This is our victory



Quoting his acceptance speech, which I am listening to with a few tears falling into my eggs.

It feels kind of good to believe something good might actually be able to happen now. I hope it's true.

Tina, I was deeply moved by his electon. I burst into tears of joy, disbelief when the election was called here at 11:00 pm. Check my blog on Monday for video of a moving spontaneous street celebration. Jaded hipsters chanting "we've got our country back!" over and over. strangers grinning at each other from ear to ear.

i can't believe that it all actually worked this time; i had grown so distrustful, so pessimistic, so cynical. Not that there isn't room for healthy cynicism, but my cynicism, honed over the past decade, was pretty ugly.
