And I'd love to have heard an Obama equivalent to that.
Before the speech, I heard some "your love is lifting me higher..."
I think there might be a need for a victory playlist tomorrow!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Also? I LOVE the "storming the Bastille" videos of people celebrating outside the White House.

I love Mark Morford even when I want to edit him. Which is often. But I love him, nonetheless.
So please, defy your temptations. Do not, under any circumstances, join with the entire planet right now and enjoy President-elect Obama's dazzling victory, because the world is still in shambles and the nation is super-duper trouble and... still must have to think...er, resolve the serious financial crisis because blood and banana creme pie and...
...er, I mean racism and raging turmoil in the... death all around, war raging and puppies... um... pain and suffering in the sunshine shoelace... wait... oh yes, drugs and death and... er... anarchy and foreign policy... sex and tickling Paris Hilton and... and..andandanddddd...
Wait. What? What the hell was I just saying? Did I really just write all that? What the hell is wrong with me?
I am so sorry. I don't know what just happened. Shall we start over? Here, let me splash this water on my face. And then this cold sake. And then this refreshing sense of oh my God would you look at the country right now and can you hear all the horns honking and the children grinning and the massive collective sigh? There now. Ready?
Hell yes, this is a time for screaming. For dancing, crying, celebrating with a rare feeling of renewal. It is a time for feeling it fully. A great thing has been done. A great shift has just transpired. Best news of all: There is no going back.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I need a picture of Palin's face.
Why, yes, I'm petty.

I heard firecrackers and some scary booms. I wanna go out and join them.
AND HOLY HELL. I spent the speech on the phone with a bf, sniffling and getting reassurance this was real. And saying FUCK YEAH or... no.Or HOLY FCK THIS IS REAL.
I cling to this, but I'm still amazed we did this. I'm that broken.
God.Damn. We have President Barak Hussein Obama. THANK YOU, United States of America! Thanks for overcoming your bullshit. This time. May you grow up lots.
And I am rather drunk and should crash.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I may have to give him a "good job" when I see him in the lobby.
Do you see him in lobby?

BTW, I know there was some discussion about the title of Natter 62. Given the current tone of hope, but not being overtly political may I suggest -

Er, I'm looking for it right now. Paint me petty.
