America sucks ass but today I felt happy for the first time in four years. I honked my horn and whooped and hollered and fist-pumped random strangers. I banshee shrieked and jumped up and down. I threw my head back and howled. The last time I felt this relieved was when American Airlines found my 13K worth of camera gear that they had managed to lose on a flight from Chicago to DC after two and a half weeks.
