A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square

Permalink 12:50:21 pm, Categories: News  

Democrats have retaken the U.S. House of Representatives. We don't know about the Senate yet, but it's still a possibility.

Democratic control of both houses would end the Bush presidency as we've known it. (Just the House will make a big difference.)

I've been regularly checking the Senate results, looking for the ray of light of a newly Democratic House (as Madonna might have it) to develop into the bright sunshine of complete Democratic congressional control.

When I entered Starbucks this morning -- the Senate outcome very much on my mind -- "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" was playing. Wasn't this a song that gave hope to Brits during World War II?

I took its ambient presence as an omen of sorts; an embrace of hope.

If the Chortle blogs vanish at the end of the month as scheduled, you can continue reading this blog at http://ajl.blogspot.com. (You can shift there now but, for some reason, I can't make a link out of this, so you'll have to cut and paste.)

Facebook friends can find the blog there. (It's at MySpace as well.)

The RSS feed is here: http://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID=73386291 And Atom here (Can't make a link out of this one either.): http://ajl.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Thanks to all who've followed my (mis)adventures. I hope you'll join me in those to come.
