With those California ballots, you can never be sure how much stuff is on there. Sheesh!
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Hey. New board.
This may be old news, but here's a Google Docs link to a slightly edited transcript of the speech: [link]
I was playing a game with myself where I bolded and italicized anything that I think might be a soundbite. You can play at home!
I loved this speech. More than anything I've heard Obama give.
ETA: If you want a word document of the same transcript, with columns for better readability on printing, ping me at my profile addy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
covering this portion of the parade is so silly. bunch of black vehicles moving slowly with the secret service walking about. Coverage could have waited until the bands started.
I am actually getting some work done. YAY! I think my boss will be surprised that I have thigs ready for him to sign when he gets in tomorrow. And I am still gonna leave a little early, like in 30 min.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
He's walking now.
Aww, yay! One of my happiest childhood memories is the Carter inaugural, when they walked the parade route and (esp. in a pre-homeland security era) they were suddenly *right there* after everyone up on the stand was a bunch of tiny ants all day.
