What a great feeling

Waking up today, I felt like a large weight had been lifted...however at the same time there's a realization that there's still a lot of work to do and we've got a lot of broken pieces to pick up and fix...but there's hope.

There's also the satisfying and cleansing feeling you get right after you take a huge dump.  I mean a really big smelly gratifying crap.  It's like expunging a mass of evil and waste from your bowels.  And this one had been building up for so long.  I feel like America just squared up on its haunches, sucked in a few big breaths, steadied themselves, and let loose the bowels of democracy in a torrent of ideological and political fecal matter, speckled with nuggets of intolerance and ignorance like so many kernels of corn and peanuts in a turd.  Now we must wipe the anus of America, be gentle as she has probably hemmoraged a bit from the strain, collectively pull up our pants, wash our hands, dry them on our shirts and get moving forward on the task ahead of us.
