And though it seems heaven sent

I'm not totally feeling the first half as much, because I don't totally agree about the 'founding principles' aspect of patriotism, or whether patriotism is even ultimately a positive thing, BUT, I dig the second part about us being humans and always trying to do better.

I rescheduled therapy for later so I could be home watching pre-Inauguration coverage and the Inauguration itself. I like participating in cultural moments along with hundred of millions of other people worldwide.

Charles Gibson has gotten so weird in his colloquialisms and 'observations'. And Diane Sawyer isn't drunk....yet. Maybe just tipsy. Of course, these are the reasons I'm watching.

She was practically performing a cabaret lounge song on the newsdesk during election results. And today, while the chopper with Bush took off, she said "after 8 years, George W. Bush finally leaves Washington." And she made no effort to hide that emphasis. This is all extra fascinating given what you've just revealed about her past!

Huh, that is interesting. Well, he managed to piss off the right wingers too.

And I'm sorry that you were also enraged by my NPR nemesis. That's one that usually makes me feel like an enormous contrarian.

Also, I caught a snippet of a Terry Gross interview the other day and she made me yell and change the channel and I thought of you.
