Obama's Grandmother Passes

From Associated Press:

HONOLULU – Barack Obama's grandmother, whose personality and bearing shaped much of the life of the Democratic presidential contender, has died, Obama announced Monday, one day before the election. Madelyn Payne Dunham was 86.

Many condolences to the Obama family. The sorrow must be especially poignant, today of all days.

"Term of all that liveth, whose name is Death and inscrutable, be favorable unto us in thine hour. And unto them from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen, may there be granted the accomplishment of their true will; whether they will absorption in the Infinite, or to be united with their chosen and preferred, or to be in contemplation, or to be at peace, or to achieve the labour and heroism of incarnation on this planet, or another, or in any Star, or aught else, unto them may there be granted the accomplishment of their true will; yea, the accomplishment of their true will. Amen." - Liber X.V.

Let's win this one BIG for Madelyn, people.

Vote, dammit.
