From Dan Savage: This Freaked Me Out
Freaked me out too. I mean, I get the point, but still, it seems wrong....
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, I'm amused at the picture of the GOP hiring fake Republicans to go around canvassing while remembering my dad and the Obama canvasser last weekend reminiscing about being former Republicans.

I saw a 527 pro-Obama ad yesterday that used Paul Simon's "American Tune," which matched perfectly with what I was thinking when I heard that very same song just last week. The lyrics seem to speak to today's challenges, and the ad picked images to go with both the hardships and the hope ("I don't know a dream that's not been shattered / Or driven to its knees" with pictures of foreclosed houses and food pantries).

I voted!
And I also seem to have busted my left foot somehow. I hope the Ibuprofen I just downed does some good, because otherwise I'll have to take a cab home.

Don't let Limbaugh or Drudge know, because I can already guess at the headlines if they get ahold of this....

Elevate, shrift! And take lots of pain meds.
IpoliticalN, Eugene Robinson has a great column about what Obama's campaign has meant to him.
But an amazing thing happened. In the Iowa caucuses, white Americans voted for the black guy. That's the moment Obama was referring to when he said his faith in the American people was vindicated. For me, it was the moment when the utterly impossible became merely unlikely. That's a fundamental change, and it launched a sequence of events over the subsequent months that made me realize that some things I "knew" about America were apparently wrong.
