Small update: the rate that housing in DC is going for Obama's upcoming inauguration, I think we can massively capitalize C&P by renting out the office for the week! I've seen rates that are, frankly, astounding, but I guess that's what happens when as many as 4 million (!) people come to DC for the historic event. For comparison, the last Bush inauguration had a crowd of about 150,000 (National Park Service estimate). That's inflation!

I appreciate how difficult that must have been for you, Jim, and I agree that "woohoo" is exactly how I felt too! :>

It's utterly joyous and amazing.

The bummer in the joy are the various anti-gay marriage initiatives, including the loathsome Prop 8 in California. I find it hard to believe and sad that people would vote for a initiative that is presented as Changes the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California..

Well, anti-abortion stuff went down in flames...maybe we can fix this sooner rather than later.

Obama's making it does give me hope for the rest. Painful and too slow, but justice will come to everyone.
