A little x-post with Bitches. Here's photos of the spontaneous parties in Seattle's streets from last night. They're in a friend's unlocked LJ post - [link]

Still sick about Prop 8, but the DailyKos article is definitely giving me hope.

Jessica, re a Dylan hoodie, I did find this customizable toddler hoodie site if you want to make your own.

Here's photos of the spontaneous parties in Seattle's streets from last night.

Ooh. Sparklers!

I can happily claim to be born a Hoosier again. Indiana going Democrat gave me a big happy.

AMEN, Cashmere, AMEN. I'm still so disappointed about Prop 8, but I'm trying to hold on to some happy things!

Also now I'm really sad I didn't go party down on Broadway in the streets! People had sparklers?? That's so cool!

Morning, guys. Pretty good morning, huh?

Now I just want people to stop comparing Obama to JFK. That did not end well!

One of the pundits on CNN last night said to Anderson Cooper how Obama's acceptance speech significantly borrowed from Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech made on the eve of his assassination, and I swear, my heart just plummeted down to my boots. (I was all, "aaarrrghhh, she said the "A" word! Undo it, undo it!)

Remember this? Sorry Everybody

(I was all, "aaarrrghhh, she said the "A" word! Undo it, undo it!)

Vonnie, its possible we just did.

I keep feeling like the country was derailed by assassinations forty years ago and we might just be getting back on track now. Of course we can never get those people back and so much has been lost... but their passion and vigor are coming back to us if we just have the nerve to take hold of them.

My upstate NY county is blue completely surrounded on all sides by red. Our county government is Republican, and the city, Democrat. I seriously think we went blue because we are the only county in the area with any significan number of African Americans, or minorities at all. Growing up in the largest town of the county south of us, I went to school with 5 black students that I can think of and three of them were underpriviledged foster children.

Um....

Palin Once Greeted McCain Staff Wearing Only A Towel

Also, she spent way-more on clothes than has been reported. And,

McCain himself rarely spoke to Palin during the campaign, and aides kept him in the dark about the details of her spending on clothes because they were sure he would be offended. Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

Steve Schmidt was one who originally advocated Palin to McCain. Yesterday (before the results were known) he refused to say whether Palin had been a benefit to McCain's campaign.
