  • Whoever is behind this weather is obviously conspiring to keep people at home to watch the inauguration with their families. #
  • I’m proud of all my friends (all of YOU) braving DC today, but I am so, so glad I’m not there myself. Bring back a souveneir for el jefe! #
  • I still can’t decide if I’m happier about the end of the Bush era or the beginning of the Obama era. #
  • Now ensconced on the sofa consuming C-SPAN & NPR. @BrianR is popping the champagne and even el jefe will have a ittle (through me). #inau09 #
  • @msfour Given your choices I would definitely pick MSNBC. in reply to msfour #
  • Michelle looks resplendent (as usual). Cheney looks even more decrepit and sinister than usual. #inaug09 #
  • Michele Obama is the Queen of America! #inaug09 #
  • Has a sitting president even been booed at the inauguration before? This might be a first. #inaug09 #
  • Retweeting @jonstahl: OMG, cheney as dr. strangelove. how appropriate. thanks, @hayduke! #
  • Barack Obama is Zen Master of America! #inaug09 #
  • One *very* evil kitty trying to ruin our family’s inauguration. And Rick Warren’s not helping either. #

  • How is there time for a song? It’s already noon, Bush’s term is over! #inaug09 #
  • @ monicacarolevans Were you serious about Warren’s prayer? You know he thinks you should be a second-class citizen, right? #
  • Um, does anyone know the lines? #inaug09 #
  • This just became a better nation. #inaug09 #
  • Retweeting @dsearls: Wow. Check out http://whitehouse.gov. Change has come. Here’s the blog: http://tinyurl.com/6tdmhy #

  • @lisawilliams That’s the idea. We needed four doors for the car seat we plan to be suing in about 2 months! Next: selling my Honda Civic. in reply to lisawilliams #
  • Loving the “Marching Musical Machine of the Mid-South.” Ain’t no stopping us now, y’all. #inaug09 #

  • Hmm, I’ve got 3 votes for bed, 2 for watching the game, and one not sure… #
