Ruth's father is a staunch Republican. He would not have missed his opportunity to cast a ballot for John McCain, except for the fact that he spent election day in the ICU, comatose and on a ventilator.
When he regained consciousness a few days later, he began to ask all the "Where am I?" and "What has happened in the world?" questions.
That is when his sons told him that McCain had lost the election by one vote.
Whatever ticks me off or tickles my fancy today: politics, news and society, music, movies, books, cooking, autism, and anything else bright and shiny in the world of ideas.
