Have two or three.

It's natural to be stressed around the holidays. There's so much to do -
shop for invectives for Warren and Kennedy, deck the halls with boughs of paranoia and half-bake all kinds of fruitcake scenarios about how the change we voted for, ain't going to show up under the tree come inauguration day.

I hear ya. I could go there too.

Dear Barack Obama,

I voted for you today.

I was crying like crazy as I stood within the small clamshell of a voting booth in East Tennessee and pushed a button to elect you. Afterwards, I walked out with tears streaming down my face, but I was smiling, too. The smile was for me, getting to do this historic thing in my lifetime and looking forward to a better future. The tears were for my mother, who would have loved this day, who spent her life fighting for justice and hope and equality

She should have been here to see this.
