Today was inaguration day. The sun is out, and most people weren't in Washington or watching it on TV.
Man, is it cold where I live. Al Gore was at the inauguration--where is my global warming?
The mainstream media has succumbed to Obama mania. Especially in Illinois.
Blago is bad, which makes Illinois sad.
That's my rhyme, and if I wanted to, I would do it more of the time.
Why didn't Elizabeth Alexander's poem have any rhymes?
Did you see Dan Quayle today? He has gained a lot of weight.
Man, a lot of people probably feel stupid about waiting for hours in the cold for the inauguration.
What was ESPN showing during Obama's speech?
How many more times am I going to hear about William Henry Harrison giving a two hour inaugural address, catching a cold, and then dying a month later?
TV coverage, commericials, more coverage.
Carl Sandburg was a poet, and I went to Carl Sandburg High School. And the Carl Sandburg High School Marching Band is performing in the inaugural parade.
Brit Hume is wearing a tie that is the same color as Michele Obama's dress.
There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name-oh!
The end.

That's beautiful. I feel inspired.
Let Us Go then you and I
And let the other #$%^er Buy!
Beer is to Rent and Never
Eat Meat but once during Lent;
Cast a Cold Eye Upon Life and on Death
And Forgive MS. Alexnder's Deadly Tone Deaf!
That Poem -rather last minute homework - did not quite pass the finger test.
Thanks, Pundette.
Yes, it does not pass the "finger test." But at least no one is accusing her of plagiarism.
I have a tear in my eye.
Wish I'd read this yesterday, when I couldn't stand one more minute watching the news media prostrate themselves over the coronation of the One. That's when I needed such thoughtful, deep inspiration!
Let's not overlook the real poetry offered by Rev. Lowery. It even rhymed. Also set a great example for our youth on how to view fellow human beings.
I was still in shock that Alexander was allowed to read that thing of hers...so I didn't catch what he said on my first viewing.
Lowery is eighty-seven and lived during Jim Crow, so I'll cut him some slack, but he should've been told "white becomes right" was right out.
