And then there's this from Pundit Kitchen
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

From the New York Times:
Edward Aulisi, chairman of neurosurgery at Washington Hospital Center, has released this statement: “Senator Edward Kennedy experienced a seizure today while attending a luncheon for President Barack Obama in the U.S. Capitol. After testing, we believe the incident was brought on by simple fatigue. Senator Kennedy is awake, talking with family and friends, and feeling well. He will remain at the Washington Hospital Center overnight for observation, and will be released in the morning.”

Back from the first round of inauguration events. Now have to get ready for a teen inaugural ball (ugh).
I have so many thoughts on it and am so happy to have gone.

One quick thought, Jill Biden looked GREAT, better than Michelle Obama did. The offset buttons on the red coat and those boots were amazing.
