I'm thankful McCain lost, but an Obama presidency gets me about as giddy as I've been these past eight years under Bush. That is, not at all.
I sure felt left out when clusters of jaunty, overjoyed students screamed into the night, enthusiastically hugging each other in warm embrace, convinced their problems would evaporate with the passing old-world Bush years and that Barack Obama would fulfill every dream they envisioned in their unencumbered Election Night ecstasy.

Walking to class on Tuesday, I couldn't help but notice remnants of a rally decorating the steps of the Student Union. "End Islamophobia!" was scrawled on the sidewalk in chalk, and discarded posters read "Stop Bigotry!"
A flyer inside the Student Union explained that the rally was held to condemn a recent anti-Islamic hate crime that occurred at a Dayton, Ohio mosque.
