Today I Retired The Button

Good bye to this:



This button graced the right column of this blog for many, many months. And now, it's time to move on to the next thing.

I imagine that all across the Blogosphere these kinds of renovations are underway. After all, I removed the Obama sign from the front yard only yesterday, but I still see lots of other signs and lots of buttons. People naturally want to hold on to the victory. But very, very soon, if it's not time already, it'll be important to leave the wonderful campaign behind and to start the next phase, influencing the government's policies. That, I think, will be much more challenging.
