Turn on Foxnews. President is thanking those in attendance.

[Semper Paratus]

"Down with the plutacracy!"

Is that government by Disney characters?

[hoosiermama]

[goodnesswins]

Must be the Rockettes arriving for the parade? I heard they would be part of the celebration.

[Peach]

Dodd was on the Inaugural COmmittee, I think. I'm asuming the Kennedy, Pelosi contingent are not represented here.

Laura looks beautiful. Serene.

[just me]

Republicans have far more Class.

[LadyPilgrim]

"He's a determined man isn't he? Rehnquist."

Yes!!! You are right also! It could be meant for both W/43 and Rehnquist!

Please excuse me, I'm a bit slow on the uptake!;-)

[Nexus6]

yes, most entertaining. I believe one of their speakers mentioned something about diapers amd politicians earlier. How ironic...all of these people are coming off desperately in need of some huggies.

[paulat]

Trent Lott is playing Oprah giving away gifts...hehehe!!

Just got back from paying all my bills and treating myself to a nice brunch, haircut, and buying a gift for my loving spouse. Gotta spend those dimes! Once both our workdays are done (soon, this is a half-day for us both), we're off to share a celebratory early dinner.

Did anyone else hear the decided stress Bush gave as he responded to Rehnquist in the oath of office? ...to preserve, protect and defend...

How fortunate we are to have our country, and our President!

I can only stomach so much of those moronic rants. ABC reported that the line for the checkpoint to enter the protest is at least two blocks long. The 'reporter' stated there are THREE officials checking credentials.

LMAO

[lysie]

I can't watch that. This is a special day.

Nope. We respect the rights of others.

[spodefly]

Is anyone watching these idiots and their chants/rants on C-Span 2?

I have both CSPAN channels going here at the The Vast Spodefly World Headquarters and Bunker Compound. Quite the contrast.

CSPAN 1 / CSPAN 2

Sanity / Insanity

Principle / Neurosis

Health / Disease

Three is too many!!!!!!!

[Barlowmaker]

Actually, this is the one I meant to send you . It's a more wide-ranging call by a cleric before 2 million pilgrims in Mecca to eschew terror and violence against Muslims AND non-Muslims.

I don't know if you are aware of Chrenkoff's blog but it is a real optimistic and comprehensive overview of progress being made in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Muslim World. Cheers!
