Don't Buy Into The Hype!

No long post for today (yesterday, whatever), because I was out buying expensive yarn -- err.. helping the economy all day. Don't worry, GW! I've got your back!

Now it's almost 3am, and I'm still giddy and high on yarn fumes. So I've been reading a bit to calm myself down and get some ideas for later. While clicking around, I stumbled on the following article in Daily Kos.

Normally, I'd rather not link to blogs, the same way that I would hesitate to link to editorials or blatantly partisan newspapers. I don't like to lean on people for facts when it's in their every interest to advance their own opinion. However, I really liked the way that this article broke down differences between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

She takes the tack that a lot of people have used in the past -- she looks at their senate records. But instead of looking at their voting records, which she acknowledges can be misleading in terms of what's really important to them, she looks at the bills that they sponsor and co-sponsor.

I urge you to take a look. The writing is clear, and the subject is interesting.

Don't buy into the hype!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go fondle some silk.
