For the first time in several years I have television. I'm watching a lot of interviews and quite a bit of the US Congress and US Senate.

I listened to Dennis Kucinich this morning- I had heard him only in snatches of time before and had thought him fairly lifeless in his speech. This morning I found him forthright and punching in his views.

Yesterday I was very taken by the views of Alcee Hastings, US Representative from Florida. Wow. I'm going to keep an eye out for him.
