Never Happier to Have Been Wrong

Confession: I was braced for a loss, for four more years of the same, because I honestly didn't believe that America would elect a black man named Barack Hussein Obama. Shame on me for letting my faith in my country falter like that.

I'm proud, and I'm happy, and I'm hopeful.

I heard a man on NPR say, "Rosa sat so Martin could walk, so Obama could run, so our children could fly." Amen.

I cried too--my eyes were still puffy this morning.

I'm glad you guys were there last night, even if we didn't eat the cake.
