Geeze, Louise.

I was talked to my friend Kelsey today and I said to her, "Sometimes, when I want to laugh, I think about the past and hope that the future is just as funny."
I reminded her, on this Election Day 2008, that we sang the Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States of America, on a rooftop in Kathmandu, Nepal on July 4th.
In his acceptance speech, Barack Obama addresed the dark corners of the world where people are seemingly forgotten by the greater world and stated that, "Our story is singular but our destiny is shared."
