THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT FOR YOUR GRAND SPEECH!!!
Thanks for the pic... very nice, reminds me of one a friend of mine has of RR holding up a champagne flute and looking Presidential in a tuxedo.
One pretty endearing thing I saw yesterday while dozing off looking at CSPAN's parade coverage with one eye...
They had the Culver Black Horse Troop from northern Indiana (around Lake Wawasee), who have been traditional participants in Inaugural parades. [Clinton did not let them participate BTW.] They looked like a million bucks.
Anyway, after the tons and tons of horsemeat had walked by the Presidential reviewing stand, looking very snazzy, there followed these two poor guys with shovels and trash cans on big wheels whose job it was to pick up horseapples. They were wearing very smudged safety-yellow overalls but looked upbeat, all things considered.
When they passed the reviewing stand, they made a point of getting W and Mrs. Bush's attention and gave them a big wave and a smile, and W and his wife were gracious and smiled broadly, waving, and acknowledging their modest contribution to the festivities.
It was pretty cool, something you can only see on CSPAN. And only from a person like W and his wife, who are, deep down, pretty humble individuals, methinks.
