November 4th – Happy Birthday, Mom!

This coming Tuesday – my Mom’s birthday – will see the election of a new President and the beginnings of a changed American society. I’m sorry that she is not here to see it all happen along with the rest of us. The changes that lie ahead of us will be historic, significant, and life-changing for all of us. Even though she would not be voting, I think that Mom would be very pleased to see an African-American man finally get the chance to be our President and become the most powerful man in the world.
Decision Day

As for John McCain, I wanted to be able to vote for him in 2000, but George W. Bush and his cheats stole that from me. Now I’m not so sure it would have been a good vote even then. I’m very sure it would not be a good vote now. McCain has sold out to the extreme Right, both religious and political. Sorry John – your day has passed.
