common purpose, shared citizenship ? wow, this guy has been in a cave since 2000 ! I am soooo ready to give W. and his cronies the heave ho I can taste it. As usual the GOP wrecks it and the Dems are given the task of fixing it. We can't do any worse than we've been doing at least. I am intrigued by your Irish trips. I made one with my sibs and mom 3 years ago but it was a senior trip for her 80th birthday and I would love to go back with my own family. Happy New Year.

I know what you mean. After nearly 20 years of the Gingrich who stole Christmas, it was actually amazing to hear the president-elect speak in these terms. It's something out of Franklin Roosevelt's Fireside Chats: "I do have faith, and retain faith, in the strength of common purpose, and in the strength of unified action taken by the American people." (7/24/33)

As for the Auld Sod, ye'll have ta' go back then, won't ye!
