In reply to 9) OK, let's keep thinking

given our whole debate about warren's invocation, i should have added non-believer to the mix of groups. That's probably the last thing we'll ever see, at least a non-believer who's out of the closet...

Hah! Good guess. But I didn't

In reply to Either Warren or Orlando will

Hah! Good guess. But I didn't actually say that. Two weeks of sub-zero temperatures made DC almost balmy. I wasn't really cold at all except toward the end of the swearing in when we'd been standing still for a couple hours. And then, it was really only my feet. Otherwise, it was fine.

haha. good point acanuck. but i'd actually be surprised if he doesn't eventually work hard to rehabilitate his reputation with some good work and charitable activity. he's a young man, and while we know he likes his ranch and texas, i'm hoping he continues some of the important work he did for africa (one of the very few good things he did during his administration).

if he ends up just trying to use his title as ex-president to make money by giving speeches, i'll be shocked.

In reply to 1) Isn't it awesome that

No reference to Dr. King. A couple of subtle, appropriate references to the civil rights struggle to note the historical significance of the moment. I suppose the fact that Obama made several King references on Monday took away the necessity for any further mention of the man. But i think there's no doubt that the good Dr. did more than almost any man to make this dream a reality.

Springsteen never sucks.

CBC is sending a team down to view things from a Canadian perspective. I'll give that a shot, along with CNN. And I'll tune in Dagblog for in-depth analysis.
