It occurs to me that many of you may be feeling … giddy.

Strange. Light, as though made of air. Oddly carefree. Unexpectedly awesome. A little tingly in the ganglia.

Euphoric, almost.

Don't see your shrink: you don't need therapy.

Stay away from the medicine cabinet (or wherever you get your fix); you don't need a drug.

This is feeling of a side effect of a process we proles like to call doing the right thing. It's no coincidence that it happened after you repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell. It can be heady and quite addictive … but this, take it from me is good trouble.

You may be wondering how you can get this more often. It's closer than you think. Take a look at everything that would have improved the public good, and strengthened the country: the DREAM act, single-payer health care.

Think about it. You can experience this feeling again.

All you have to do is cater a little more often to the people what elected you.

You can have it any time. It's yours to reach out and grasp.

No need to ask your doctor if doing the right thing is right for you. You know it is.

It was the way you were raised, back when you weren't famous and powerful.

Go for it.
