Free at Last

And I don’t mean African-Americans. I mean white Liberals. Free of guilt. Now you can breathe easy. You’ve paid your debt for slavery and all the other subsequent mistreatments. Well, folks, I hope Barack Obama is all you think he is and not at all what I’m afraid he is. You’ll be the ones who have to watch him, you know. The congress is on his side. The press is on his side. There’s nobody to report out. I’m going to retire from commenting and leave it all up to you. Hell, I’ve got other things to do than document the damage: inferior health care for all, the disappearance of jobs, dwindling revenues as capital leaves … Maybe I’ll disguise myself as a woman and write a novel. I want to thank you all for sticking with me. I know from your e-mails that it hasn’t been easy. But it has been fun. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.
