According to your mama bear, there are certain subjects that proper folk just don’t discuss — sex, religion and politics. Bravo, mama bear!
But Tuesday, November 8th, is gonna be a put-up or hush-up occasion for the election of local, state and national leadership. Despite the anger that has been espoused in days past, there will be no OK Corral shoot outs. Instead it will be an exercise in democracy. Following the nationwide vote, a president will be elected, taxes will be due and the sun will continue to rise in the east.

Let’s face it. That’s what makes this dysfunctional family great. We may all have different backgrounds, ideologies, theories and opinions, but the beauty of this melting pot is that we still have the basic belief that good will reign… eventually.
So, please vote. The folks at MySweetCharity don’t care whom you vote for as long as you vote. There are people in third-world nations that can’t even imagine having the right to input their opinion.
And just remember — if you don’t vote, you’re handing over your rights to someone else. Perhaps it will be that jerk in junior high whom you thought was a real, round-the-clock loser.
BTW, just in case you’re wondering about Queenie, she proudly declared she voted for Roosevelt.
Bless her heart.
