Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

So beautiful:

I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years, block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And speaking of database management, I just got a thank-you note from Barack Obama.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I saw Michelle just say "love you" as she kissed him.

I love Michelle.

Barb, I took Hil's link to mean a kind of countdown until Bush is officially out.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

This guy is just eloquent as hell. He makes it look so easy!

I'm no longer embarassed at the idea of what our President will sound like to the rest of the world!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oof. When Michelle came out and they kissed, she said, "I love you."
