ISRAEL TO PULL OUT OF GAZA IN HONOR OF OBAMA! =D
I'm so mushy.
I cried just now watching Rachel Maddow talk about Obama's impending inauguration.
Israeli troops will be - every last one of them - pulled out of Gaza by the end of Inauguration Day tomorrow. Why? In honor of the new president.
Yeah, that's what made me cry.
It's amazing. I'm still in awe of this. I mean, the post-election high wore off a few weeks into November, but now... it's back again. For me, at least. I'm just giddy. I'm positively elated. Enthused. Euphoric. Ecstatic. Jubilant. Delighted. Gleeful. Overjoyed, beside myself, and over the fucking moon with this.
The Citizen Briefing Book was decided on today - a list of 10 issues voted on by people on the internet (at least everyone who knew about it). There were a few issues that - however much I may agree - seemed kind of insultingly frivolous. I agree with the decriminalization of marijuana, for example, but for that to be the number 1 issue?! It's kinda stupid.
However, #8 was to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Church of Scientology, an organization I have some major issues with. That made me very very very happy. :)
Israel is already pulling out of the Gaza Strip as I type this now, and they hope to be completely withdrawn by the end of the Inauguration tomorrow. This alone is practically a miracle, among a few months full of miracles. A black President. Bush declared a war criminal. The Cult of $cientology slowly deteriorating due to several well-placed hits to the PR, and now possibly losing their tax exempt status. And now this...
....sorry, I gotta go weep with joy again.
I love America. I love it so much. I love YOU so much. All of you. Even those of you I hate. I love you.
Happy Inauguration Day.
