McDonald's Isn't Lovin' a National Holiday for Barack Obama

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

Meanwhile, out in Topeka, a lone patriot named Sonny Scroggins has been trying to organize a national holiday to commemorate Barack Obama's election. Sonny Scroggins is just the man for this job.

Scroggins, who is known for his sometimes quixotic crusades against social injustice, said voting results last week were among the "most profound things that have ever happened to humankind."

"I got Jesus, I got the Internet, and now I got Nov. 4, 2008," he said.

What to call this day, November 4, when Barack Obama was elected? Elected Day? Day of Electing? Changemas? Oh, I don't know.

Unfortunately for Sonny, a lot of people want to interview him about his idea, but he's having trouble finding anyone who wants to help turn the dream into reality. Even worse, the owner of his office space is all, No You Can't...

Scroggins hit another roadblock when the downtown McDonald's, long his staging ground, heard about his upcoming planning sessions.

"You absolutely do not have permission to do any kind of Obama planning," owner Karen Tyler said in a voice mail left on Scroggins' phone and played for The Capital-Journal.

Scroggins said he has held court at the fast-food joint for years with no problems and wasn't sure why he was being kicked out now.

Well, Sonny, if Barack Obama Day is thwarted, perhaps the Topeka McDonald's would be more supportive of a national God's Son and the Internet Day.

Which, if you think about it, is pretty close.

LAST COMMENT:

November 12, 2008 Dear Pearl, Thank you for you kind words. I agree with you that the reporter tried to clown me. Her and Dragon Lady Milk----- reference to me as an impractical crusader, is far off the mark. Those two don't know me like that. What is impractical is the race-baiting and division at a time when Americans need to come together to solve America's problems. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others like them need to stop hating, stop spreading hate and discontent and marginalizing others efforts. When these naysayers were in schools of higher learning, I was out in the field, doing the work that needed to be done for all races of people. They need to revisit CJONLINE.com or Kansas Senior Monthly, and reread my life story. On the eve of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday, He said, " The fact that we may not succeed in the struggle ought not deter us from a cause we believe to be a just cause." I can think of no other time in history that can compare with November 4, 2008 than February 22, 1861 when Lincoln hoisted the flag on top of a building indicating that Kansas was a free state. Thank you, SOA and all intellectuals across the world who for the last 39 years contributed to my ministry. Sonny you did a good job on MSNBC today, but she did try to clown by insinuating that you change topics of protest too often. WTF?? Hell, news organizations change their topics every few seconds. I'm proud of you and just know that together we will change the world!
