Fantastic, Robyn! Well done. Great seeing your name in print. Yes I admit, I like it. Everyone does, if they're honest. Interesting article and the comments are in line.

I see Palin has been found guilty of abuse of power. Hmm. How is her image now?

Woohoo! That's a great piece, Robyn.
I would have been worried about publishing that in Small Town America but I must say your commenters have restored my faith in Americans.
Wonderful stuff!

Hear, hear!! Well said Robyn. You are so right. I've seen my fair share of ordinary politicians and neither your country nor mine need any more of those. I've seen a few extraordinary ones too; thank goodness some of those still run for office.

A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want. This is the photograph I had in mind while I read Clemens' dictations. He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
