reactions on the Inaguration

• For a homophobic bastard, Warren's invocation wasn't too bad - till he went to the Lord's Prayer. Pretty insensitive for anyone not Christian.


• BBC live video feed - crashed


• Why is the VPs oath longer than that of President?


• OK - an old Jewish guy, a Chinese guy raised in france, and a black man making beautiful music - pretty symbolic, ya know.


• CNN live video feed - crashed


• I have audio streaming fromm the local news radio station


• My entire office has stopped working and is watching/listening.


• "We reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals" - BINGO!!!!


• Got my CNN feed back. Looks like the audio is about 3 seconds delayed


• I'm all sniffly...


• Individual responsibility - what a concept!?!?


• There goes the CNN feed again.


• Quoting Washington - awesome.


• Wow.

Now it's time to get to work

I got quite teary eyed- if for no other reason than we once again have a president who can TALK!!! I enjoyed the content of his speech immensely, I now expect him to walk the walk. I've gotten so used to being disappointed in our Chief Executinve I'm kinda afraid to hope.

As a side note- free verse is much better on the written page. When read aloud it kinda sounds like a weird speech by someone with timing issues. For spoken poetry you need at least a regular meter if not rhymning.
