What?? I don't see anything on this...

Byrd is OK, Kennedy is still questionable but did have a problem.

Well, it has degenerated into talking heads at this moment. Sort of a boring parade at this time.

It looks like he collapsed into convulsions.

Well, he has been ill. I'm glad he got to be there! But I hope he'll be okay.

pshrynk · 01-20-2009, 04:29 PM

Wow. Our new President can walk faster than the limo! He really is Superman!

So, at the risk of sound all jingoistic, this has been one of the top days of my life. Bush is gone. A new President is in. He sounds like someone who is dedicated to getting things done. He may turn out to be lousy. I'm not starry eyed. But for the sake of my country and the world, I am hoping that he turns out to be what I hope he is, rather than what others fear he may be.

Now, there are an estimated five billion people joining me in watching this moment. 5,000,000,000. That's a lot of zeros. I have this congnitive dissonance of feeling very very small, and very very immense all at the same time.

The United States of America, an white majority nation with a speckled past, has elected the son of an immigrant, who is half black and half white, who four years ago was just a state senator as our leader.

Amen brother! Testify!

Welcome home, W! If only you'd found a way to disconnect us from the rest of the US, it'd have been perfect. Come by sometime when Mindy isn't around. We'll have a Pearl and talk Rangers.... RED

hm. Red certainly gets the job done when you're in need of a gumshoe, but he seems to have some very questionable frequentations...

I let in a talking dog, talking socks, and hire a fairy (I still thinks she'd an angel) as a receptionist. I'm supposed to gag at a not-too-bright ex-President from back home who used to own the local pro baseball team droppin' by for a beer? Shucks, maybe he likes fishing....

Nothing at all, nor anything against talking dogs, pet cats, angels, or local boys done good....

It was rather strange in DC today. Lots of things I've never seen before. I offer the enclosed to show you what I mean.
