One More Midnight Clear

I received today, as perhaps many here did, an email from the Kerry campaign suggesting a donation to Operation Phone Home (a USO deal, so I'm assuming it's okay), a program that provides phone cards to soldiers in Iraq so they can call loved ones free of charge. I'm not advocating participation in the program, I'm just saying I got the email.

I don't have kids in Iraq, though my kids are old enough to be there.

Of course, the cynical side of me would see Kerry keeping his name out there. But on this Christmas Eve my heart is large - if not a touch broken for other parents who's kids we couldn't protect when they sat down for lunch - and I'm thinking the Blue States kicked butt in November.

Um, warm wishes to all, in case that wasn't clear.

Date-non-specific wishes to all from me as well.
