And it's official! It's a good day. I'm officially NOT disgruntled - for once.
Some random thoughts:
1. I think I saw Starr Jones bragging on Fox News about being in the "orange" section to see Obama get sworn in. I have no clue if that's good or bad, but I'm guessing if she made a point to say it, it must be good. Lame. (Secretly jealous though.)
2. Alicia Keys wore a short dress to a very obviously black tie, possibly white tie affair. It's an inaugural ball, for god's sake. Wear something floor-length, will you?
3. I loved the silver, gunmetal color of Beyonce's nails. I really loved how she cried while singing to the First Couple. I cried too. I'm such a sap.
4. I love how they seem so intimate even though millions of people are watching them. If it's an act, it's an exceptionally good one. (I think it's real.)
5. There was one douche at the Youth Ball wearing a striped, polo shirt. Give me a goddamnned break, right? How did that guy get in? He couldn't get into a tacky Las Vegas club but he could get into an inaugural ball?
6. I'm not from Chicago or anything but the Cubs are my 2nd favorite team. I don't hate the White Sox or anything but come on, Mr. President (ooohh, I love writing that!), don't start off your Presidency hating on the Cubbies. They're cursed enough as it is.
7. Jon Stewart is exceptionally funny unless Samantha Bee is around and then he just plain sucks.
8. Saddleback sounds waaay too much like bareback for me to even begin to take Rev. Warren's gay-hating seriously.
9. The first openly gay bishop of the Episcopal church (on The Daily Show) is wearing a pink shirt and bares a striking resemblance to Elton John. Coincidence or bad joke?
10. Oddly enough, Fox News had way better inaugural ball coverage than any of the other news channels. Shocking. The coverage was incredibly public access, if you will, but extensive.
11. So that poem the female poet I should probably not admit I don't know read? Not the best. I'll have to read it to make a final decision, but rhythmic poetry just doesn't translate well to the masses.
12. Texas just gained a new full-time citizen. I guess you could say we're taking one for the team.

Thanks for taking an old man in, Texas. It's great that you still have enough Southern Hospitality to welcome home a man who came close to destroying America.
Also, my cold black heart might have cracked completely (sorta like the Grinch when he hears the Hoos singing on Christmas morning) during the First Couple's First Dance. It's so rare to find two people in such genuine love and not just love but friendship. Not to get to far off on a tangent, but friendship matters so much more in a relationship than love.
