I must point out the contrasting editorial images

  Last time.

This time.


I just feel so much better!  I've been ashamed of our country for nearly 10 years.  Genuinely embarrassed by our idiocy and childishness.  I've felt marginalized and disenfranchised by an administration I could not in good conscience ever support.  For eight years America has been well and truly fucked up by partisanship, ignorance, and fear.  I prefer hope, education, and unity.  That is my America and I look forward to its rebuilding.

Thanks for the tip and the link for that cartoon, btw. :D I was gonna go with David Horsey, but this one is much more succinct.

Don't you feel good!? Today is A GOOD DAY, and I'm going to savor it. *cries like a happy man again*

I join you in rebuilding our America into something we can truly be proud of.

I was moved near to tears repeatedly watching the coverage this morning. It feels good to be proud again. (And btw, I may be stealing your icon in a minute. ;) )
