Yes We Can
I just can't get tired of watching or listening to this. I was prepared to vote for Obama as the best of all the candidates, but it wasn't until this video, this speech, that I felt that... urge.

Potter Fic?
Fellow Potterheads, I'm looking for some good HP-fic. A few things, though... not interested in NC-17 or slash or any kind of non-canon ship.
