This is an absolutely beautiful ceremony; from what the "heads" said, I thought it was going to be very simple.
But it is not. I think it's simple in its own magnificent way.

I love Cheney...
(that's a rare thought on this thread, LOL! I am but one of many)
To: onyx
Thanks. I guess I am not doing too well today. I did not get any sleep last night. I mean I was up all night and then when I tried to go back to bed, I heard this awful noise outside. I got up to look to see what was going on and it was a wood chopper across the street. Very, very loud! It sounded like it was inside the house.

Pelosi isn't speaker until January. I know...someone else asked me whether or not Pelosi was there. Check the post.
And you are right - the new congress has not yet convened. Technically the Congress is adjourned "sine die" (sp), so I would think that the leadership at the time of recess would be recognized.

WOW! What a speach!I thought it was a wonderful speech. I think the VP gave the best speech at Reagan's funeral as well. Very poignant.
To: Christian4Bush
Justice Roberts I think you are referring too!
