post to no one in particular

Tonight I got teary watching McCain's heartfelt and most gracious concession speech, and Obama's equally heartfelt and inspiring acceptance speech.

Sure, much of that was because of the hormones still coursing through my body, but mostly, I believe for the first time since I was a little girl that anybody can grow up to be anything they want to be, and that anything is possible, and that if enough people want something truly good to happen, it will.

And I'm very happy that I can tell Corndog and Tater Tot those very things, and not feel like I'm lying, and that maybe, just maybe, they will believe me and will grow up to be community organizers or something equally heinous.

And a tiny little part of me just has to throw in a hearty "Fuck You" to anyone who sincerely believes (this means you, Baby Daddy) that the world is an awful, fucked up place into which no new human lives should be brought because what possible good could come of it? I hope you and your ilk die a lonely, bitter death watching the rest of us make this a better place.
