Finally caught up! We were in a place where we could neither see or hear clearly and still had an absolutely amazing time at the inauguration. I am so glad we went. We left after Obama's speech because we were so very cold and went to get coffees which we then took to a pub to Irish up and hung out there for hours, watching the proceedings on tv and talking to a ton of people about what an incredible day it was. Later we saw some of the parade (I LOVE a marching band!). It was just a beautiful day. truly. One of my fave moments was coming out of the stall of the lady's room in this bar we'd stopped in on our way back to the train station. Another lady was coming out of her stall at the same time and we just stopped and looked at each other and broke into huge grins saying "ISN'T THIS SO COOL?!?!??!?!"

That's executive branch PORN

The Action!Obama is fantastic.

too bad we can't inaugerate more often.

We should totally do that. Once a month we will re-inaugurate Obama.

And he should absolutely invite W. every. Single. Time.

Obama: ...and, for the ninteenth time, I promise to the American people to continue the work that has, to date, cured cancer, stopped global warming, ended terrorism and made everyone in America filthy stinking rich.

W.: Goddamn show-off. Cheney! Get me a beer!

Cheney: I can't get out of this chair, you moron! I'm aging rapidly!

W.: What about your Lazarus Pit?

Cheney: (muttering) Can't figure out how to convert the cocksucking thing to solar power.

Wrod. Yes, this.

White House Website Now 'Sodomite Publication,' says Religious Right

The editor of CovenantNews.com wrote:

The White House policies published on its new website confirms that Barack H. Obama intends to use his office to promote and maintain the sexual deviant criminal behavior of homosexuality (with malice aforethought).

Hey, it's criminal only in some states.

... Civil officials who approve of homosexuality, make the civil government a vile cesspool from which the abominations vomit out across the land. By displaying such a contempt for the administration of Justice by promoting this criminal behavior, "such civil officials are not only the source of the defilement, they are the criminals, and a hostile enemy authorizing the destruction of the society in which we live."

So?

Do people here have any recommendations for sofa vendors, particularly in SoCal? I need to buy one soon and the last couch I got from Ikea was squishy and uncomfortable and the Macy's one broke. My candidates right now are Sofas Etc. and Crate & Barrel.
