Left In Lowell

In case anyone was wondering why I have not posted, I am traveling in Europe this week. On Saturday, I did listen to Shawn Ashe and Warren Shaw on WCAP, courtesy of free wi-fi in the hotel and the CAP’s capability to broadcast through the internet. Shawn, you sound just as conservative in England as you do in the U.S.A.

I am also reading all the bogs and the papers. So it feels like I am at home, except here everyone insists on driving on the wrong side of the road.

I was here a couple of years ago and the biggest difference is that no one is talking about the war. In 2006 when people engaged me in discussion, they only wanted to talk about the war. Now, when they learn I am from the U.S., they ask about the Presidential election and Obama. They are intrigued by the mystique. He certainly is getting good press here.

In spite of a lot of economic and political issues, the English have a high level of optimism regarding their economy. I wish we could say the same.
