I got into the voting booth this morning, and I reached for the lever for Obama -- and then I heard voices. They were the voices of the Virgin Mary, Robert E. Lee, and Warren Harding, all saying, "Don't do it! Think about it. Is this the kind of country you really want?"
I thought something sounded really fishy. So I stopped for a minute and thought. Why would the Virgin Mary want me to vote for McCain anyway? Whatever. Then I realized what was going on. I said, "Warren Harding, you hypocrite. You were part African-American! YOU were our first black president!"
There was a long silence. And then I pulled the lever for Obama. And it felt great.
