response to Morgan Clendaniel's post Interpreting Iowa
At least one of us at GOOD, me, can surrender my mid-20s armor of jadedness and celebrate a moment of beauty in Iowa. Record numbers of people, record numbers of young people and the first black man to win the Iowa Caucus are far from meaningless. I had the honor of witnessing a caucus and have to say that down and dirty democracy is a giant turn on. Something about baked cookies, civic engagement, a high school gym and a giant win have me more inspired to change this country than ever.

"Please rise for the national anthem," he said and proceeded to play 'Cause It's My Life' against the faintly pulsing Phillips logo in the background. will the people hear Bon Jovi rather than the muzak in the household items aisle? Will they pick up the light bulb? I think they will.
