Someone must have really had it out for former Clinton cabinet member Mickey Kantor. In a youtube.com piece, he was set up to look like a racist. It was appalling and very low. Anyone who has known Mickey over the years knows of his passionate commitment and work for civil rights. How low will some people go to smear others?

Rumor has it that my good friends James Johnson and Greg Craig are heading the Vice Presidential search for Senator Obama. I can't think of two finer human beings to head that effort. My guess is that soon everyone that the two of them visit will be considered a possible Vice President for Obama. I have asked them to come to Turkey Hollow so my rumors could start but haven't heard back!

We have had over 700 tornados this year and we are just entering our biggest tornado months of May and June. There is a fascinating web site to follow this year's record outburst. The interactive site on weatherunderground.com keeps you abreast of daily tornados and even has a section for historical ones.

Former Peace Corps head Sam Brown and Alison Teal have hit the road for one more election. Many of us remember their impressive work on behalf of lower tier Congressional candidates in the last elections.

Speaking of the good ole Senator from Arizona, have you seen this youtube.com spot of his best buddy the Reverend John Haggee from Texas? Seems the good mega-church pastor made comparisons of Catholics to Hitler's work. Now there is a stretch for you. Of course, I am sure the press will spend days discussing this news. Right?
