To Be Or Not To Be

oh! my brain is about to explode. such big decisions and no idea how to make them. who do i pick? barack or hillary? clinton or obama? and those are the only two choices available to me. i watch the tv, i read the news, i know how i, as a black woman, am supposed to behave. it's one or the other and, whomever i pick, i better be able to justify why i didn't pick the other.

sorry? issues? what issues? obviously hillary has my best interests at heart, as a woman, and well, i could say the same thing about barack and interests as a black person. otherwise the media wouldn't be plunking those in front of me as my two choices. and today i almost got waylaid - i spotted john edwards on the television talking and i thought - hmmm, interesting. but before i got too carried away, i caught myself quickly. silly pandave! focus on your choices, they are difficult enough already. just choose what you feel more of - a woman or a black person. forget health issues, tax issues or any other issues other people are supposed to be concerned about. focus!

and man, don't i feel sorry for the white man. i mean first you have to decide democrat or republican and then on either side there are just a bunch of white men trying to get your vote. how do you do it? how do you decide? i'm thinking i'm the lucky one.

Isn't that comforting? They always do their best to protect us from our silly selves ;-)
