Meet the New Boss....

Same as the Old Boss?

New York was crazy tonight. People out on the streets at 2 AM, marching and chanting. Horns honking, songs singing.

As part of the after-celebration at my department I enjoyed a smoke with some SIPA students, all foreigners, who were kinda happy that Obama won but couldn't help but fault him for being an American, a capitalist, or something something something. Whatever, fuck them, bunch of commies. We voted today and we voted for a pair of rival candidates who are smart, patriotic and inspiring.

McCain's concession speech was gracious and enlightened. Obama's victory speech had me choked up at a few points. Both men are deserving of our respect and gratitude.
