So, is that a flying saucer in the second pix escorting Bush out of town?

Flying saucer's taking Cheney back to Rigel 7.
His mission--to infiltrate the US government and begin the destruction of Planet Earth by manipulating a naive stooge--is completed.

Actually, we Rigelians just TOLD Cheney that he had a mission on Earth. In actuality, we really just wanted to get his ass off our lovely planet. We can't believe you bastards are sending him BACK here. Yikes. Thanks for nothin' !!!!

you know if the gnews people want to start on the road to redemption, they really need to do a side by side of this inauguration with the one 8 years ago,.... mood of the people, the method of "election" of the presidents, the route of the presidential motorcade, presidential speeches...
Christ on a cracker... listening to msnbc... talking about if Obama was black enough, in their recounting of the last 2 years...

That was clearly audible on MSNBC not only when Bush left, but at other times before O took the Oath.
And what kind of BS is that about Cheney lifting his own boxes? He's probably pulling a Caballero of SCTV, who got in and out of a wheelchair saying that the chair gave him "more respect."

Actually, they had planned to come down a few days ago and say "take me to your leader" and someone corrected them by pointing out that a real leader would be sworn in today...two ships passing in the night, errr day.

. In weather news, winds up to 125mph were recorded around the globe as over 6 billion people simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station reported a gigantic "WHEW!!!" that rattled solar panels and caused zero-gravity toilets to overflow. When asked for his comment on the phenomenon, ex-President George Walker Bush (43) said, "Ah'm ahblibious," and emptied the service bar on Marine One. He will be missed. Because it's very hard to hit that aircraft. .

Really! I was looking at a retrospective of First Lady's gowns on AOL the other day. They'd have the drawing of the dress and then the person wearing it. What they should have done is drawn the gown as if it were actually going to be worn by the person! I looked at the drawing and it was wonderful, then I saw the picture of matronly Laura squeeeeezed into it. How embarrassing, the first fat ass--and in red, too!

So many images... Aretha...and that superb hat that harkoned back to the Roosevelt inaugural! Cheney hobbled and wheelchair-bound... Scalia's hat...looking like Fu Manchu or the Merchant of Venice. The long shot of the packed mall with regularly spaced digital screens, a slight echo and President Obama saying this:
Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.
It was timeless...a harbinger of our fully global village...I shiver thinking about it.
PS-John, Is that a UFO in image #2? Was Obama also speaking to a multi-solar village?

No. John McCain would be president and (Lords of Light!) Sarah Palin would be fingering Cheney's man-sized safe, wondering which of the many people who don't like her to put in it first.

I would so love to have heard Sarah Palin sworn in. The final collapse of civilization would be worth it just to hear her say "like totally" when asked if she would faithfully execute the office etc etc.

A new day has begun. What a great burden has been lifted from our nation. our hearts have been released from the prisons where they were hiding until the day it was safe to see each other in our radiant power . Fear is no longer our national motto. Instead we walk into this new day with peaceful pride and hope of unity toward all... God Speed Prez Obama!

How disgraceful -- for an alleged president of the US to be booed out of town. How badly do you have to fuck up to be booed like that.

Well, it was too cold today to heat up the tar. Feathers were available, however, courtesy of Alaska turkey farms.
Booing had to suffice.

Was he literally booed out? I haven't watched any programming, so I don't really know. How great it would be though, given his penchant for being a cowidiot, to be "booed" out of Dodge!

OUR new president showed his learship in the first 30 secs....
The Chief Justice messed it up. He dropped a word, put it back in, put it in the wrong order. And on Obama's face you could almost read "That's not how it goes...Okay let's try again....Not quite but keep trying....Okay, you got the important parts in and that's what we're aiming for....Everybody calm down....There ya go Chief. You saw it through and we got the job done. You didn't quit and I'm proud of you. Now go sit down we have things to do." lol He even worked in an amused little smile like he enjoyed the human aspect of it. He wasn't rattled, he made it work.
