Tommy, that is great to read. I was all smiles this morning and a bit let down that no one on the street seemed to be envigorated like me. I was bouncy on the subway and wanted to give people hi-fives and say "We did It!", but everyone looked the same as every other day: tired, stonefaced, emotionless.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Andrew Sullivan said that African Americans in CA, as a group, voted overwhelmingly for Prop 8, the only group to do so. Occasionally he brings up homophobia in the Black community, which is basically religiously motivated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is black:
Still on a gut, emotional level, this makes me sick. If someone wants to give me a reason why gay people shouldn't be able to marry that doesn't, at its root, boil down to "yuck," I guess I'd love to hear it. But really that isn't the point. I've always maintained that you don't have to like black people to do the right thing. Same thing here. I'm not very interested in folks's homophobia. I'm interested in why they think they should be in the business of dictating terms of love to two consenting adults. It's disgusting. And we need to let this shit go. There may be great, sound reasons beyond--the blacks are pathological!!--to explain this. But there are no great, sound reasons that excuse it. Cut this shit out. We know better. Even if other people didn't.

I'd say maybe 1/4th of the people on my train looked more enthusiastic and happy than normal. I was tempted to try to start up an Obama cheer, to see how many responded....

I was extra tired! But happy inside my head.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Last night people were hugging each other on the street, according to my co-worker who was watching the returns at Rockefeller Center. I think this morning we were all too hungover from celebrating to be properly bouncy.
