Quips, queries, and querulous quibbles from the quirky mind of Don Kahle

Why do people say 'after dark' when what they mean is 'during dark'? After dark would be when it's light again, right? * There are 10 types of people in this world -- those who read binary, and those who don't. * I'm rethinking the whole brown rice thing. What if it's just more white liberal self-hatred? Whole wheat, honey, unbleached flour. All better. Sez who? * Eugene should be HQ for White People for Diversity. We'll fight for diversity to be included in books, which is where we know to look for it. * Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a pillow, and he'll dream of steak. * What can you say about a state that puts the town of North Bend 225 miles southwest of Bend? We rely on visitors for entertainment.

Combining two earlier ideas into one, I want to explore what Obama brings to the national conversaion and what could prevent that conversation from continuing past the spring. It’s not race and that’s important. It’s age. And they are connected. Because “he wasn’t there” for the civil rights struggle (or the similar struggle for women’s rights), he can talk about them without the angst that warriors often bring. That separation doesn’t decrease his credibility. It increases his clarity.
