He basically said that in his speech -- something like "Restore science to its rightful place," something something.
The speech in general was littered with stiletto jabs at the Bush administration, I thought - nicely done.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And, again, let me apologize for writing the "j-word". I did not mean to offend, I simply wasn't thinking about how it would sound outside my head.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
quester, thank you for the apology. I am sorry if you felt jumped on at all, and I know that you would not offend intentionally.
I can't cut and paste because I am on my phone, but I wanted to clarify my earlier statements. I was in no way saying that the prayer was not exclusionary, and I am so sorry for the people who felt excluded by it, and I was not saying that Jesus's name was not overused in the speech. It probably was, but Warren didn't hold my attention, so I really can't say. I was simply responding to what I was reading as a sentiment by some that Jesus should have been exclude from the invocation altogether.

Pete Wentz watched the inaugeration from a tree in furry boots!
For a second I thought the wee man had finally come out as a furrie -- though he's not exactly "in".
