 The 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Photography was awarded to Damon Winter of The New York Times "for his memorable array of pictures deftly capturing multiple facets of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign." Check out his amazing portfolio here (or here).

Okay, so I've failed to live up to the requirements of NaBloPoMo after only three days. But I think tonight merits an exception. I am drunk on a hybrid of JOY and HOPE and apple martini. I only had one of the latter, but even after, four glasses of water and over an hour of digestion, I can barely type straight. Or walk straight. Thank goodness the bar I chose was only three short blocks away! (Had intellectual policy discussion with random guy named Sebasitian. Don't know where I got the impression people that go to bars aren't the type of person I'd be interested in. I wasn't interested in this guy, buty his polictical savvy was nice. Yeah, that description made no sense. Se above, re: drunk on a single appletime. Am a total lightweiht, but OBAMA WOO!)
My god, people. We elected a BLACK MAN named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. We finally proved that anyone can be President, even a kid born to a single-parent household, raised by his grandparents. We showed that a campaign of hope can triumph over a campsign tailored to fearmongering and divisiveness. \MICHELLE OBAMA is going to be out First Lady! She is opinionated and fiercely determined, and she will do great things of the office. Sasha and Malia are adorable and genuine, and I look toward to seeing what dog they choose. Biden is honest and has strong roots in the communities he grew up, the complete anyithesis of Chenes. And the SUPEREME COURT! My god, we don't have to worry about more Rebupican appointees stacking the court. And I see how many spelling mistakes I'm making, but I'm too joyous and drunk off only ONE apple martini to care. Good grief, that was strong. I feel like I've had two or more. Hope I don't have an hangover tomorrow--boss is a Republican, and he frowns on political discussions in the office. (So naturally, we discuss plitics when he's not present.) I feel like sitting here is making me ever nore drunk, even though my lisp have not toughted alcohol since McCain finished his speech, through that's probably me getting tired. I was up at 5:45 this morning, after all. And I know I'm making spelling mistakes, but I'm too amused to correct them. I'm going to go to sleep and dream of four--nay eight--years of an Obama administration. I'm so happy with the direction the country has chosen.

A DailyKos blogger presents a year-by-year break down of Palin & Obama resumes. It has an unashamedly liberal bias, but then again--to paraphrase Stephen Colbert--so does reality.

I finally contributed macros to ontd_political's Shenanigans Friday! I love Shenanigans Friday so much.
And woah. Just spotted McCain's Patronizing "Congratulatory" Message to Obama "How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day"? Here, McCain, I fixed it for you: "How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day concerning a man who I once voted against honoring with a national holiday." Also, the "achievement of our opponent" was "noticed" by 38.4 million people, nearly a fourth of US households--more than the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and the American Idol finals. It is believed to have set a TV record. I'd like to see you fill a stadium with eighty thousand-plus passionate supporters, or make the Democratic equivalent of Pat Buchanan gush so profusely over the content of a speech you wrote that he had to be forcibly interrupted for time constraints. "Unnoticed." Ha. Oh, and next time you want to look sincere, hire a better acting coach. And a lighter that won't make you look like you're filming in a cave.

Four years ago, I posted the following in my blog:

Check out this new John McCain ad. In this message approved by the Senator, the narrator claims, "Beautiful words cannot make our lives better."
I beg to differ. "I love you." Ironic that "Love" is the name of the spot. Labels: obama is awesomesauce Priscilla said at 8:32 PM

Last night, I dreamed that Obama had polio, but he still managed to win Dancing With the Stars.
WTF, brain. Anyway, today continues my Unending Work Week Streak. I've had one day off since Memorial Day, and I'll be working both today and tomorrow and all through next week. Hopefully I'll get next weekend off. Why did my job have to wait until I had a boyfriend to get crazy?

FIST BUMP OF LIBERTY!
 (larger versions here) From Best Week Ever: "Barack and Michelle Obama last night, celebrating the Democratic presidential nomination he so rightly deserves, and being just about the cutest, coolest couple imaginable while doing so. I'm really glad our next president is the kind of dude who fist-bumps his wife (everyone knows high-fiving is for Republicans)." And the promised Crazpants Terry McAuliffe clip.

*chortles* Terry McAuliffe is on the Daily Show. This is funnier than any Democratic primary parody I've ever seen. I'll post a link when it goes up on thedailyshow.com tomorrow. XD

You have lost. Endorse Obama and concede with dignity. You are a laughingstock. You are such an amazing person. You have done so much for this country, and you will do so much more! Why are you cheapening yourself with this charade? Edit: Mmm, there you are, Obama. Soothe my Hillary ire! He and Michelle just exchanged a fist bump. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH BE MY FIRST FAMILY NOW PLZ.

Tonight, I'm taking a bus to D.C. for a spontaneous day trip! As tomorrow's weather looks ominous, I'm planning to take the MUSEUMS! route rather than the MONUMENTS! route. Fred has been gathering recommendations here. So far, the International Spy Museum is sounding the most appealing, but I am also drawn to the Mall's sheer concentration of awesome museums. I'll have to research more this afternoon.
To catch up on my blogging: Friday night, I went on a date that included food and an Improv Everywhere event. Alex and I were both excited about it, but the event ended up crashing and burning. The idea was cool, but it was raining, and the IE folks had difficulty coordinating everything, and we ended up standing out in the rain and wind with an inadequate umbrella on the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge for an hour and a half. My light jacket wasn't really up for the chore. And the umbrella broke from the wind ten minutes before we left, so we got soaked. When I got home and saw myself in the mirror, my skin was bloodless white. I looked like a consumptive waif. I had to sit in a hot bath for twenty minutes before I felt like a human again. Yet shockingly, I had a great time. The dinner beforehand was excellent (Thai!), and conversation was fun. We're never short of fodder for discussion, and he's just the right amount of geeky that I feel neither like a hopeless dork nor somehow inadequate in my geekishness. And Saturday, Alex is going to cook dinner for me, so I call this major win. :D Linkspam: Obama Adopted into Crow Nation. I. Love. This. Man. Can he be my president RIGHT NOW? Steven Moffat to be Doctor Who Lead Writer and Executive Producer! YEEE! Two new videos from Potter Puppet Pals! Cover for Pterry's upcoming Nation!

Still working on the NYCC post and a post about my daaaaaaaaaaate last Friday (no, not with the Gaiman guy--loser still hasn't called me), but in the meantime... I was on the news in Japan! Strange, I didn't remember the camera crew, but I guess I just assumed they were associated with the event itself and shooting coverage.
For those that missed it, here's the ad! It's now one of the top 15 finalists. Labels: fame, i'm huge in japan, obama is awesomesauce Priscilla said at 9:36 AM
