Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

I'd been OK all day, but this just made me lose it. I love that they got out early to speed things along because it's so damn cold.

I was getting all teary eyed watching our First Lady switching hands to wave and instinctively grabbing her husbands hand with whatever hand she had free. You can't fake the obvious affection between them.

Rush Limbaugh has weighed in on his hopes for the Obama presidency.
"If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him. Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the U.S. government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, 'Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.' (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, 'Oh, you can't do that.' Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the drive-by story is. I would be honored if the drive-by media headlined me all day long: 'Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.' Somebody's gotta say it."
Awesome. As often as Rush is wrong, this bodes well for the new administration.
