I am tired! I am tired of the negativity, discrimination, hatred, bigotry, and the absurd amount of ignorance in response to the announcing of our nation's 44th president last Tuesday night.

Change-seekers, hope-ronauts: Put the champagne down. We are still light years away from victory. Last Tuesday night, having reveled in the beautiful blue metamorphosis of my home state of Virginia (due in part to my absentee ballot); having listened to my mom, through a cascade of tears, say "We did it, we did it" over and over, in dreamy disbelief; having watched Obama's victory speech in almost complete silence, muted by the sheer weight of the moment; having received exultant text messages from friends rallying in San Francisco, Portland and Richmond, and those in D.

Since the announcement, I have heard a number of responses and rumors.
