Hope!

Lest my only reaction to the election results be a long, rambling post chastizing the GOP for the 8 years of mismanagement that resulted in their own self-immolation, let's have something positive to say! It's been difficult listening to Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" over the past 8 years, given that everything seemed bleak and dreary and any faint promise of hope seemed distant, more distant than the eye could see. Now that there's a real chance for progress, I can listen to the song again without a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat.

It's springtime, people... let idealism once again flourish!
