If a Blog Falls in the Woods...

For the past 7 years or so, I have longed for reason to think optimistically about the future of our country. What with losing the support of the entire world following 9/11, declaring "mission accomplished" as troops continued to fight and die, oil prices, Freedom Fries, Enron's, Katrina's, Halliburton's, NASA cutbacks and in the process of not leaving any child behind, I became slightly disheartened. "Power to the People" had become oxymoronic. America needed a shot in the arm.

Enter a Junior Senator from the Land of Lincoln, a man with a plan in his hand and a band, Overman. My uninterest has turned magically into hope and excitement. As George Michael says to his father, Michael, on Arrested Development, "it's happening, it's really happening..." Janruary 20th, 2009 will be a Norgian day in the history of the universe. I expect that sometime around that day, hopefully sooner, Evolution Rocks will be nearing ten thousand downloads and Overman will celebrate in grand fashion, ascertaining additional and comparable Norgian proportions.

Change is a-comin' and I can't wait
The future is gonna be great

Overman and Obama in '09!
