DC Legend: Chicken Wings & Mumbo Sauce
Mumbo Jumbo Noun. 1. Confusing or incomprehensible language or activity. 2. An obscure ritual or incantation. [Mandingo origin.] American Heritage Dictionary Of the English Language Mumbo sauce? Anyone who has ever traveled east of the Anacostia River has heard the term, Mumbo Sauce. What do I mean by east of the river? I mean if you have ventured anywhere near Benning Road, Wheeler Road, Southern Avenue, or Minnesota Avenue in North/Southeast Washington, D.C. There is no way that you can go into any Korean owned and operated “Kerry-Out” [ trans. Carry-Out food ] in DC and not hear someone order french fries with chicken wings and Mumbo Sauce. Impossible! Some like it on the chicken and others (like me) like it on the side. I’ve always thought of Mumbo Sauce as a DC thang, but where did it really come from? Actually, Mumbo Sauce originated on Chicago's Southside in the early 1950s by a man named Argia B. Collins, who was known for his famous ribs and barbeque Mumbo Sauce. N...

All very personal and very profound. In many states mostly southern states, felons are not allowed to vote...they lose that right if they go to jail and don't get it back in some states. I live in CT where felons can vote. Even if they are on probation.
I voted. I felt connected.
Bravo, Americans, it took time, but they've understood.
She's right. Congratulations to you, to Americans in general, and indeed to the world.
Huge relief to me, now we've just got to get through our own general election this Saturday.
Funnily here blue is the colour of the right wing(conservative type party), the left (labour) have red.
Sending care and great big smiles. Michelle and Zebby-cat
I'm only sorry I could not vote for Barak Obama.
But the numbers tells more than what they represent.
If 70% of europeans would have voted for him if they even could, this tells you EVERYTHING about the world and the Western nations.
This means at last a new dialogue between people.
This means we are all united to face problems.
This means that a new future is possible!
As you can remember, in avril I came to your blog, complaining about the silly election of Silvio Berlusconi in my country.
I hoped for a different result about the elections in U.S.A.
Well, this is good news for our country too! 'Cause Berlusconi will have to deal with Obama and I hope this will bring better time.
There are wars to deal with.
There is crisis to solve.
There are awesome problems with environment and production.
But now there's time to work for change.
I hope this will be understood in Italy too... ;)
Anyway, America is again the torch that inspires the other nations.
And this is the best thing.
It's United States of the World today.
Many, many, many felicitations for you and all the people in your country

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." ~Barack Obama
Yes, this has been an amazing couple of days. Very emotional. Pres. Elect Obama even quoted Sam Cooke when he said, "A change is gonna come." We need to continue with all of the work we started. That change cannot and will not happen unless we continue to stay actively involved. I'm preaching to myself. Join in. Peace~
