Start a Revolution from my bed



a friend of mine (black girl about 25 years old) sent me a text message Tuesday Night after Obama won.. It was pretty touching to see how this election has influenced somebody like her who has never shown any interest in politics but somehow it rallied her and I'm sure many other people in the African American community, as this is the next step in the long struggle for equal rights.
"They didnt' want to give us 40 acres and a mule so dammit we will tkae 50
states and a White House"


As I was trying to take it all in, I remembered asking her on earlier in the day if she had voted to which she responded "the lines were too long in the Bronx, didn't want to wait"

oh well.

Press Conference #1 went off without a hitch although it was weird to see Obama in his first non political campaigning event seemed a bit like a fish outa water.    So Gail Collins reported that Linsday Graham had said he would drown himself in a lake if McCain didn't win North Carolina, thank God Teddy Kennedy was busy.
