Pariah's Ponderings

I just found out today that I did, after all, impress the guys when I sang with them unexpectedly.  I guess that was the final test or something and I passed with flying colors so now I am in the band, SIFT....sweeeeet! Blogged with the Flock Browser

Well it's over and done.  We have a new president elect, Barack Obama.  What an amazing time to be an American!  It's been crazy, with everything from inspiring speeches to conniving beetches (heh) and all points in between.  But as I watched nearly 150,000 people in Grant park, Chicago, cheering and crying, hugging each other and all else..it struck me that history is well and truly made today.  Everyone thought, myself included, that this race would be so close due to divisions in the thinking of the American public over whether many white peope could live with an African-American president.  Yet, the spirit that has made this country great before came through today when Obama won by quite a large electoral margin.  John McCain had one of the most elegant and classy concession speeches I have ever heard; he had nothing but praise and admiration for Obama.  When there were boos from the audience of his headquarters, he immediately hushed them, lo...

What an exciting time to be an American...just when I think I've just about ...
