Inauguration Watch [Live Thread]

[kinsman redeemer]

I feel compelled to smell the sour milk. I must do it.

Might as well have a place to vent.

[BuckeyeTexan]

... when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead man, and when white would embrace what is right ...

Well that was a great big FU to every white person in America. Unity, indeed.

[Dinah Lord]

Snippets from an Alexander poem titled “Neonatology.”

“Is

“funky, is

“leaky, is

“a soggy, bloody crotch, is

“sharp jets of breast milk shot straight across the room,

“is gaudy, mustard-colored poop, is

“postpartum tears that soak the baby’s lovely head.

Another passage:

“Shockingly vital, mammoth giblet,

“the second living thing to break free

“of my body in fifteen minutes.

“The midwife presents it on a platter.

“We do not eat, have no Tupperware

“to take it home and sanctify a tree.”

Was that the gay bishop at the end? And why are there so many people wearing cheap party hats at a presidential inauguration?

[roses of sharon]

Racists speaking at a racists inaugural?

THANK GOD, Rush’s intro music is now on!!!

/Expect this from all commentators until the emails start coming in.

[GodBlessUSA]

Have a feeling this may be an administration full of scandal after scandal.

[Revolting cat!]

Ahem, I thought we were boycotting the coronation?!

[Squidpup]

“when...white...embraces...right”...those...are words....to fight

[Deo volente]

The black preacher says, "When blacks won't have to give back, and whites will embrace whats right"

A thinly veiled call for reparations?

The fabric of her dress? “Oh, just something I found in the window”!

Stole that from a Carol Burnett show from years ago.

If I didn’t have to pick my kid up from school I would be drinkin already.

Happy Birthday!!!!! Nice news for this day!

[Girlene]

Screw that BS. That was no prayer, but an out of place rant.

MEGADITTOS! That was horrid. Obama sat through it nodding, smiling, and laughing. And the whole crowd chanted AMEN, AMEN, and AMEN. Very offensive.

[gondramB]

A helluva day. My pizza should be here any minute.

[moonpie57]

I was thinking the same thing. %170 million for this? This has to have been the crappiest, least inspiring inauguration I have ever seen. The only thing I liked was the music before Obama was sworn in. Just hate that it’s called Ode To Obama.
