Cool - Obama's head speechwriter (the not-movie-guy Jon Favreau) is only 26! [link]
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
"Yellow can be mellow, the man who is red can get ahead..."
Yeah, okay on the sentiment I guess, but really? Really?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

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

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
And, Michelle Obama? GORGEOUS.
WORD.

"red man can get ahead man". I dunno - it kinda felt a bit like the kind of friendly interracial ribbing that I grew up with in Hawaii. Who knows.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Cool - Obama's head speechwriter (the not-movie-guy Jon Favreau) is only 26!
There was a snapshot of him at a party circulating the internet a few months ago, with him grabbing the breast of a cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton.
