Amazing Inauguration Photo

The image on the linked web site (see below or click on the mini-image that I've posted) is called "Fullscreen Gigapan Viewer" and it is incredible. When you first view it, it will fill the window in your Internet browser. But click on the image and use the wheel on your mouse or the legend in the upper left of the screen to zoom in. Click and hold on the image to drag it around.

You can zoom in so close that you can see the music on the pages of the band members, or zoom in on Obama's fingers.

Incredible. Have fun.

Diane Sawyer Soused?


This is a funny video, but it's not embeddable - you'll have to click on the link to watch it.

Did Diane Sawyer stay up a little too late? Or hit a few too many of the inauguration balls? The next morning on ABC's Good Morning America, Diane was sure acting goofy and slurring her words. Perhaps a bit of the bubbly to celebrate our new king?

Hillary Lashes Out

Did you watch the inauguration yesterday? I did - and I missed this part. Hillary getting even for losing the nomination.

Hitchens Speaks About Warren

The following quotes are grabbed from Adult Christianity...

Speaking of Obama's choice of Rick Warren for the invocation at the inaugural...
...the man he has chosen to deliver his inaugural invocation is a relentless clerical businessman who raises money on the proposition that certain Americans - non-Christians, the wrong kind of Christians, homosexuals, nonbelievers - are of less worth and littler virtue than his own lovely flock of redeemed and salvaged and paid-up donors.

But if we must have an officiating priest, let it be some dignified old hypocrite with no factional allegiance and not a tree-shaking huckster and publicity seeker who believes that millions of his fellow citizens are hellbound because they do not meet his own low and vulgar standards.
