Here are some things I feel are worth noting about the inauguration of our 44th president. (I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of hearing the words “President Obama.”)

“How do I love thee, Barack Obama? Let me count the ways…“

Wordless Wednesday is on a break today, to allow for Blog Action Day. This year’s theme is poverty.

During this time of financial crisis in our country, it is understandable that people are tightening their wallets and worrying about themselves and their own. Times are tough for (almost) everyone. If you are reading this blog, however, I’m guessing that you have eaten a decent meal recently. I’d also be willing to bet there is a beverage sitting precariously close to your keyboard: coffee, soda, water (in my case, all of the above).

The election. You just can’t get away from it these days. I’m not one to usually go on about politics–political discussions tend to end up in some form of debate and I’m not usually well-versed enough to argue my position. That’s not to say that I don’t have strong opinions regarding the issues and the candidates. I think “Sarah Palin hates polar bears” cleared up any confusion one might have regarding where I stand.

Another view I hold strongly was best represented by Craig Ferguson in his Sept. 10 monologue on “The Late, Late Show.”
