Speechless

Dudes, I am speechless after yesterday. First of all, it was my mom's birthday and SJ Lapponka finished her film, which usually would be more than enough dirt. But on top of that, I spent all day glued to the television, watching history being made at the DNC.

An African-American has been nominated for President. I can't believe it. I've been tearing up all week; I've never been prouder.

As I watched everything go down in Mile High Stadium, I kept thinking about what the Founding Fathers would say if they could have seen it. Dig it: Participation back in the day was a bunch of white dudes in wigs who rode in on horseback. Today, it's a football stadium with live music and a guy named Barack Obama talking. Could any of them ever have imagined it?

I think they, too, would have been speechless.

If the founding fathers could have seen it, they would have told him to get his ass back to the plantation, racist douchebags that they were.
