I knew about the Mayor thing because I saw the SF Mayor on MSNBC this morning.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

What is even happening?
But I disagree with many of you about his statement. "I hope he fails" isn't evil. It's not laudable. It's not respectable. But it's honest. I believe, deep down, Rush hopes Barack and any vestige of what he derisively terms, liberalism, fails. I won't condemn him for saying it aloud.
When we invaded Iraq, some part of me hoped we wouldn't find WMD. The evidence was so flimsy, the reasons for invasion so questionable, that I didn't want W to be right. I just didn't. Yes, it cost numerous innocent lives, and had they found WMD those lives wouldn't have been lost in vain, yet part of me still hoped they'd fail.
I don't want to say it's evil or not, but I can say I think it's wrong-headed. We're in a mess. I want something and healthy and right to fix it. If I have been attracted to and/or holding onto the wrong ideologies, and someone tries something I'm against in theory and it works and it's good, I'll be glad of it -- not mad that it worked -- and not hoping against hope that it fails.
And I was the same way when we invaded Iraq in 2003. I thought we were wrong to do so, but I hoped that we would be proven right. I love my country more than I hate Republican ideology.

How many bands did Delaware get? Doesn't it seem like there were a bunch? How come they get to bogart the parade?
Only three that I saw - UofD, Del State, and my Tigers. Don't be a hater, quester! I think this is the third inaugural parade for my HS band, and they've been in the Rose Parade several times. They rock.
t /end bragging about a band I haven't seen perform in 20-odd years
And, look, there's a band from Maine.

For a second, I thought this band was playing, "Yes We Have No Bananas"

I didn't know Hodgman was on Twitter!
His Twitter feed is on his blog page...
Besides being on Twitter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How many did Illinois get?

Maybe because we're closer?

I'm saying, if you were calling Hawaii Obama's home state, you'd call PA Biden's, no? I'm assuming there are a bunch of folks there from IL.

Bands?
I haven't seen any so far.
We got a float and the tumblers.
Were the pipers from Illinois?
