I returned from the Atlanta Tea Party and I wanted to offer some of what I saw—and what I did not see...

When I was a kid, I was told as I visited the observatory on fieldtrips that people—humans—are unable to fathom the depths of space, the distance between stars, and the sheer enormity of it all. I was also told that a person could count to a billion in about 30-40 years, assuming that they had 24 hours a day to do so. Now try 1 trillion.

Barack Obama has been cavorting around the nation with his blackberry looking like a male model, talking about hope and change, change and hope, and hope for the change. “Feel good” vibes elevated the hearts of millions of American youth as they poured into the polls to elect the messiah, all based on a cutting-edge technological infrastructure to mobilize a database of 10 million youth and cell phone numbers.

Ok, so now what?
