Obama & McCain Come to Town


I like to begin Saturday mornings at Cook's Corner, the rustic hangout that caters to motorcycle enthusiasts, where I order an omelet and either a cup of joe or a pitcher of Bud Light.

Weaving home yesterday I noticed protesters gathering around the spritual Costco known as Saddleback Church.  Senators Obama and McCain were due to arrive in the late afternoon for a meet and greet with God.  Despite my groundbreaking work for ObamaFest.com, I was unable to get tickets. 

So I took a nap.  Later, I donned running shoes, grabbed my Flip camera and jogged by the church.  I wanted to feel the pulse of the people.  I found it to be rapid and irregular. 



I know, much like my life, this video starts off promising but peters out in a sea of sun splashed suburban ennui.

Epiphany - Elections are important but not that important.  They're a handy diversion for people who are afraid to look inward.  Those folks need to put down the pickets for a spell and work on improving their souls.  That would be change we can believe in.
