| Introduction | Gulf War vet, UC Berkeley alum, dad, husband I grew up in a black, working class neighborhood on Chicago's south side. As such, I was practically baptized a Democrat. Lately, I've become a fan of globalization and an enthusiastic missionary for the religion of democracy. I like cheap American light beers. I drink white wine with pasta, and eat my cereal with a tablespoon from a mixing bowl. All class. |
