Your Wine is Safe From Predators

I'm helping a friend who is working at the California State Fair Wine Competition. Today I had to provide my date of birth, driver's license number and zip code so they could verify I'm not a registered sex offender. To work at a wine competition.

It appears that the Democratic Party is going to nominate a black man to be the next President of the United States. Win, lose or draw, that's an amazing thing.

I'm hopeful he'll win, but regardless, it'll be nice to have a President that can, unassisted, put a sentence together. The next one will also be the first President since 1960 to come to the job from the Senate.

It will be interesting to see what itch Obama tries to scratch with his VP pick. I think Jim Webb would be interesting. A real military hero. At the end of the day, that's what McCain perceives as his own strength, obviously. In his campaign bio, McCain gives more space to his military heritage than to his political life and accomplishments. And the political accomplishments he offers could be summarized as a mea culpa for his involvement in the Keating scandal.
