Well, the Democratc Nominee just produced a lovely warm egg for me this morning. She's as modest as ever, and you would never know she just accepted the nomination for the Presidency!
Thanks, all, and still wondering what various peeps thought of the speech last night?
best.

I thought it was intelligent, compassionate, and very "in touch." I don't know where the critics get the "elitist" or "celebrity" stuff from...this guy knows what it's like because he's lived it, and his speech made this blatantly obvious.
In his speech, Brarawck O'Brahma also laid out his plans specifically for making the wonderful land of Ameraucana better for every chicken and human alike. Sure, he's a great speaker and writer, but so were JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr. Just because one can speak well doesn't mean one is all hot air. (As an English teacher, I'm offended by the idea that, if someone can write or speak well, that means they have nothing to say. Huh?!) His ideas were clear and make sense for the 21st century. He definitely had his "hackles up" in "McCrane"'s direction; there's going to be a ruckus in the henhouse during the debates, that's for sure. There should be no doubt that he can be tough when the time is right.
Brawack was a class act. He didn't stoop to personal attacks in his speech and he explained why. People like him only come along once in a LONG while, and I think our country needs this, BADLY. Almost anyfowl who doesn't belong to his flock is flocking behind a hawk disguised as a chicken. Once the hawk is revealed, it will be four more years of the same thing...
How many chickens need to die fighting predators before you say enough is enough and lock them in the henhouse behind some nice, strong hardware cloth? Should we allow our sick and old birds no access to medication? If a chick is lost and has no one to raise it, do we throw it to the big, wide world, without older, smarter chickens to guide it?
Sometimes I think we treat our chickens better than we treat ourselves. Brawrack O'Brahma is the answer.
You can read a transcript on CNN.com if you missed it. (And you should read it... I imagine it will go down as one of the best speeches of the 21st century). http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/28/obama.transcript/index.html
I know which chicken is going to get my blue ribbon in November's big poultry show.

I didn't watch it, but I read the transcript. He gave the usual political speech, I will do these things, life will be beautiful, you are loved, etc. He didn't explain HOW he's going to accomplish these things. But then he doesn't have to, he's just preaching to the choir at a convention, the same way McCain will probably preach to his choir..
But how will he pay for these wonderful things?
Since he gives no explanations, all I can read into it is taxation, subsidies (which have to get paid for somehow), and government run industries, which smacks of socialism.
He is a very charismatic speaker, so were a lot of other people throughout history, some good some very, very bad. I'm human, I can be sucked in as easily (well maybe not as easily, being a cynic and all) as the next person, which is why I read the transcripts rather than listen to the speech live while the adoring fans scream and drool. (I never fell for Beatlemania either).
I'm not listening to his opponent's speech live either (I'll probably be reading this board
). I wonder if there's a chicken out there with his name on it?
To the OP, was it a tasty egg?
sd - neither a democrat nor a republican

"Let me make this clear: though I love everyone's puns and funnies, we renamed the bird in honor of and in support of the Democratic candidate.
She is an excellent chicken, well-travelled and well-read, who wants only the best for her fellow Ameracaunas. She comes in peace, provides eggs for our family, is lovely to listen to and a credit to her species. We thnk she is full of good ideas, as well as grain and eggs."
"For the first time, in a long time, i have hope."

Swamp Girls, both of you (!) thanks for kind words and mutual support for Democracy. And, yes, O'Brahmas first egg laid as a candidate for the Presidency was a most delicious egg, served over easy with coarse salt and fresh pepper.
Power to the Peeps!

It was an awesome speech! I'm hoping to see them tomorrow in Dublin, OH. I put in an RSVP, but it's first-come, first-served basis. I'm going early! Woo-hoo!

Ooh, hope you get in. will you post and tell us how the event goes?!
I'm with SwampDucks. Actions speak louder than words and it looks like no change on either side to me.
Hope is as empty as fear.
