The first and most satisfying reason for smiling today was this nest I found recently in an old tool belt of mine hanging in my shop containing four baby Carolina Wrens eagerly awaiting to be fed. I thought that I had been hearing faint noises of their presence for a couple of days before I found them. I think I would buy a brand new belt before I would disturb this one. I am enjoying watching them grow. I think Thoreau would have as well.The second reason I found to smile today really is not smiling at all but another way of expressing my awe at the cerebral activity (or lack thereof) of our political and media icons. I want to thank swiftspeech.blogspot.com for posting this insane conversation.
So, before you read this, remember that here we have O'Reilly (who joins Dubya, Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity as the loudest of the "endless war" supporters, all of which have never served in a war themselves) interviewing a man who spent time in a Vietnamese prison camp where he endured torture for a few years and has, I would assume, physically and emotionally felt the real horrors of war. Now McCain is backing a man that is wanting an economy based on war. How ironic can you get? It appears that he has been kicked in the head one too many times.
What does that say about McCain's thinking?!?
If this wasn't so damn insane, it would make for a comical skit.

Think Progress:
I think I will spend the rest of the day watching those baby birds screaming for their mama and daddy to feed them. On second thought, if I do that it will remind me of how the masses are screaming for government to step in and be much more to us than they need to be or were ever designed to be. And they are laughing their ass off at us because they know they are getting us right where they want us.
I don't feel like smiling any more.

O’REILLY: Did you vote for President Bush?MCCAIN: Of course not. I campaigned all over this country for him.
O’REILLY: So you voted for President Bush.
MCCAIN: Of course. I mean, that’s a ridiculous question.
