Al's post supports the old adage: "Know thyself"--which BTW is very difficult.  However, I enjoyed Al's oracle du jour even more: "I speak, therefore I act is the great American illusion of politics."

It's these little tidbits that keep me heading to the Field, as my first read.  But not before I have my coffee and cigarette! Tomorrow afternoon, I will be working at an Obama table during a public festival in my city. (Yes, I need to get off my duff, too!) I will see how many people are concerned about FISA and report back. That is not to say I agree about the FISA vote, but Sen. Obama has to get elected first, before he can help fix the messes that have been made for many years. This will be a difficult election, just as they all are.
