I awoke this morning and like always, it was before sunrise. I waited in anticipation for the sun to rise and shine, but the sun did not shine through the heavy, dense clouds.
I have taken the day off to sit in a corner and lick my wounds, like a feline who has been through a grueling cat fight.
I need time to heal. i need time to cry. I need time for quiet reflection.
I am torn. Torn between wonder of how much we, Americans, have progressed since the "civil rights movement" and the disappointment of losing what I considered to be the most important election in my lifetime.
Obama has been compared to JFK and that is one of my biggest concerns. JFK was such a young man, with little experience, we lived through very trying times. During JFK's term, the Berlin wall was built. Let us not forget the debacle of "the bay of pigs:. And yes, the Cuban missile crisis.
Ain't no sunshine, either figuratively or literaly. At least not today.
But in the words of Scarlet, tomorrow is another day.

Say Goodbye to Jobs in the Coal Industry
Major Coal-Producing States(in rank order as of 12/31/2000)
Wyoming
West Virginia
Kentucky
Pennsylvania
Texas
Montana
Illinois
Virginia
North Dakota
Colorado
Indiana
New Mexico
Utah
Ohio
Alabama

obama has said he will bankrupt the coal industry. Jobs will disappear from the states listed above. But more than this, he will drive up the price of energy so high, you will think you are living in Bagdad, cause you can only afford elctricity a few hours each day.
Just remember, crap rolls downhill. Charge big bucks to the coal industry and who pays in the end? The one who can least afford it. Middle and low income.
There are many coal fired power plants in existence now. Sure we want to clean up our environment. But making middle and low income people pay for what they cannot afford is cruel.
Putting hard working Americans out of work is cruel.
