Right here, right now.

Watching the world wake up from history.

It’s a damn exciting day. I’m half tempted to find some red, white, and blue balloons to hang up around my Obama sign. Dearest is talking me out of it for fear of getting the house egged by upset Republicans today. Me, well after the last 8 years I’m in the mood for a little gloating.

Sadly, with all the excitement and tears of joy going on today, there’s also a bittersweet taste coming out of California, Arizona, Florida, and Arkansas. I suppose it’s in line with the Founding Fathers of our country. The ones who preached Equality for all men, while living off the blood of slaves that they owned. Equality only for those certain people, freedom only for the select few, citizenship only for the “right” kind of Americans.Face it, we’re a country that only wants to give it’s rights and freedoms to the ones at the top of the food chain.

What’s right is not always popular, what’s popular is not always right.

So while we’re celebrating today the huge step forward that we as a country took last night, let’s not forget the steps back that we were driven by the hatered and the bigotry that still owns too much of this country.

Someday we’ll live up to the ideals we claim to have. For today, have another glass of wine and enjoy the party.
