Pushing My Cart Along.

I think we kind of just elected Mr. Terrific.

As of now, it looks like the California constitution will be amended specifically for the purpose of eliminating the right of people to marry whomever they wish. The Californians I know who didn't vote because of their issues with the presidential race have a lot to answer for. Consider yourself On Notice.

I may update this tomorrow, after everyone's had some rest, but the question that's in my head is:

What's on your Obama Victory mixtape?

I know that Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher" was played in Grant Park just before Obama's speech. ojouchan kept thinking of The Wiz, and fell asleep trying to decide on which Mahalia Jackson song was the most perfect. I've seen references to Steely Dan and Sheryl Crow recently, too. I know there are more, we'll think about it tomorrow.

Unsurprisingly, I'm thinking about Stew's music again. Unfortunately, it's nowhere on YouTube or much of anywhere, so be very careful with this mp3 of "Heidegger in Harlem."

Now the preacher's wearing boxing gloves, the crowd is with him now.
He's punching out the demons of the state.
Even Malcolm smiles, adjusts his tie in the book store window,
He says, "Take me home now, Preacher, I can't wait."

History clock
Don't make no tick-tock.
It won't tell the time,
So which watch should be mine?
It won't plant the seeds
Which whisper through the trees
And sway on the song
That pushes my cart along.
