In the fews days since the hate-filled decision by the CA Supreme Court to create a bizarre 3 part system of apartheid in regards marriage, I came upon this commentary from MSNBC's Keith Olbermann posted to Daily Kos. I could not agree more nor say it better as a member of the now totally unprotected minority of people that may not legally marry. I live in NY state but this nontheless impacts me both strongly and directly.

President Obama's First East Room Prime Time Speech
My early childhood memory of JFK come back to me. The world is indeed watching and hoping that the United States can once again return to the moral leadership of the world. It seems to me we just might.

President Obama's Stimulus Speech Dem Caucus Retreat
Say what anyone will to attempt to negate this man's greatness, you'll not likely convince me or the world. Underestimate him at your own peril naysayers.

DemConWatch Called This "An Instant Classic"
I could not agree more. My earliest childhood memories were of the inauguration of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in 1961 and I have to say even that cannot compare to the wonderful events about to unfold 21 Jan 2009.

President-Elect Barack Obama's Victory Speech
Grant's Park in Chicago about 23.30 EST(-5GMT):
I am near tears still this next day, overwhelmed by the joy of a renewed hope for this world I thought had disappeared from the world in the few years of my boyhood from 1963-1968 in which I saw Jack Kennedy gunned down in Dallas, Dr. King killed in Memphis, and Bobby Kennedy killed in LosAngeles. yes we can :)

A Most Courageous Act By The Republican Mayor of San Diego, CA
The following video is amazingly poignant. In it the Republican Mayor of San Diego, CA decides to support a city council resolution supporting an amicus brief in favor of gay marriage in California. Please take the time to view this. There are truly some great Republicans left and this calms me, even on the verge of this historic Democratic election in which I strongly hope and believe Barack Obama will be chosen as the 44th President of the US.

Election Night 2008 (US) With Dan Rather On HDNET
My personal plans for next Tuesday night are to watch the election night return on HDNET. Dan Rather Reports hosts the coverage with my personal favorite "number's person" Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com. I'm probably showing my age but I trust Dan Rather SO much more than ANY major network news or even second tier cable network. CBS made a HUGE mistake imo when they dumped Mr. Rather for Katie Couric. Take a glace at the video preview below to get a sense of why I'll be viewing HDNET in this crucial time when the US selection of our 44th president is counted and made known to a very anxious nation and world.
