Truce with Newt for a Day

Well, I just got back from my daughter's graduation from the U. of Mary Washington (Yay Amanda!). As I've blogged ad nauseum at my old url, votehurstdumpdavis.blogspot.com, I had been quite distressed at the prospect of Newt Gingrich being the commencement speaker. To his credit, and unlike the crap spouted by his introducer VA House of Delgates Speaker Howell and the crap in the printed program about Newt, Newt himself absolutely refrained from any partisanship in his remarks. He told the graduates to dream big, work hard, learn every day, enjoy themselves and be true to themselves. Amanda's Aunt Lilli almost grabbed Newt for a photo op with me, but I couldn't go that far, but for this one glorious day, I'm at peace with Newt. Tomorrow, on the other hand....
