Finally home, with my car settled and all of that, and I was able to sit back and watch Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton's speeches at the DNC. Both brought tears to my eyes and filled me with renewed hope that we can have a future closer to what it should be, rather than the reality that we have now.

Hillary did fabulous, and actually, my favorite part of both speeches was her dig: It's no surprise that George Bush will be with John McCain next week in the twin cities ... you can't tell them apart anymore. (Cue the gong! Loved it!) And Michelle was just lovely; I just flat-out like her. I admire her and believe her and in her ... like her husband. Speaking of ...

Yay for Democracy!!! Barack Obama is the official Democratic Nominee!!!
