Pride

[mrdankelly]

Today, wanderingaengus talks about the feeling of pride African-Americans are experiencing right now, and ponders what his grandmother (an Irish Catholic) thought and felt when JFK was elected. It reminded me of what my mom told me. She said that when Kennedy won, my grandfather said, "We're no longer of Irish descent. We're Irish decent now!"

By the by, Joe Biden is our first Roman Catholic vice-president. Really. Great, now the pope will run the Senate!
