Some of us know Muhammad Ali is my hero. [View all]

He was my north star, my idol even though idolatry is wrong. When he fought Larry Holmes he was well past it and was taking an awful beating. He was game but he was basically a punching bag. His manager Herbert Muhammad who cared about him sent a message to his ring manager Angelo Dundee to throw in the towel and stop the fight. It was the first fight in sixty six fights he didn't end on his feet. Herbert Muhammad did it because he cared about him.

Is there somebody that cares that much about Bernie? His wife? His son? Jeff Weaver?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
