Dubya, buh-bye. I actually cried when President Obama was finally sworn in, even if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court managed to fuck THAT up too!
EDIT: And you sanctimonious Brits still need to answer for Tony Blair, goddammit! |

Some of us knew from the start -- his nickname among us was: Tory Blair.

Man, I'd love to see them all up for war crimes in the Hague. Now THAT would give the world some hope. Try getting some after dinner speaking gigs after you've been found guilty as a mass murderer. |

How do you know that isn't the case?? Hmm??? That one dude was considered to be quite the ladies man, even if it did take over a century to repatriate his skull from the Smithsonian so the family could bury it!! Challenge my English grammar if you must, but you can't challenge my history!

| My favorite visual from the inauguration was easily Dick Cheney in a wheelchair. I couldn't stop picturing Mr. Potter from It's A Wonderful Life. You know -- a warped, frustrated old man. Official word from the White house was that "Cheney pulled a muscle in his back while moving boxes into his new home in the Washington suburbs." What?? The man was Vice President of the freaking United States, for crying out loud! He has to move his own boxes? Did he have to go and rent the U-Haul, too? Sheesh. Talk about getting no respect. |

I had the same exact thought. I suppose I'd never considered the logistics of moving in/out. I was interested in the moving thing - while the inauguration was ongoing, nameless, faceless people were simultaneously moving out the Bushes and moving in the Obamas. The news noted that when the Obamas finally went home for the night, not only would their furniture be in place, but everything would be unpacked and in the correct place. How inpersonal!!
"Mrs. Obama? Your bras are in the upper right drawer, your bloomers in the upper left. Your Tampax are in the blue bathroom."
Is there an official handing-over of the front door keys? Does the White House have a private kitchen in case Michelle wants to whip up a nice family dinner? Does she take her own Cuisinart or does she have to employ the used one? What about Grandmother's china gravy boat? Is that allowed? What about Barack's favorite bath towel? These questions haven't been answered. America wants to know.

This makes me think of a lyric from Evita (the original, not the stupid movie):

One or two of the things we promised to?

Something for politically-minded film buffs to look forward to.
The show, 'The Thick of It', has been playing over here for a few years and is quite superb. It famously has its own swearing consultant with most of the best lines going to Peter Capaldi - the most famous and oft-quoted being when his character is in a meeting when the door opens and another staff member hesitates before coming in: "What are you doing? Come the f*ck in or f*ck the f*ck off."
This is now my most eagerly anticipated film of the year. |
