ORIGINAL: BOUNTYHUNTER At this early hour it looks like the people has spoken, yes Obama will be our next president,I am not happy with the results............ The people has spoken? Is your grammar that poor or were you trying to make a bad joke? It could be the Mammy Yokum dialect in the cartoon Li'l Abner who was the matriarch of the family and when things were a finality.. she would hold her finger in the air.. corncob pipe held tight in her teeth and proclaim "I has spoken!!!" It's simply a colloquialism. (I predict Obama will by a 2-1 margin) I remember that. My Dad used to love that comic strip. There was another one too, Pogo. I don't remember much about it but I do remember it was very political and I think it was a spin-off from Li'l Abner. If that was the reference then my apologies to BountyHunter.
