siempre saliendo
por puertas
que pretenden
ser puertas
supuestamente
abiertas

y alli
vamos

caminando
por caminos
que pretenden
llevarte al
lugar donde
solo los
desviados
llegan

y alli
vamos

con la verdad
que nos dice
algo de ese
mismo lugar
del mismo
desviado

y esos mismos
desviados
te predican el
mismo mensaje
de ese mismo
cristo salvador
y redentor

y que es
ese mismo

el mismo
cristo, el cristo
que pretendemos
ser la puerta donde
pasan aquellos que
siempre, si siempre
van saliendo

saliendo
por puertas que
pretenden ser
puertas supuestamente
muy abiertas

y ese mismo
cristo esta
tambien
y no
solo un poco
muy desviado

pero asi quedamos todos no
con puertas, simplemente
y supuestamente
abiertas

y el cristo sigue siendo
el camino para aquellos
desviados que
buscan nada
mas que
simplemente puertas

que solo supuestamente
estan abiertas
y nada mas

y asi con el cristo
quedamos todos.

como puertas
solo supuestamente
abiertas.

y nada mas.

it’s a beautiful day. not sure the arc completely bends toward justice with an obama win. but it is a slight bend.

and a slight bend toward justice is an improvement from the sick bend towards hell that took place over the last years. a simple end to a nightmare.

so, i’m grateful. for those who hope. and for those who worked their asses off. to make good dreams come true.

tonight, lina and i will relax and enjoy david.

on the night before, i could not make or read a better argument.

For me, if Obama is elected, it will feel more like a simple end to a nightmare. The earth has been scorched these past seven years. No Heaven awaits. Just an end to some sort of Hell. -Andrew Sullivan

i vividly remember meeting this american hero of mine at an east st. paul mexican restaurant.

fr. francisco and i were having breakfast when he walked in. we both stood up to greet, thank and shake the hand of senator paul wellstone. here was the man who taught me to be proud of wearing the label of liberal american. the label that stands for the ideal of freedom and justice for all.

thank you paul! we do miss you. i wish you were here today. cheering on and helping all of those folks working hard to get out the vote for barack.

in honor of you senator wellstone, we hope history will be made in a few weeks. we wish you were here to see it take place.

It’s easier to be a liberal today, to be a progressive, to be proud. But there was a time when it wasn’t. When liberalism in defense of peace was mocked, and moderation in service of imperialism was praised. In those days, it was hard to be a liberal. It must have been hard to be Paul Wellstone. He never showed it, though. He liked to quote Marcia Timmel. “I’m so small and the darkness is so great,” she said. “We must light a candle,” Wellstone would reply. He was ours. Would that he was here to enjoy the dawn.-ezra klein

a nice perk to being in austin this year…

thank you to my dear partner lina for introducing me to the magnetic fields and tom merritt. it was a beautiful show. i didn’t shoot this but i was there and witnessed it live.
