The Passing of a True FOB (Friend of Barack)


By Zamboni

We cats feel very sad for Senator Obama and his sister at the death of their grandmother, Madelyn Dunham. How sad that Mrs. Dunham couldn't have lived to see the results of tomorrow's election.

We're reminded of the death of President Clinton's mother, Virginia Kelley, in January 1994. Not because we're being presumptuous about Election Day. We just think that both the former President and Senator Obama are men whose lives have been shaped by strong, interesting women. We like men like that.

If we could be with Senator Obama right now, we'd jump up in his lap, curl up and PURR. In times like this, the wordless comfort of a cat is the best thing of all.

But — we're not with him, so never mind. There's too much work to do. In Mrs. Dunham's memory, GET OUT THE VOTE!
