What in the world..........

Hillary took our state......
It's snowing now two days ago it was 85!!!........and last but not least,
hell froze over.......

I'll explain that last statement; My sweet lil ol' Dad voted for Obama! This is the same man who wouldn't enter our house if our 'black' housekeeper was still inside.........just goes to prove you're never too old to learn something. He was determined to do it all by himself too. It remined me of a little kid who insists on dressing himself. With our ballots you have to use a pen to connect the arrows for your choice. I told him I'd do it for him but he just kept saying "here?" I' said no 3 times...then he finally got his pen close to the arrow and I said" right there" he connected it and smiled.
My Dad. He's too cute.

My Mom said it's too bad that people who are "mixed" as in half black and half white, have to be known as black. Huh??????? She said ," yeah, it'a a law" "Huh? "I said, " a law?" "yep, it's a law and I think that's sad." I told her I think they 'choose' to be 'tagged' as biracial and that there are forms that make them choose one or the other, but that it's not a law. It stayed with me though. I scratched my grape over that all day. I tried to find out it it's true but couldn't find any info. Is she nuts or am I?

I don't know your mom so I'm not going to comment on her sanity, but as far as I know, there is no law she speaks of.

I don't understand all this Hillary stuff. . . . ? Obama always stuck to his guns and I admire that. Hillary will be taking from the husband (what he has worked very hard for) and I if she gets any further.

I'm worried.

It's an interesting election. With a woman on one hand and a (half) black man on the other.

Should make it difficult for quite a few prejudiced Democratic voters ;)

I believe either one of them will do a good job, though.

Jen: I totally agree--I'm sure my Mom is sane but she's also 83 years old and gets confused...a lot, but won't admit it. I just let it drop since it wouldn't do any good to argue with her...
I admire Obama too. Lovee and i never suffered under Clinton but the thought of HIM being in the White House again will take some getting used to.

reh: Yeah, my Dad is one of those prejudiced Democrates...like I said Hell forze over...:)
