OK, sorry I have been gone guys. It is weird but I feel like I've been neglecting my kids! Anyway, I've been away working on pub stuff for the books. But I see now that Obama has clinched it. Obviously I have a rush of thoughts and feelings, but this is my major one--Barack Obama is on the precipice of becoming the most powerful black man since the whole concept of "blackness" was invented. I mean this dude could nuke a country. Sorry, but for those who came up under Reagan, Bush etc., the idea of a black man with his finger on the button is mind-blowing in so many incredible ways--and most of them aren't very positive. I need to think on this some more. But if any of you are reading, I'd love to hear some thoughts.
