Dear World,

This is what the new face of America looks like. )

Yeah, you know all about it already, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Love,

Me.


It's still sinking in. It'll be a while before I completely process the fact that this is really, really happening. I'm feeling seventy different things at once, and all of them are good.

I'll be voting later today, so this is (probably) the last pre-election vid I'll post (don't everyone cheer at once). I wasn't going to post any more at all, but this one's just too good not to spread around some:

And so, it begins.

And now, I'm going to bed.

Thanks, guys.

And now, the final episode of the U.S. Democratic Primary Race, starring Hillary Clinton as the Fat Lady.

Thank every god in the universe, it's finally over.

US faction of flist, take a few minutes out to watch this speech, even if you're not planning on voting for Barack Obama. Because as [livejournal.com profile] newleaf31 says, it's a message that needs to be heard.

Everyone else might want to watch it, too. Forget the steretypes forged by people like Rush and Dubya and Fox News. This is what an honest-to-goodness American sounds like:





It's been a long time since I've felt this proud to be an American. It's an unfamiliar feeling given the current climate, but such a welcome one. This is a speech for the history books.

This documentary needs to be watched, especially during one of the most important election campaigns in US history.

There's nothing new here, but as far as I know it's never before been compiled in one place by anyone who's not Michael Moore or an antiwar activist group, and certainly not aired in prime time by a mainstream network:


The Fifth Estate: Lies That Led to War (Click on the picture of the White House on the right, then right-click and fullscreen).


Warnings: Graphic images of war and disturbing footage of Ann Coulter being herself.

Surprise cameo appearance by John McCain (I honestly didn't expect it).

I've had the basics of this post for days. Apparently I'm going through a lazy phase. Or maybe I'm just plain lazy.

  • First of all, [livejournal.com profile] stormymouse, I did indeed get your card and the gentlemen who came with it. You guys are the best ever. :) I'm a little afraid to try him out. I need some courage, dudes.

  • Fannish meme from [livejournal.com profile] aukestrel, among others:

    mix-'n-match meme )

  • Speaking of [livejournal.com profile] aukestrel: This thread makes me want to make a dS Tarot Deck. Like, a real one. I bet there are places online where you can put your own images on cards and things. Anyone know of one?

  • [livejournal.com profile] mr_t00by's birthday was yesterday. He's eighteen, OMG. Yesterday we went to the Chapel as one of his presents. We stood up almost the whole time because standing room has a much better view of the field than the bleacher seats. Two national anthems, three-ish hours and thirteen runs (nine of ours, four of theirs) later the Sox had won, which means that I can hold my head up in Toronto next week. The only problem is, now the Evil Empire is in second place. [livejournal.com profile] eltonroo, you must throw Good Wishes at your team so they can pull back ahead of the Yankees. Just the Yankees, mind you, and after today's game. Don't go getting carried away or anything.

  • Fannish Notice: [livejournal.com profile] scally has posted some high-quality screencaps from Murder Most Likely over here (three guesses which one is my favourite). Usually MML caps are blurry unless you make them tiny but these are sharp and clear and good-sized. [livejournal.com profile] scally has now taught me how to get the same results: stop the video before capping. It takes longer, but I tried it today on something else and it worked! Yay!

  • Speaking of picspam, these are gorgeous:four hi-res pictures under here )

    Oh, Martha. They're from this play which I had no idea ever existed. I really, really wish I could have seen it. I need a way-back machine. More pictures are here. Left click on "right click to download" to see the hi-res versions or, um. Right click to download. :)

  • Still not have seen OotP. I was supposed to today, but the friend I was going with didn't call me and I have to work this afternoon anyway. Bleh.

  • My hair is short. Like short. Maybe I'll post a picture sometime if I can have someone take one I could bear posting. I like the hair, mind you. It's just pictures of myself in general I can't stand.

  • Still not sure who I'm voting for in the Democratic primary, although Dennis Kucinich is saying some interesting things about some of my top issues, like health care, NAFTA, immigration and climate change. I don't agree with his take on all of the issues but for the most part I think he makes a lot of sense. I don't think he has a huge chance of winning the primary, let alone being elected President, but boy, he makes me think. I have to look at everyone else, too; he's just the one I started with because [livejournal.com profile] songdog said I should. *g*

  • Two cool bits of trivia I learned recently:

    • Keifer Sutherland's grandfather was Tommy Douglas.
    • Andrea Yeager is now an Episcopal nun.
