This... is a historic moment

Well, Obama won. That's a historic moment.

And another important historic moment to remember from the books of history (see all the way down this blog for more info):
Susan B. Anthony Breaks US Law to Vote (1872). She defied US law and voted in the presidential election, asserting that the 14th Amendment entitled her to do so. She was arrested and fined, but her actions drew great attention to the women's rights movement.

Who let the dogs out?

While US citizens are voting their new president, I believe it's time for a nice anecdote:

Following Barack Obama's election to the U.S. Senate (for Illinois) in 2004, Arizona Senator John McCain was asked whether he had met his new colleauge. "I spoke to him on the phone today," McCain replied. "I told him Harry Truman said the truest thing. He said, 'If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.'"

I wonder how many dogs there are in Washington.
