Helicopter
Posted to Current Events category
I took a break to watch the inauguration...
Shrub is gone. Finally. He is on the helicopter and leaving Washington. The news guys are saying that people were cheering him, but I think it is likely that many of them were cheering the fact that he was leaving.
Last night in Dupont Circle people were throwing shoes at a giant inflated effigy of GWB.
President Obama's inauguration address was impressive, and well-delivered, which is still refreshing.(Talking Points Memo has the full text.) I hope that he follows through on cleaning up corruption and inequity (and iniquity) as he claimed he would.
