Today

I Baracked the vote. I am excited, elated and terrified all at the same time. It was the first time in the entire time that I've been voting (and I vote in every single election that I can vote in) that I've actually felt good about who I'm voting for. Usually it's a choice of two white guys and it usually falls to who is going to fuck me over the worst. Basically it's lube or no lube. I usually vote lube. Because who wouldn't.

But this time I actually feel like I know this cat. He's got the same background as me (African Pops, yada, yada), he's seen what I've seen and he knows what I know. Hell, he probably knows more. He's smart, he's young, he's got swagger, he's thoughtful, he's well traveled, he's well .....perfect.

Hence, I'm terrified. Why? Not because of all of the stupid stuff people say about him. But because Americans by and large are stupid as hell. They never do what is in their best interest. They always fall for the okie doke from any barely intelligent huckster who passes off whatever bullshit as fact.

If McFail wins tonight I will be inconsolable. That's a fact. I will likely not be able to leave the house tomorrow either. I need Barack to win. Not want. Need. It's the last chance for us to redeem ourselves. It's the last time I'll see someone so well suited for the gig. Black, white or whatever. It's probably going to be the last time I feel any kind of way about anything.

I'm praying really hard. Because I just can't do another 4 years of fuckery. I can't. Then to add to it there is the Failin factor. She's ignorant as the day is long and proud of it. Naw son. Just naw. I can't spend four years flying in to a rage every time that bitch shows up somewhere. It's not good for my health.

Anyways. I'm going to try to hold it together. Obama '08

Later....
