tomorrow.

let's have a moment of silence for the final episode of west wing...

tear... =(

for the most i've learned about governance and hardball; for showing both the limits and the flexibility of the constitution; for proof that politics does not have to be dirty or underhanded, but clever, principled and transparent; for the little bits of interesting trivia (like how the carpet of the oval office changes in times of war).

for placing the press secretary, chief of staff, communications director, the executive secretaries and security forces on a pedestal, and for emphasis on their contribution to the administration of leadership.

for wit, humor, integrity, intelligence and clarity in the face of chaos, strategy and making decisions that would change the world in the next two minutes; for leaving politics at the doorstep in the name of policies that work; for the first (fictional) woman chief justice on the bench; for the most respect i've had for any president (granted he's a TV character), for realism, idealism and everything else in between.

i love this show. =) GMA should watch this. or they should show it in one of the House sessions.

(fyi, the title of this post is the title of the last episode.)

i don't have a a show to reward myself with after a long day. any suggestions? =)
