Happy US Presidential Inauguration Day! I'm watching things on MSNBC. Someone just said, "There's less fear now." Well, sure. Darth Cheney will never officially be president, now. I feel better about the world already.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Toast and coffee: Michelle Obama brought Laura Bush a present. How classy! (Especially considering the whole Blair House nonsense.)

Ah, Peaceful Regime Change Day, how I have longed for you... welcome.
Oh, Cash, that's a crap thing to happen, and I hope you can shake it off and reclaim your happy soon.
I turned the TV on just in time to see them entering the White House. Yeah, so, going to be a happy, weeping mess today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh man, the choir is giving me flashbacks to elementary school! We sang that EXACT arrangement of "That's When We'll Be Free" (and I had gone on to middle school, but my sister sang in that choir at the Clinton inaugural).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I decided not to go down to the Mall. It's just way too crowded, and I know that I won't be able to see anything anyway.

Trust my rage
I liked Michelle's sort of awkward "Whose hand do I shake first?" move. They just seem like such normal people.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
On Cheney, I can't wish the kind of pulled back muscle that puts you in a wheelchair on anyone, but I just want him wheeled out of town and may I never see his sneer again.
I can. I also like to think that it wasn't moving boxes as they're saying, but the result of him being bodily dragged kicking and screaming from the VP's res.
I assumed his human shell was starting to break down a day early.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We have lost inter5net TWICE already this morning. I am now watching MSNBC streaming and it BEST stay on.
I love that Michelle brought a gift. I love how happy everyone looks. I even love that Cashmere's asswipe cousin-in-law will be proven horribly wrong and that I cannot do anything but believe thqat the power of the moment and the emotion of the millions is chipping away at hate ina few people, it has to.

I saw a bit of MSNBC last night. The crowd outside was the best part from the singing of "nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah good-bye" to someone holding up a bicycle.
Appropriately, this morning was new food day for the dogs. Nobody is more excited than a beagle on new food day.
