Obama wins.

I never thought I'd see this day. I don't think my husband, 10 years younger, quite gets it. Thank God for YouTube.

I feel like I should say something profound, but words fail me. Truly, the mind reels.

On a less happy note, Proposition 8 looks like it's passing. I don't get it. As a friend said, how can California elect Obama and still vote for Prop 8? It's cognitive dissonance, writ large.

For homework this week, my kid (who's in third grade) wrote a letter to Obama, asking if he could please do something about Prop. 8

That aside, you've summed up the joy so well.

a lot of the people who voted for Obama are also deeply religious and...well...narrow-minded about homosexuality. A weird dichotomy indeed...
