I ran into my buddy the anarchist today. Told me he saw President Obama’s inauguration speech and he really couldn’t call himself an anarchist any more because he liked what he heard.
It would have been too monumental a task to probe that mind and find out exactly what he liked about Obama’s speech, so I didn’t bother.
Update: I gave up probing minds like these a long time ago:
The crowd packed on the west side of the Capitol grounds serenaded President Bush in mocking fashion when he took to the inaugural stage alongside Vice President Dick Cheney.
“Nah nah nah nah, hey hey, good-bye,” a section of the crowd chanted.
The crowd packed immediately below the podium received Bush in stony silence when he took his seat on the stage surrounding the podium where Barack Obama was scheduled to take the oath office to become the 44th president of the United States.
….Before Obama took the stage the crowd gave its warmest welcome to former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.)
Predictable. Personally, I was walking around whistling ‘Stars and Strip Forever’ the rest of the afternoon, at least thankful for the peaceful transfer of power that has always set our country apart.
