In late 2007, the Smooch the Soul blog reviewed Practically Shameless, and now it has reviewed my two essays on shadows at the holidays, with an additional mention of my new Home for the Holidays CD.

If you page down, you'll see Smooch's reply to a Republican who was unhappy about the blog posting a link to Matt Damon's interview about Sarah Palin. I respected Damon's comments about Palin not because he's a celebrity but because he's an intelligent and articulate person who provided what I thought was a really clever comparison of Palin's nomination to a "really bad Disney movie." Spot on, IMO.
