It should go without saying that by refusing to accept the election results\u2014something no incumbent president has ever done before\u2014and encouraging his supporters not to accept them either, President Trump has once again sunk to a new, and very scary, low. As I expressed last week, I have little opportunity to speak to the modern world and I\u2019m sick and tired of devoting what little time I have to the likes of Donald Trump\u2014so this time I really won\u2019t, or at least not much. (If he refuses to clear out of the White House before too long, however, I could be persuaded to renege on my commitment.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Words all but fail me when it comes to expressing my profound joy and overwhelming relief at the results of the presidential election. When I take a look at what\u2019s going on these days on this earth of ours, sometimes I\u2019d just as soon skip it\u2014been there, done that, and so forth. But I really wish I could have participated in some of the spontaneous, joyous celebrations that broke out in our nation\u2019s biggest cities when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were finally declared President-elect and Vice President-elect. I especially want to extend congratulations to Kamala Harris for becoming America\u2019s first woman Vice President, along with the first Black woman and person of color. To borrow an expression that wasn\u2019t used back in my day, how cool is that?! I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever mentioned it, but I was quite a dancer during my brief time on earth and I can definitely see myself showing off some moves in the street in front of the White House, or maybe even in Time Square. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
