Kissing Dogs

In which I introduce Otie and talk about my issues with authority figures.

Thankful for you?

In which Cora & Jason make three attempts at recording a video blog post together.

Back to Work

I tried, as best I could, for the past week, to hold my tongue and focus on the joy of the elections.  I tried to revel in our successes, for there were many and they need celebrating.

But, it's time to get back at it.  First, I present this brilliant commentary by Keith Olbermann on the passing of marriage bans in California, Florida and Arizona last week, as well as all the bans that have already been passed.  He gets it and he speaks my heart.

Turning to the international stage, a horrific crime was committed in Somalia last week against a 13 year old girl.  I implore you to speak out on her behalf HERE. 

Still Celebrating

In which I sing about this past Tuesday's victories.

Can't fight this feeling...

To post, that is.

Feelings...nothing more than feelings...

According to CNN, Obama: 349, McCain: 163.

States I was wrong about: Virginia, Indiana (!!!), possibly North Carolina.

And Governor Gregoire is leading substantially in Washington state.  Hip, hip, hooray!!!

Many have said it, but I will echo their sentiments: Today, I am proud to be an American for the first time in a very long time.

Word.

Subtle differences, Obama still wins.  Fingers,

 toes, legs, arms, etc., firmly crossed.  Will be wearing my Caribou for Biden shirt tomorrow, for good luck.  Really, I should probably be wearing one of these to ward off the evil eye:
