I Still Eat A Burger

I Campaigned For [barack] Obama For More Than A Year. I Was In Iowa, Minnesota, California, Arizona - Just Traveling Around To Help Get The Word Out. It Was Such A Huge, Spirited Campaign, And So Positive. But You Travel Around To Cities In The U.s. Now And There's Just This Hopelessness That Has Set In. It Makes It Hard To Understand Why It Seems So Impossible To Make Any Kind Of Progressive Change With An Administration That Is Seemingly Progressive, Or Why We Keep Encountering Such Political Roadblocks To Change.

I'm So Tired Of Hearing Casting Directors Ask If I Have A Sore Throat. The People Who Have Told Me That My Voice Is Distinctive, It's Unusual...those People Have Always Been Close To My Heart.

I'm Happiest When I Have Something To Focus My Energy On.

Are People Who Want This Kind Of Progressive Change Not Turning Up At Polling Stations? Are They Not Voting For Progressive Representatives? It's Hard To Put Your Finger On Why We Are Where We Are.

Improvisation Has Never Been My Strong Point.
