YA for Obama

Are you a member yet? Join if for nothing else than to read some of your favorite authors' (Judy Blume! Meg Cabot! John Green!) thoughts on the candidates. Look for me as Daphne Unfeasible.

I'm also thinking if this works -- keeping up with friend requests, etc. -- I may reconsider Facebook. We'll see.

(Lady) Optimism for teh win!

From Matthew Yglesias in The Atlantic on Obama's win of the Democratic nomination:

Sometimes the pessimists are right, but unless you sometimes assume they're wrong then nothing's ever going to happen.
