Barack Obama Just Won the Election!
As I write this, the TV is playing in the background and I can hear the crowds in Chicago shouting their love for our soon-to-be president, Barack Obama. I just want to say that I'm really proud to be able to witness this event. Call it corny, call it trite; it's true.

Mark--I don't think it's corny or trite at all. It's a moment in the history of this country the likes of which has never happened in 220 years. I'd call it monumental and therefore ample reason to be thoroughly impressed.
If you haven't heard it, here's a link to an NPR story that underscores the meaning of the moment. The subject is a 109-year-old woman whose father was a slave. She voted Tuesday.
