Tonight's Perfect Moment

When Bush slips "flip-flop" into one of his stage lines, Kerry says, "Sometimes one discovers, with the advantage of age and experience, that a chosen course may not have been a wise one. You, for instance, used to drink excessively and drive a car while you were drunk. You are, in fact, an alcoholic. I think it would be unfair of me to accuse you of being a flip-flopper because you decided to stop driving drunk."

"Over the centuries, people thought about dragonflies in many ways. In ancient times, Japanese farmers believed the dragonfly was the spirit of the rice plant. Dragonflies were a welcome sign of a good rice harvest. Dragonflies were also believed to bring good luck in battle. About 1600 years ago, the dragonfly was the symbol of a great Japanese warrior clan. The dragonfly later became one of the emblems of the emperor. An old name for Japan - Akitsu-shimu - means Dragonfly Island. The dragonfly is praised in many Japanese poems and songs."
