    No, Mr. Wright, God bless America.

    I know it is the obvious, but I don't think any of us truly grasp the full meaning of Holy Shit A Black Guy Got Nominated For President just yet.

    All I can think about is how my late father worked his ass off for three decades to help African-Americans gain improved voting rights, getting up early and staying up late to get people out to vote. This moment is for him and those like him who helped plow the roads to make this possible. This is a proud night. As an African-American male, I will never forget this night and the meaning of what is happening in this nation.

    Here's a cold Budweiser for you, Dad.....

    It's starting to sink in for me right now.

    That letter on Facebook was chilling.

    He did it. He fucking did it.

    Actually, it's the only reason I'm watching CNN right now.
     
  7. I agree with you. However, I look forward to the day it's NOT a story, you know? That will be when we've really made progress.

    "Chilling?"

    So I went back and re-read the "letter."

    "Chilling?"

    So...um...words still, like, mean stuff, right? So "chilling" would mean "I got chills," right? And you were talking about that "letter," right?

    Wow. I wonder if Slate still does their Obama Messiah watch...I need to drop them a link.

    In terms of "Holy Shit, A Black Man Just Got Nominated For President"?

    Yeah. Chilling.

    I stand by my word.

    Obama being nominated? OK, maybe, someone can get chills. This is an undeniably historic moment, though of course it'd be nice if so very much of his campaign wasn't so based on the color of his skin.

    But the half-assed facebook message tossed off by some campaign intern? That gave you chills? It just seems...melodramatic.

    His speech here in Minneapolis, in the first part anyway, sounded awfully close to being ready to ask her to jump on the ticket.
    He lauded the hell out of she and Bill's accomplishments!
    I guess we'll see soon enough,
