A wild and wooly Woodstock weekend






I should have been a hippie. Peace out.

Is it my imagination?


Or is McCain less than inspiring? I'm listening to and watching his speech and thinking that he seems like a carefully modulated automaton delivering memorized lines and many redundancies: "I will fix problems that need to be fixed" instead of simply "I will fix problems."

I don't understand why this would even be a contest? Truly: a contest between good and evil, as primal as muslim fundamentalism in its way.

Ciao, belli--
Isn't my nephew Jordan so handsome? He's my little heartbreaker!

A political rant


It's impossible for me to watch the Republican National Convention without screaming and cursing at the television set. They are ignorant, name-calling, fright-mongering closed minded, selfish rabble rousers, appealing to the worst in human nature: greed, prejudice and fear. I just heard Mitt Romney speak. He sneeringly said the L word (for liberal) throughout the speech, making it an us versus them argument as opposed to one based on what the world needs now.
Grrr.
Ciao--buona notte amici...
Paola

P.S. I posted this decidedly unflattering photo of myself because my expression rather accurately reflects my irritated frame of mind at the moment. Blame the Republicans! Grrr, again.
