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. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln just under 150 years ago while Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted in this lifetime. Even those who [...]

Aye Wonder Tuesday - Election Day 2008

WOW. Has it been two years already? On this election day, you might think today’s AWT would be loaded down with political tidbits just waiting to piss you off again.
