You've found me, the mom of two small children. A few years ago, I figured out, this late in life, that I am Queer. I am looking to the future with hope and promise. Soon to be divorced, and living on my own with my kids. Life on my own terms at last!
I've seen a lot of those clips before, juxtaposed in similar manners. Very effective...very interesting. What got me (choke) was Tim Russert, of all things...
It is hard to keep my mind on a lot of other things as well. I have to be very careful in my job not to alienate anyone; I have equal pictures of democrats and republicans that I use and try to encourage being open and talk about both. I have always considered it a huge personal challenge to keep my personal opinions and politics out of my teaching, and to not allow that to bias my grading when I taught at the uni. Tough stuff.
Yeah, Tim Russert got to me as well. I don't envy you the task of keeping politics out of work, but we'll see how well I do at it. So far, I've kept my mouth shut, since I pretty much know where everyone stands but me, and it seems pointless to get into conflicts at work over it. We'll see what happens when I wear my Obama sweatshirt into work.

Thanks, OC. Be well!
