Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

"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.

The speech in general was littered with stiletto jabs at the Bush administration, I thought - nicely done.

I kept muttering "ooh SNAP" under my breath.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

They're reporting an ambulance pulling up to the capitol, probably for Kennedy.

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".

I heard about Robert Byrd having some sort of seizure, but I didn't hear about Kennedy.

They're speculating that Byrd was taken out because he was so upset about Kennedy. Nothing's confirmed yet either way.
