I watched the election results at my friend's house, who is black. There were about 30 or 40 people there, with only a handful of white people. It was very wild and exciting. We drank Dom Perignon and Moet Chandon, and I ate so much food I thought I would burst. I wish we could kick the incumbents out today, right now. This country's ready for change, but we still have to put up with two more months of the terrorists who are occupying our government, and I'm fearful of what they'll attempt to pass through legislation before Jan. 9.
But, their time is at an end.
For 20 of the past 28 years we've had Bush in power; as the VP with Reagan and then on his own, Bush was the controlling influence of the entire 1980s. Isn't it weird that the last time the Phillies won a World Series was in an election year (1980) that started a whole new precedent (of fear and hatred), and now they won in an election year that has started a whole new precedent of hope? Maybe we'll actually be able to walk through Independence Hall again someday....
