America The Beautiful

I have a fucking renewed faith in the American people today! This is Christmas in America! We take back the House. We take back the Senate (c'mon, you know we did) Our first Woman Speaker of the House! Our second Black Governor and first for Massachusetts. Deval Patrick has also stated on record that all the ban on gay marriage proposals are 'rooted in racism'. And now the icing on the cake - Fucking Rumsfeld is stepping down! I literally want to cry. This as a good long time friend of mine arrived in Bagdad just days ago. Maybe she'll get home safely AND soon. I wish I had more time to write.
