Dear Friend and Reader:
IT’S MARTIN’S DAY…It’s our day. All of us.
Once again, the “Left leaning” media has inflated the cost of Obama’s inauguration, giving the Right something to bitch about — hopefully, that kind of misrepresentation will change along with everything else … oh yes, we can.
We’ve spent eight years feeling as though there’s a ticking time bomb in every single MSM piece we read; and there always was one. This piece, although fluffy, has an entirely different energy — and I was thrilled that Pete Seegar was invited to sing with the Boss; he has stood up to be counted for an entire lifetime, and paid a price.
Me, I don’t care how much they spend on this celebration, frankly … the joy on the faces of the participants, widely covered on any television, is worth the price. We are in an amazing period of overlapping energies, including an end of karmic obligation to the founding of this nation on inequality. Now — if we can just pass the ERA, all of us will be full citizens of a country determined to rebirth itself for a new century.
One little piece of Bushian errata of note is that of the customary moving schedule — between the brief period of the inauguration ceremonies, the White House staff customarily does the impossible … they traditionally shift the belongings of the prior president with the new in the space of a few hours, completely erasing the former and having everything in place for the latter. Amazing logistics, that. But unnecessary this time, as Laura started moving out this summer — and that might explain a few things about the vagary of our lame Dubby in these last months. There may have been presidents who wanted to get out of town faster, but not in recent memory.
