Update

I realize that I have been out of the loop since early December--due to illness, travel during the holidays, and then back to work on January 2nd. Since I am a retired legal secretary, I accepted a temporary position "down the road" with a law office and, between that, family, church and choir activities, I think I ran out of steam along the way! But, I believe I'll be back in the swing of things next week. (One can only hope!)

I have so much to write about and intend to get back into the swing again.

I was disturbed last night with Brian Williams' remarks on NBC News that Barack Obama's words weren't his own. Duh! Everyone seems to have missed the whole point. When attacked by Hillary that words wouldn't get the job done, he responded with (and I paraphrase here):

"Words don't matter? "I have a dream" doesn't matter; "All men are created equal..." And Brian Williams says, "but these are not his words." Well, saints preserve us! That was Obama's point--that some of the most eloquent speeches have words and phrases that stick with us for generations, as do the above. Give me a break. Focus on the issues and stop the bloody mudsligging.
