The World is Watching Appreciatively
For the past 8 years, when I have travelled outside of the US, people have treated me differently. I have gotten this feeling that they understand that it wasn’t me that put Bush in the White House, but nonetheless, how could that have happened? On some level, they got it. Germany certainly has had their […]
