I absolutely love it. This picture – or rather, one taken just seconds before or after it, but essentially the same image – has been on the home page of the Chicago Tribune’s site for weeks now.

Look at those little boys, the seriousness, the awe. Michael Jordan was great but this is so much more amazing. But I'm with Victoria, how come there are no little girls, at least little girls of color in this collection of pictures? Women are 51% percent of the population. There was an interview somewhere with Michelle O. where she talked about after Obama had clinched the dem nomination. And the day after, the family was talking about how historic the event was. And one of her daughters said, it would have been historic if Hillary Clinton had won, too, wouldn't it? From the mouths of babes.
