Neither Thing Matters

Yes, I know there are probably other African-Americans much better qualified and
prepared for the presidency. Much, much better qualified. Hundreds, easily, if
not thousands, and without any troubling ties to radical lunatics and Chicago
mobsters. Gary Coleman comes to mind.
It's also heartening to realize that as president Mr. Obama will soon be working
hand-in-hand with a former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard like Senator Robert Byrd to
craft the incoherent and destructive programs that will plunge the American
economy into a nightmare of full-blown sustained depression.

So for now,

let's put politics aside and celebrate this historic milestone. In his famous speech at the Lincoln Memorial 45 years ago, Dr. King said "I have a dream that one day my children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Let us now take pride that Tuesday we Americans proved that neither thing matters anymore.
