FIRST THINGS FIRST: I got the greatest letter today from Ann Lewis, sent out to all of Hillary’s devoted supporters. Below the fold is the full letter, but the first thing you want to do is go to NoLimits.org and sign up. No money is involved. It’s very simple and positive! This [...]

It seems there were more than just hints of Lincoln’s ghost at the inauguration.
Obama kicked off the event with a train ride, taking the same route that Lincoln travelled to his inauguration. (I couldn’t find a picture or drawing of Lincoln, but here is Mr. Ford re-enacting Abraham Lincoln’s Christening of Lincoln, Illinois, with Watermelon [...]

Truthtelling007 has revived our NoQuarterUSA YouTube channel, and has put up parts one and two of the “Fox All Stars” who appear in the closing segments of Fox News’s “Special Report With Bret Baier.” I prefer these more unvarnished analyses to the otherwise giddy, awe-struck blather on some other news channels. This segment features [...]

Apparently Obama’s girls think daddy did well! (Pretty darn cute!)
But the grown-ups? Oh, their reactions are all over the map. First things first: Here’s the New York Times’s interactive page about the speech with both video and transcript.
Timothy Egan writes for the New York Times, in “Man In A Hurry“:
He seemed [...]

President Obama I wanted you to lift me up. I was really hoping that finally I would feel what my wife feels, hear what my co-workers hear. I wanted to be inspired.
I wanted reasons to get on board, reasons to join those other 84%.
Today, you did not succeed.
This entire country, Dems and Repubs, [...]

Sunday night I had occasion to watch the HBO pre-Inauguration concert entitled “We Are One.” I was moved by the pomp and circumstance staged before the Lincoln Memorial, the dress guard and the choirs; to see Mary J. Blige so proud, singing “Lean On Me” and the one and only Stevie Wonder singing “Higher [...]

No matter how dubious we are about the outcome of tomorrow’s inauguration — and with our eagle eyes fixed firmly on how Obama performs — it is fascinating to find these clips of past inauguration speeches, even Franklin Roosevelt’s and Harry Truman’s. AND BELOW THE FOLD IS A POLL FOR YOU TO TAKE: Rank [...]

Take in and digest each of these, will you? And then do tell us how you react to each? Below the fold, you’re going to learn that Robert Redford hates poor people and is a racist, and that one CNN reporter felt compelled to slam “Joe the Plumber” with a stern lecture.

What in the hell? MSNBC is advertising about its coverage of Inauguration Day, saying:
In the nation’s capitol, on the brink of history, the hour approaches …
If January 20th marks the “brink of history,” what have we been living in so far? And won’t the Visigoths, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians be just a [...]
