What an incredible speech. I broke down crying around the time he talked about people listening huddled around radios in forgotten corners of the world. I see in him a president who respects and understands the role that America plays in the world, not as the bully we have too often been, but truly as the beacon we can be.

President-Elect Obama, thank you for making me feel, almost for the first time in my adult life, proud to be an American.

And Mama Biden. Love her too.

I totally love Mama Biden!

Barb, I took Hil's link to mean a kind of countdown until Bush is officially out.

Ah, okay. Like I said, way, way exhausted. I think maybe the red font hit me as being kind of threatening.

I like Michelle's dress more now that I know it's sleveless and she's wearing something over it.

Shooting off guns in my ghetto adjacent neighborhood!

I have that here, too!

Barb, I took Hil's link to mean a kind of countdown until Bush is officially out.

That's what I thought it was, too. I'm wondering whether, on inauguration day, it'll do anything with graphics or something, or just switch the text to "Yes."

I managed to make it without crying until the stage started swarming with Bidens, and then the waterworks started. It felt real all of a sudden.

well fuck. Prop 8 is currently passing in LA county!

Kat, I know, it's horrifying.

I am so relieved. And so grateful to not have to hang my head in shame over my state. Exhausted, happy and exhausted.

I have to go to bed. I am going to be dead tomorrow and I still have to put out the trash.

Congrats you guys. I am thrilled to be America adjacent.
