Barak Omama

My kids were excited to see the map on TV tonight. They asked why it was there with all the blue and red. I explained today was the day we voted for president. They cut me off because they talked about it in school aparantely. My dude said, "I want Barak Omama to win." Well, at 8:00 Pacific time my dude got his wish and Barak Omama, or Obama if you prefer, has been declared the winner. It looks like a landslide.

Of course this is not the first time the black man has taken the white man to the shed like this. I remember an all fraternity basketball tourney back in college in the 80's. My frat, Tappa Kegga Brew, or whatever they were called were a bunch of beer drinking white boys. That first night many of my guys, including myself, were unable to play as we had tests the next morning, were out of town or whatever the story was. We were playing against the mighty Kappa's, the red frat for those who pay attention to colors. The Kappas were a group of primarily African American students. I heard the score was something like 134-38 or something like that... as the Kappas took it easy in the second half. 'bout like the score is turning tonight.

Good on you Mr. Omama... or Mr. Obama... or should I say President Obama, good on you! Now let's all hope that our country, blue or red, white or black, purple or green, can come together to support our new president.

peace out.
