."

Seems to me, if she can successfully navigate the curious politics that happen in a small community, she certainly can handle the big city stuff.

(Note -- this is not an endorsement -- just an obervation about small town politics.)

    I can definitely relate to small-town politics and they are nothing like big city politics. I'm sure living in Hayward, you are quite familiar with small town politics. It's magnified here with because we have several cable access channels and local versions of CNN. Everything gets analyzed and re-analyzed. I'm not so sure I would want to be a local politician here. They've got it rough.

    By the way, I like your observation!

    Dale,
    I can definitely relate to church politics. They are the most vicious.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
