Even my aged Republican mother

[klook]

said it was touching to see all the Black people overwhelmed by emotion at the inauguration, especially the old timers like the Tuskegee Airmen.

Believe me, that is *way* out of character. She (unfortunately) listens to Rush Limbaugh almost every day.

She's a great person in many ways, but politically pretty stunted. So it was really encouraging to have that conversation with her.

2. Tell your mom that this 52-y.o. white woman was totally overwhelmed!

I'm glad mom might be coming around. My 81-year old dad has, sort of. He stayed up late on Nov. 4, but I don't know about yesterday.
He was a Clinton supporter, so he can't be that bummed.

Git off my lawn!

4. Some Republican friends of mine in NY -

father and two kids - who used to call me a "bleeding heart liberal" and give me no end of grief about my political views - all voted for Obama and she sent me a drink via facebook yesterday. What a change.
