Comic relief

See the boy on the stairs saying ‘I want nothing to do with this’? That’s my nephew Max. He is an individualist, with a mind of his own.

I’m busy at work, scouring the news. Health care reform and free market values. Supreme Court nomination looming, judicial activism and constitutional interpretation analysis everywhere. Republican re-branding, leadership adrift and searching for themselves, some in-fighting and some capitulating their core values to be liked and accepted. Who stands for what, anyway?

Who cares what anyone thinks, in the mind of a four-year-old. I find this in my inbox: Ketchup and Greenie Beanies. Max stands for independence and free will.

Love ya’, Max.
