A text message; then, 2 loud thuds

There were two loud "thuds" heard Saturday morning.

One was the sound of Barack Obama picking Joe Biden and dropping "change" as a campaign theme.

The other was the sound made when the jaws of 18 million Hillary voters hit the floor.

Barack Obama texted me at 3 a.m. Saturday morning to show he's always ready to make the big decisions. If choosing Biden was Obama's way of proving it, he should have taken a tranquilizer instead.
