What does a Blogger IN MOURNING wear?

Black. Basic, basic black. I am disappointed over the Election results tonight, although closer to home, there is still hope for our City Council and the Propositions we believed so strongly in ... to come out on top. But the Presidential race is over and I am just as down as down can be ...

NO, there will be no drowning-of-my-sorrows. I've made my decision - I'm going to be a good sport about the outcome of this Election, and I'm going to ... dress in whatever color I want, because this IS America and we DO get to choose. We get to choose the level of grace we move forward with ...
