Puffin’s Place

If you’ve not yet visited our President-elect’s new website, change.gov, take a look.

How astonishing is it that we have an incoming pres that has an actual interest in keeping the public informed! There is a place to tell your story in relation to the new administration, apply for a job, read a blog about events, and tons more. Hard for this old toad to comprehend that it has actually happened—we have a leader in the White House. Well, we will have on 1/20.

And, as you might guess, I am awash in regret that the media is now giving air to some movements asking the absurd question of whether whites need to fear an Obama administration. Good grief. Such questions and furor need mostly to be ignored. The paranoid will always be with us, but I lack understanding of why they also warrant national exposure. I can imagine the hell that would be raised with the past 40+ presidents, if malcontents had been whipping about wondering if African-Americans should be afraid. As the incoming president once said, “We are in the silly season.”
