Caribou Barbie...haul your ass back to Alaska

I am thrilled beyond words at the sweeping victory of Barack Obama and so proud that Americans looked beyond race in electing him president. I'm filled with almost as much glee that we are done hearing about Sarah Palin ( I hope ) and that she takes TODDDDDDDDDDD, the knocked up teenager and her deer in headlights fiance, the poster child for pro-life and special needs, and the rest of the dysfunctional family she's been parading in front of the nation back to Alaska and we are done with her. Also.
As the mom to a child of color, I can tell him with certainty that he absolutely could be president someday. Except that he was born in Uzbekistan, so he couldn't.
Speaking of my son, he suddenly has become a meat eater. It started with pot roast last week, stuffed peppers on Monday night and steak enchiladas this evening. We'll work on vegetables next.
My grand plan for the future is to somehow find a company that is willing to donate some playground equipment to his former orphanage. Several kids were adopted from there in the last year, and the four moms involved are all in this together. So if anyone reading this knows someone who can get us a huge, kidsafe, durable playground set, please let me know.
