I LOVED the speech by Sandra Fluke as well and viewing the audience, engaged and diverse- I even saw a half burka! The juxtaposition of GOP and Dems- was like concrete by a rich, colourful mosaic. No contest really...just idiocy- and that is so sad.<br />Great street art- amazing!

Did watch Clinton though. The man is a master. And watched Obama last night. He was really good as well. One of the things I noticed about his speech was that he used the pronouns he and she, him and her interchangeably. in other words, all his references to the people were not masculine pronouns, they were just as often feminine pronouns as related to all aspects of life and business including using 'she' when he was talking about the opportunity and possibility of a child becoming president in this country. It was so refreshing after a lifetime of hearing men and women give speeches where the pronouns are always male.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-71091394920207283332012-09-07T13:03:18.704+01:002012-09-07T13:03:18.704+01:00It seems so obvious to me which candidates are spe...It seems so obvious to me which candidates are speaking from the heart and which are speaking from the, uh, what?
