Ton of Bricks To See You, Sir
I've been so caught up in other things—and I don't watch cable news, so I missed the talking heads pounding this thought into jello earlier this week—that it really only hit me the other morning as I listened to Barack Obama's speech from Tuesday night courtesy the Democracy Now! podcast:
A black man has won a major party's nomination for President of the United States. In my lifetime. I lived to see it.
Whatever else happens, I am happy that I was around to see this happen. Congratulations, Senator, and I hope I can make a similar post in November as you become the first black man to be elected President of the United States.
