Although things have calmed down significantly in Madison, the theatrics still continue, to some extent, on both sides of the aisle.
This morning during a legislative panel discussion one actor prone to hyperbole asked in exasperation why the current leadership couldn't see "what even Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles" can see!?
As the universe would have it, the person who had stepped up to the microphone and was patiently waiting to ask his question was also blind, and he called out: "Even I can see!"
It was a pretty classic moment, and just about everyone in the room, regardless of their political viewpoint, cracked up laughing. I reckon that it's that common ground, that human angle, that we have to try to stay with to break out of our current morass:
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved!
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
A little more grace, a lot less finger-pointing. What a sweet sound that would be!
