And I appreciate your explanation. I know I can sit through someone's speech and if I don't agree, it won't rub off on me. But I'll ask a question back at you - why go to a particular church when you disagree with the preacher? Is it just about the fellowship? There are plenty of venues for people to hang out with nice people. I would like to assume Obama attended church every Sunday to be uplifted, not to ignore what the preacher had to say.

She loves it. The songs, the colors. She is in paradise. When SuperWhy comes on she is jumping and trying to sing the song. Hopefully it will continue to develop her skills!

Perhaps it is best that Hillary Clinton step down from the presidential race, as she divides the country, and is not the type of person to best represent "women" or even Americans. Yet, in all fairness, Obama should likewise step down due to his lack of experience. Speeches and good intensions (if in fact they are good) does not make one presidential material. John McCain cares for this country. Hehas experience, and while he's more liberal than my politics, he would do much to bring this country together. Anyone who knows his record knows that he obviously is not another George W. Bush. He is his own person, a political Maveric. He has served this country and is the most qualified candidate of the three to truly be considered the next president of these United States. He is not the candidate of men or of women or of whites or of blacks or any other demographic you would propose to fill in the blank. He is truly for all Americans, and I hope citizens will stand back from looking to choose a candidate who shares her / his skin color or her / his gender. It should not be a beauty contest, or a time to affirm which demographic you identify with. It isn't a test of how charismatic your personality is. We are seeking one to serve this great nation, bringing experience, ability to get along with others, and vision to the table. Not just one of these qualities. And also, someone who can be trusted, based on what we know of their past. If the wrong candidate becomes president, our lives, and our children--the future--will be effected. Let's give McCain a chance. Isn't the future of this country worth it? It is time to unite this country.

My daughter LOVES singing and dancing to your music. And her parents....love it too. LOL. I wish you do get a show/spot on Disney. The quality of your pilot is so much better than some shows Disney has on right now. You feature travel which is very important to expose children to so they can learn about the world and the local spots in the US ( like the farm animals... so cute). You also feature great music. Best of luck. My next stop is to itunes to buy some of your music even though i would really prefer a DVD or CD. I will also put a good word in for you on the disney website and I urge your fans to do the same. Thank you for keeping us jumping! Hi! My daughter LOVES singing and dancing to your music.

I thought the passionate, emotional, excitable parts of me would be patted down when I became a parent. Instead, I think that watching my son has put me back in closer touch with those feelings. I also think shiny object infatuation is part of a journalist's biological makeup. Whether you've done it for one year or thirty, having the excuse to ask anyone questions about anything that interests you is oddly liberating. And when you share information, and you've seen it help even one person... damn! Now that's addictive. Lovely post.
