This has got to be my favorite story of the entire election cycle:

RWV Excl: McCain Caught In Photo With Younger Woman

And from that “younger woman,” a few quotes which are simply delightful, not in her political preference, but rather the simplicity of statements such as these:

This will make American’s money last long and worth more. That means they can buy more stuff for less money again. Which is really good.

It’s like if you had 1 dollar now, you could only buy one piece of candy maybe a Hersheys bar or whatever you like. But with his plan that dollar could buy you more stuff probably two Hersheys bars. Families need that cause it takes a lot of dollars to buy everything they need and it would be nice to get more.

or this:

Influences: My Mom. Not my dad, cause he’s not Republican. But I still love him a lot, and he’s good for other stuff.

Ah, to be ten, so innocent so honest and so influential..she even convinced her Dad to vote for McCain.

Thanks to Riehl World View for sharing this light campaign moment with the rest of us! What fun!

Thanks to Mrs. Greyhawk at Mudville Gazette for the link to this post from Eric at Zen Traveler.

We went to a ballet school in central Baghdad today and did a story on the school and its students.

The pictures at the above site are priceless. They serve to reaffirm what most of us already know. Children everywhere have the same aspirations and dreams. How priceless.
