Qapla’
I am filled with overwhelming pride tonight, as United States Senator Barack Hussein Obama is named as the winner of the 2008 presidential election. I feel tears well as I marvel at our willingness as a nation, as people, and as humans, to right the wrongs of the past, and to look forward to the future with hope and optimism; willingly taking the steps necessary to attain our dreams, and to challenge the status quo to secure a safe and better future for our children.
I love you America.

Hot damn. Great speech — he even included gays. When’s the last time you heard a President-Elect mention gays in his acceptance speech? Oh, right, never. It looks like Prop 8 might pass, though. I guess gays aren’t quite ready for equal rights. What do we have to do, elect a Lesbian president?
