"Yes we can" is the new "We shall overcome"

I can't believe it but Barack Obama has made me cry with his "Yes We Can" speech. I wish I were recording this.

"Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity."
"Yes we can heal this nation."
"Yes we can change this world."

"We will remember there is something happening in America."
"That we are not as divided as we think."
"That we are one people."

I'm in love.

This is not a concession speech.

This is a battle cry.

Shakespeare and King would have been proud.

— -- Jimmy Carter, in a statement criticizing proposals to strike the word evolution from Georgia's science curriculum, replacing it with the less accurate term, "biological changes over time"; Cox complains that the word evolution is "a negative buzzword";
