Charles Homans of the Washington Monthly has my favorite Obama celebration anecdote so far (article not online):
We walked to the White House. It wasn't far away, and it seemed like the thing to do. The crowd we met on 17th Street looked like they were in a nocturnal Fourth of July parade, but with no floats and a lot more drunk twenty-one-year-olds; by the time we reached 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., the atmosphere had devolved into something like a goofy college party. "In Obama's America there will be no pants!" one of the kids shouted toward the White House.
Change has come to America. Yes we can!
I'm in. As long as we can wait until, say...April.
