1. Yes! Kerry talked about this in his NAACP speech - which was fantastic

2. Yes it is

Do they want to come to the Oregon Coast and sit on my front porch? Huh, do they, do they???

3. Are you rich and influential?

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. That was my reaction to this: It would be nice if it would actually happen at a "normal" person's house.

4. Are you cynical and reactionary?

I've seen both of them at alot of "normal" people's houses. Teresa and Elizabeth too. Keep your cynicism, I'm sick of it.

5. Ah, that's not a porch--that's a veranda!

Do you suppose this could happen on someone's "front stoop" or back deck?

If they're flexible, I'm all for it! :toast:
