Wow. That's all I can say about Bill Moyers. I've seen him speak before, but I'm once again reminded of what a dynamic force he is. If all journalists were just a little bit more like him, we'd be in a much better place.

I've got a confession to make. I was all set to watch "Blood and Oil" this morning. Then I realized I had the chance to meet Bill Moyers and get my book signed. After my heart stopped palpitating, I decided I really needed to stand in line for 45-minutes for just a few moments with Mr. Moyers. I've stood in line for about that long just to ride a roller-coaster so I was thinking it was worth it. While I was waiting, I met some interesting "Kucinich people" and because I was one of those "Dean people" back in the day, we had lots to talk about. I've always like Dennis Kucinich. I just wish he were a viable candidate. Wait. He IS a viable candidate. I just wish we had a campaign system where he was able to successfully run.

After the wait, I got my chance to talk with Bill Moyers. And what did I do? My cheeks turned pink, I muttered something about inspiration, and got my book signed. *sigh* Maybe I'll do better next time...
