Let's see; some U.S. Presidents. We've had George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt. Ronald Reagan, William Clinton, John Kennedy. George Bush, Howard Taft, Jimmy Carter. Harry Truman, Andrew Johnson, and Abraham Lincoln. Today we elected Barack Hussein Obama the 44th president of the United States. That's right people. It's huge.
I'm sad about Proposition 8 in California and similar measures in other states (though not surprised), but in general really proud of my country right now (I have no illusions that this feeling will last, but still it's something).
As my mother wrote in an e-mail this morning, "the people have been redeemed."

Here and here are some photos on the Slog from the Prop 8 protest in Seattle.
There was even a naked protester...or just a nudest taking advantage of the opportunity.
