Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me

Nina Simone Feeling Good
I remember going to bed late November 7th 2000 believing that Al Gore was El Presidenté, only to awake the next morning in a nightmare. So it was with great trepidation that i shuffled up to the computer this morning in my bunny slippers and robe, clutching my Ovaltine. I held my breath, turned the crank, plugged the series of tubes into the Internets...and whad'ya-know!
Not only did the center hold overnight, but that rough beast, slouching toward Bethlehem, has been hit with a tranquilizing dart –– Rumsfield is stepping down. Pelosi is poised to become the first madam speaker in U.S. history, and barring any numerical hiccups in Virginia or Montana, the Senate 'long shot' is now a reality.
This is so huge, it means so much on so many levels that I can't process it all right now. I am speechless. I think we can leave all the analyses and prognosticating for the days ahead. Right now I'm just enjoying the moment.
You can't see me, but I'm dancing in my bunny slippers.
