In addition to celebrating Martin Luther King today, and the spirit of service and the campaign for selflessness that has miraculously caught on in this country over the last few weeks, I can't help but share in the public ecstasy that is tomorrow's inauguration, even if I can't be in D.C. to witness it with my own eyes. The next four years could be the best of times and the worst of times, but I am so relieved to have intelligence and candor at the helm after 8 years of astonishing ethical and political squalor. On the night of the election, I wrote a kind of dorky poem for April and John Paul's election party (as I have done for the last 3 elections) expressing my hopes for the outcome. This was the first time those hopes were realized. Halleluah. (Art credit: Ben Heine)
