I am amending this post at 11pm EST.

AMERICA IS GREAT AGAIN.

Doug Jones was just declared the winner in Alabama.

I pledged $25 every day for the last month as my way of casting a vote for  sanity, justice and the American way.

The Doug Jones campaign was well run and I would personally like to thank all Alabamans for voting their conscience.

I never thought that anything Alabaman other than Nick Saban and the University of Alabama football team would make me such a fan of the the great state of Alabama.

A shout-out to African American women in Alabama who stepped up and made their voices heard.

A high five to Charles Barkley who returned to his home state to deliver an impassioned plea to voters, urging them not to cast their ballots for Moore and his rallying cry, “At some point, we gotta stop looking like idiots to the nation.”

A huge thank you to the 22,000 write in votes!!

I went to sleep early tonight because I could not face another Trump reality.

My daughter, Courtny, just called to say that Doug Jones was declared the winner.

I did not think that I could feel this hopeful in 2017.

I am truly overwhelmed.

Roy Moore lost.

Agent Orange lost.

Steve Bannon lost.

Racism lost.

Pedophilia lost.

Anti-semitism lost.

Homophobia lost.

Prejudice lost.

Long live common decency.

America is back, baby!!
