Quote from my son

I was teaching him to drive this weekend. I explained the different positions on the shift lever, highlighting that the important ones are D for Drive and R for Reverse. His quote - "I can remember that. D to move forward and R to move backwards. It's like voting."

Driving is like voting.

Select "D" to move forward.

Select "R" to go backward.

This has been obvious in my circle for 50 years.....

Former Michigan Governor, Janet Granholm used this phrase in her speech at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. It’s a barn-burner!

I watched her speak (at home) during that convention. That was a great speech. Yes, it was a barn burner. She really got me and the crowd going.
