Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.

It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.

Dammit, America. 😞

Don’t like a book? Don’t read it. Pretty simple.
