Spring and the Future

Is April the cruelest month, as the poet said? I doubt it when I look at the dogwoods, cherry trees, weeping cherries, daffodils, sweet williams and budding roses. Yes, despite Georgia's drought, much of nature is coming back and making us grateful for spring's rebirth. As I sit here swooning to the Love/Death music from Tristan and Isolde, I am almost able to forget the miserable way our beloved Democrat party is shooting itself in the foot once again. With so many able candidates and a lame GOP candidate, is it possible or even probable that we will lose again? Actually, I don't think so. But let us hope that Hilary, Obama, and the secret forces that run these things can get this mess behind us so we can unite and win back this country from the neo-cons, the right-wing nuts, the hawks, the contractors, the fundamental "Christianists" and all the other kooks that are tearing us apart. Yes, Spring is a time of rebirth and hope, but it also a time for work!
