"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.
