Oh dear, ita.
"Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall" -- he's so good with that kind of thing.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I missed the actual swearing-in, because I thought it was at noon, so I didn't turn the TV on until a little before.
"Barack H. Obama" sounds like 'Jesus H. Christ'-- it is making me laugh.
I feel like using "Barack H. Obama!" in place of "Jesus H. Christ!" now.
t edit Wow. BIG gay shoutout. Well done, Barack H. Obama!

That was a damn good speech.

It was! So glad I didn't miss the speech - because I totally missed the swearing in.
Okay, I disliked Kelly Clarkson's version "Country Tis of Thee" - what did you guys think?

Work is stupid.
I did notice Joe B. swearing in with his middle initial only, and it turns out his middle name is Robinette.
And also speaking of names, Bishop Gene Robinson was on Fresh Air recently, and it turns out his first name is Vicky. He wasn't expected to live, and his parents were expecting a girl, so they just changed the spelling of the name they were going to give her. And back home, I guess they still call him Vicky Gene.

It feels weirdly sappy, but I find this inaugural almost more significant than the last one. Yeah, first black elected president, hugely important. But anything can happen once. No, we RE-ELECTED a black as president. Granted, his competition was so terrifying that it was a fairly done deal, but my country re-elected a man that 10 years ago would have seemed ludicrous.
There was a TV movie several years ago called "The Man", about how the black Speaker of the House (I think), became President and all the drama around that. But it happened the direct, legitimate, no-doubt-about-it way. One advantage of getting older is seeing history deliver wonderful things.

So his name is Vicky Gene? That's...odd.
