This morning, a personal friend who worked on the Obama campaign had a status update on his [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/home.php) page saying he was “waking up in Barack Obama’s America.”

[Paging Gene Healy](http://www.catostore.org/index.asp?fa=ProductDetails&method=&pid=1441383)!

I understand my friend’s enthusiasm, but was obliged to comment, “No, it’s still ours. But congrats — his election is a welcome change.”
