The Prez and the Hocker

I thought I would call your attention to two completely unrelated items that caught my eye this week .

When I saw Obama take the stage in Grant Park in Chicago after being elected I noticed [...]

Taking it Back with Barack, Jack.

Today is the beginning of a new day in American history. We have elected our first African-American President. This is both a long and short road ended.
