Congratulations

I generally avoid politics around here (except the occasional joke), but I did want to take a moment to register my congratulations to both Democratic and Republican parties for taking truly historic steps in their nominations. If reports are true that McCain has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential candidate, that means that this November we are guaranteed to elect either a black President or a female Vice President.

Congratulations to both Barack Obama and Sarah Palin (and McCain and Biden as well)! Though I have often been cynical and skeptical of both major parties, this is a remarkable turn of events!
