Obama's Rice Field Moment
Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 8:34PM 
Walking through a rice field north of Ubud, on the island of Bali, a farmer bent double as he tended hs plants suddenly looked up and, recognizing my t-shirt from a certain New York university, shouted, 'Obama or McCain?'
I looked around: swaying palm trees, twittering birds, and a clear blue tropical sky; hardly a likely place for a political discussion, but stranger things have happened to TLR on the road.....When I gave him my answer, he shouted, 'Great man!' and went back to his rice plants.
