A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood

A few observations on a great day.

From the day you swaggered into town

In your cowboy boots and Supreme Court crown

You never admitted to being selected

Instead of, like others, duly elected.

Georgie Porgie puddin' 'n pie

Everybody wave good-bye

We're not so sorry to have to say

We won't miss you now you've gone away.

And, as the helicopter lifted off, the crowd sang that old song by Steam, "Na-na-na-na, hey, hey. hey, good-bye!"

Chris Wallace, Fox News: "I'm wondering if he's really the president, after flubbing the oath of office. This could end up in the courts."

Note to Chris: Don't look now, but your ignorance is showing.

Sen. John Cornyn (R. Texas) put a hold on the confirmation vote for Secretary of State, thus forcing a voice vote tomorrow. He's a big buddy of W's, and he wants to vote "no" for Hillary, for all the good it will do him.

Sen. Cornyn: Don't look now, but your malice is showing.

This is the same Senator Cornyn who voted no on gay marriage, stating, "If you allow gay marriage, next, somebody will want to marry a box turtle. (This may not be the exact quote, but it's close enough.)

Even in a wheelchair, Dick Cheney still looked like Dr. Evil.

Ted Kennedy had a seizure during the luncheon. But, he's ok. He has to be ok. I'm not sure we could have a good health care bill without him.

The inauguration of Barack Obama. I loved every minute of it!
