Ninety-Nine… One Hundred Days!

I want you to hold your government accountable. I want you to hold me accountable.
~Barack Obama
Ok, we will!
~PolitiFact.com
100 days after taking on the mantle of the Presidency, it’s time (at last!) to do just that.
Like most everyone, I imagine, I’ve been watching what President Obama has been up to. Trying to remember that [...]

It’s April Fool’s Day!

Ok, I haven’t done a political post in a while, largely because I felt I needed to back off a bit. I mean really, I felt as though I were on fire at times! Then my mom hinted that I was becoming a politician, to which I responded (truthfully, from my point of [...]

Obama’s Inaugural Address, January 20, 2009

My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the [...]

And the Truth Shall Set You Free

Tonight, hundreds of thousands of people (if not a million or so) are braving the freezing temperatures of Washington, D.C., in celebration of the passing from the old to the new. The Bush family is, presumably, spending their last night at the White House tonight, before “checking out” around 11:00.

Reflections on a Dream

The Electoral College

Today is the day the next American President “actually” gets elected.
No, really! Never mind the millions who showed up at the polls a little over a month ago, a small, select, even elite group of people actually have the ability to turn it all upside down. They are the members of the “Electoral [...]

I Reject Your Reality…

…and substitute my own.
Forget an Orwellian world, welcome to the Rovian world. This is a place where:

the Democrats are the ones who wanted to go to war in Iraq;
the war in Iraq was launched because of “faulty” intel, and “everyone” was bamboozled by said “faulty” intl
if Bush’s presidency was a failure, it’s because of [...]

Historic Election Day – VOTE TODAY!

Today is, undoubtedly the most historic since the Declaration of Independence. By the end of the day, we will either have the first African-American President, or the first female Vice President ever. This is the hopes and dreams of countless civil rights leaders, from suffragists to abolitionists and more, all in one day.
Please [...]

The Times, They Are A-Changing

With a little luck and a lot of diligent counting, by this time tomorrow evening, one way or the other, we will be looking at a completely different America and, by extension, perhaps even a different world. First, however, we have to get through the painfully tedious task of counting all those ballots. I expect [...]
