I cannot believe I have to go to work

[hederahelix]

I have to go to work today. You cannot begin to believe how annoyed I am about this. I only work three days a week, right now, for ten hours, and what are the chances I have to work during the inauguration. (Day job resumes normal hours next week

But I also want to bitch slap the next commentator who says that King's dream has been realized

I do a little yelp at the TV every time I hear that. Grrr.

But yes, great post.

I mean, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that so many people have gone there, but really?

Really?

Ah hem.

Why is it that so many people are so reticent to understand that any moment we point to as progress is just as much a moment of proof of how far we have yet to go? It's not that hard a concept.

Dude! My favorite part of that vid was when the cat started biting him. :p

I know. and the fact that he didn't stop suggests this is a routine event.

I really liked that about Feinstein: she didn't say Dr. King's speech had been realized, she said it had finally made its way to the White House.

Oh hell yes.

Sometimes she does things that make me remember why I like her.

But we're not done. This is just the beginning. There's so much work left to do. Jay Smooth, I think, quoted Chuck D something to that effect in one of his other videos. Voting is like brushing your teeth. It's the start of it, but it's not the end of the work. It's just how you start the day.

That is so perfect. I think I'm going to steal that. lol

I was sort of embarrassed that I hadn't heard that quote before because it's so friggin' perfect.

The great work begins, indeed.

It's been following me around for days, running on repeat in my head. Because it's just so fitting.
