Fraters SoCal bureau chief Rick sends us what has to be the feel good story of the week:
My Grandmother (Emma Torkelson of Fergus Falls, MN) turned 100 this past June 2nd. She's still sharp as a tack.
Just TODAY, my dad found out the following about her:
1) She's been a Democrat ALL of her life
2) She has NEVER voted
3) Her parents were both Democrats
4) She's going to vote this year for the first time, and pull the lever for ... GEORGE W. BUSH
Tomorrow (Sept 24), around 1:30, she's holding a 'press conference' at the Broen Home in Fergus Falls, MN. She will also be registering to vote tomorrow.
The local paper (Fergus Falls Daily Journal) and local Republican party members will be interviewing her, and are hoping that the closest FOX affiliate station will also be there.
A GREAT story. The dawn of a new voting block:
CENTURY OLD DEMOCRATIC WOMEN FOR BUSH
True story.
And a heart warming one at that. At this point, there is not a story on this remarkable announcement available at The Fergus Falls Daily Journal, although there is fascinating piece called Meet Your New Garbage Can. Check back this afternoon for updates.
Here's to four more years for W and many more years for Grandma.
