obama wins

here's my obama reaction previously in an 11/10 email.

FRIENDS
I WAS AND AM SIMPLY HAPPY ABOUT OBAMA'S ELECTION. CELEBRATING IS OF COURSE COMPLICATED BY CELEBRATING IN OKLAHOMA WHERE NO COUNTY GAVE HIM A MAJORITY, THE OBNOXIOUS OKLAHOMAN IS OFFERING A COPY OF THEIR FRONT PAGE FOR SALE FOR MEMORIES AND KIDS ARE FIGHTING OVER RACE POSTELECTION AT CAPITOL HILL. BUT HERE'S TWO VERSIONS OF CELEBRATING WITH SIMPLE JOY THE DAY THAT WE TRULY NEVER IMAGINED WOULD HAPPEN AND WHICH REASSURE ME THAT MY DAYS MARCHING AND MY LIFE SINCE GET SOME SMALL REWARD FROM THE REAL WORLD

HERE'S A LIFT FROM AN EMAIL FROM RICHARD WHITMAN'S FRENCH FRIEND PIERRE REMINDING US THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS AMAZED; CHECK OUT HIS SITE THAT GIVES IT LIFE: http://lobstein.pierre.free.fr/obamerica.htm

my beloved penguins are having a few long years. disney loves them but global warning does not. conservatives, after watching March of the Penguins, have chosen them as representative of monogamy when they pair up to parent for a year in antartica. but they are the subject of outrage when two males pair up in a public zoo and raise a son placed with them - particularly when a children's book, And Tango Makes Three, details all this.

so today i offer the cover and links to two pages:
wikipedia about the book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Tango_Makes_Three
and a page with more of the story told well. read about the swedish lady penguin brought in to try to convert two gay penguins in a german zoo: Gay penguin couple accused of stealing eggs from straights.
[i'm not sure if i just made a link - it printed up underlined; if not: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-9701.html.]

NEW START WITH AN OLD FRIEND. ARRANGING AND SCANNING PICTURES AND FOUND AN OLD ORIGINAL QUICK SKETCH FROM WALT KELLY, THE CREATOR OF POGO. I WAS IN COLORADO SPRINGS FOR A LECTURE BY HIM IN ABOUT 1963. AT THE END HE RIPPED OFF SKETCHES FROM HIS SKETCH PAD. I LOVE TO GO BAK TO HIM - HE SKEWERED THOSE WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SKEWERED BACK THEN. HERE'S A SCAN OF MY 'ORIGINAL', A HAPPY PICTURE AND A SMALL VERSION OF A SIMPLE TRUTH HE COINED
