The XX Factor: What women really think.

Post-Election Washington Musings

I am…

Wondering why it takes a week to count fewer than 350,000 votes in Alaska.

Anticipating D.C. getting its party plans on for our own version of Grant Park on Jan. 20.

Witnessing spontaneous conversations in public places between white people and people of color. (See Chris B. and Chris W.’s hilarious instructions for white people in The Root.)

Reassured by the assembling and assessing of financial experts to FIX IT!

Enjoying the inside-baseball gossip, mentioning, and positioning for the plum assignments.  

Picturing Malia and Sasha playing with their puppy in the White House and appreciating hope and change.

Weeping at the Civil Rights images every time I look at them.
