Today is a day for mourning. And then there's hope.

Part of me feels like people who declare that abortion will be illegal within three years etc are just catastrophizing. This is not the Iranian revolution. We are not being taken over by the Revolutionary Guard. We live in a country with a very long tradition of freedom and not putting up with people who mess with said freedom. Thank God I don't live in Darfur. Etc.

The rest of me wants to curl up under the blankets with a boy and a box of Little Debbie snak cakes and not come out until 2008. The rest of me is kinda flipping out about what the hell will happen to my beloved country in the next 4 years. The rest of me doesn't want to stay hopeful and positive and look at this as a really good chance for the Democrats to get their shit together and figure out how to speak to other parts of the country (i.e. The South) and become the kick-ass party they used to be and show just how irrellevant the GOP's attitudes towards religion and foriegn policy can be. The rest of me is not happy.
