Bro. Habib,

The history of American third parties have been a checkered one.  Correct me
if I am wrong but I think that the Reform Party under Ross Perrot gained the
highest number of votes more than any other third party in the history of
the republic, which they managed to squander in the ensuing presidential
elections over ideological squabbles which, in my opinion, were beyond the
comprehension of the average American voter.  Another third party that will
come as close as the Reform Party in forming a solid electoral base is not
in my radar screen.  The two party system has the deck stacked in such a way
as to prevent the creation of a thriving third party.

Bro. Habib, tell Hania, Amira, Tamsir and Bye-Abbie that they are partial
judges. Hania and Amira are my sisters,  and By-Abbie  my "Gorro", Tamsir
was a classmate, a friend and a neighbour. So where is the impartiality?
Speaking of politics, I have been so inspired by Councilman Bakary Simon
Bojang's success story that I have decided to reclaim my green card from the
Milwaukee INS (is it still called that?) and return to Mad City, Wisconsin
and run for City Council with Mini as campaign manager and Katim my media
man and spin doctor. The baby boomers in Williamson Street should still
remember me. If both are "listening", consider this note as your appointment
letters and get cracking while I sort out my papers.
