When Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were fighting it out during the primary season, I saw a lot of people write and talk about the Clinton "machine", and about Barack Obama's grassroots "movement".

It just occurred to me tonight for the first time, that Barack and his Movement for Change not only beat the Clinton Machine, but the Republican one as well.

I mean, c'mon.  We all know we're winning this tomorrow.  Don't we?

We all know that machines are big, complex and scary things.  They are established and hard to knock down.  But without movement, machines don't work. 

And when a barely moving machine comes up against a MOVEMENT like an earthquake or tornado, sometimes machines get lifted up and blown away.  Other times, they just get broken or smashed up.

All the while, the movement continues moving on...and on.

Note:  This is my first attempt at physics.  Please don't prove this novice wrong, eh?

Goodbye Johhny Mac
Guess I never knew you at all
You had the nerve to change yourself
While those around you brawled
They brawled over your party
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on to Palin
And they made you change your game

And it seems to me you lived a lie
Like a maverick in the wind
Never knowing what to cling to
When the truth set in
And I would have liked to have seen you
win back in two-thousand
The maverick burned out long before
the election ever did
