Barack Obama

There might be a few stray canary feathers around the corners of my mouth, too. I ended that letter with something like "If the man who responded to an earlier letter of mine with the screed about 'lying hyenas of socialism!' wants to take another swing at it, feel free. Won't matter. When it comes to meaningful, beneficial, and critically needed change, my personal (if borrowed) mantra always has been and ever will be: yes we can, yes we did, and we're not nearly done." Signed, (my name), Lifelong Solidarity Democrat and Proud of It.

That might be taken for a challenge.

But I love standing up to bullies. It will be interesting to see if the new pastor says anything to me although it would be in private, I'm sure. He's actually a pretty smart and decent guy. Honest, I intend to be the very soul of sweetness. If I start practicing now, maybe I'll have it down pat in 3 more days.
