““It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.””

“You and I will meet again
When we’re least expecting it
One day in some far off place
I will recognize your face
I won’t say goodbye my friend
For you and I will meet again”

Honestly. Tom Brokaw’s interview was a joke.

He did nothing to inquire about where Barack Obama stands on the issues. Instead of interviewing Obama, he just critically reviewed him. Including playing clips of the opposition and New York Times columnists.

Amazing really. I guess Mr. Brokaw feels tough now. Maybe he was afraid of looking like he was going easy on him.

Not what I would consider good journalism.

“

What if your family was planning a big end-of-summer bash (a Grand Old Party, you might call it) but preferred that you not be seen or heard?

That is the question hanging over President Bush, with eight weeks to go until Republicans gather in St. Paul to nominate Senator John McCain as his successor.
