I always cry at some point on Election Day. It’s often on my way to work, as I witness people on opposing sides of the issues standing on the opposing sides of one street, each freely able to express their views without fear. Sometimes it’s after dropping my ballot in the box. Tonight, it was [...]
Very funny (yet inappropriate to some) video. I really needed this laugh today. [h/t to Mindy] BONUS: I’m not going post this play-on-words graphic here, but if you click on it, you MAY get a laugh. [h/t to She's a Rebel, She's a Saint for this one (I think that's where I saw it, anyway...)]

The primary vote for Democrats is purely advisory and non-binding. [...]
So, it’s Super Tuesday! I have been thinking about my choices a lot, and want to write this down before I turn into the TV and catch the rehash of what’s gone on today. I am very torn between Clinton and Obama. I have a deep abiding passion and admiration for Hillary and have since [...]
