You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Especially #4 and #6.

I totally want to see Malia's pictures!

One of the things I liked about Aretha's hat was that it looks warm, and she was the only one who had the sense to acknowledge it was cold.

No -- Bush Sr. wore that big fuckoff furry hat. Sure, it looked silly, but I bet he was the warmest person on that platform.

Also Jesse, the Windows button opens up the start menu, and Alt + f opens the file menu, and once on the top menus are open you can use the arrow buttons to navigate around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jay-Z or someone had a big fur hat on, too -- I think the Fug Girls highlighted it on nymag.com.

I mean, the girls should have their privacy, but...maybe she could get a Flickr account and just throw up a few?

Heh. I wonder, in terms of security, if that would ever be allowed.

Also, in the picture of Malia taking her dad's picture, did anyone else think the (orange??) carpet looked really old? Shouldn't the White House carpet be swankier?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did we miss Lie to Me?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

One of my favorite personal memories of watching the inauguration was when I glanced away from the tv momentarily and realized that the image of Obama giving his speech on the tv was being reflected in the button I was wearing on my chest, so I could clearly see his head talking with the faint image of the words "Yes We Can" behind it.

It gave me goosebumps!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did we just have an earthquake? Or someone dropped a piano in the apartment above me.
