Ah, see, I did not know that. So there you go - inclusive.
He was also pretty good, at least in the beginning, to use very gender neutral language.
I thought it was a good speech, but scattered.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Have you all gotten your puppy from Obama yet? Because I haven't.
. . . .
Seriously, I cried my eyes out as soon as he started the oath of office.
And, my god, that SPEECH! That was amazing.
I feel like I've been holding my breath for 8 years and can finally breathe again.
And, Michelle Obama? GORGEOUS.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
[on Warren]
It was way too Jesus for me. Way to completely exclude every other faith. But whatever, thank goodness that's over.
Just chiming in way late to say that even though I personally am all about the Jesus, ITA with java. Warren just made me grind my teeth on behalf of java and tommy and beth b and her very DH and ND and Daisy Jane and, well, all the firm and passionate unbelievers I know who are such excellent humans that I feel privileged to know them.
Everything else, though...I'm all weepy and breathless. When the National Anthem played a minute ago, I stood up at my desk.

The benediction started with the words of the Negro National Anthem. My sister was humming along with it. Hence the rhyming.

Our wings are not tired.
I brought my famed picture of my gramps (who died, at 90, a couple of years ago) and placed it on the end of the bed, towards the television. I knew he'd want to experience this with me.

I'm officially proud to be an American again. I was unofficially until Obama took office. I still won't quite relax until they are safely ensconced in the White House.
