(28,208 posts)About a decade ago I attended a major Democratic Party thing in a midwestern state, and in the middle of all the speechifying, one of the leading Dems made a point of thanking all the wait staff who were serving us at the banquet. The wait staff was almost entirely African American. I believe the Republicans had had a similar even there a couple of weeks earlier, and I overheard some wait staff noting that the Republicans certainly had not thanked them.

I recommend following his wife, writer Connie Schulz, on Facebook and Twitter. Her posts either make me think (her columns for Creators.com are really good), or they make me feel better, especially on bad days.
