While listening last night to Senator Obama remembering his grandmother, I realized that there was a silent hero in my own past that I need to share. It is a story of love and hate, tragedy and hope. It is a story of a man who until a year ago was a silent aberration within our family. A man who, while we knew that he existed, we never talked about. Indeed, it took me a month of research to discover his name. My goal in writing this is that others will know and remember this man, my silent hero.

I live in Indiana. We don't primary until May 6. I am excited, because for once it might matter who I vote for in the Presidential Primary as I don't see anyone taking a clear lead until the very end. That being said, I'm not super impressed with either of the remaining candidates. Can I get some help?
I do not want this to turn into don't vote for (insert name here) because (insert personal attack here) That's really not of consequence to me. They are both flawed, and I will probably not be "thrilled" about either. As usual all of the "good" choices have dropped out before I get a chance to have my voice heard. I've researched both candidates extensively, and I don't see any remarkable differences between their policies. Just as the candidates are both flawed, their plans are flawed as well, in about equal measure.
