Comebacken på allas läppar

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that King Kolo is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

Its the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this blog has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - bloggläsare who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the King Kolo.

Its the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

Its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to King Kolo.

Demokratin har talat. Det blev en jordskredsseger för ja-sidan och därmed står det klart. Nu gör jag comeback på Facebook. Det ska bli väldigt spännande att återigen ta del av denna gemenskap, och en gång för alla lämna utanförskapet. Change we can believe in!

Det är en egenskap jag aldrig har hycklat med att jag har.
