When I heard that Barack Obama's grandmother died, I went to the New York Times webpage to see how people were reacting. One wise, eloquent person wrote:
"May she rest in peace knowing that we are going to carry her grandson over the finish line tomorrow."
Now I can't stop crying. We must win this election tomorrow. We must.

Doesn't this seem almost Shakespearian? Dying just two days before your grandson not only WINS the presidency, but makes history in doing so!
ReplyDeleteYES WE CAN!
Oh, honey, there will be plenty to obsess over - Bush still in the white house until January, global warming, chin hairs, Sarah Palin's undoubted new career as a talk show host, Bloomberg's campaign for mayor, restricted access to abortion in the US, love handles, the rise in fuel prices, shall I go on?
