My new image

Gee, according to Michael Barone in the Washington Times, the Obama volunteers are studenty thugs. Well, as a proud Obama volunteer I must say I am pretty far from a youthful thug. None of my friends who volunteer mind being called youthful, but as my moniker the Hag might indicate, I am far from young. Now thug... but I must admit being a teacher of young children I find the thug a bit hard to take, and it is a pretty silly label for the other people I saw at Obama headquarters - teachers, lawyers, architects, nurses, women's advocates, and although there were quite a few young people they looked pretty tame to me, you name it, this was a very mixed group. But who knows, maybe I will warm to my new tough image.
