Just remember this the next time you hear Hangin’ Judge J.R. whining about how much money judges make here (and by the way, I thought Daily Kos diarist Brainwrap was charitable to a fault concerning the negative commenters; if a judge can’t live comfortably on $160 K a year – $217 in J.R.’s case – they should look for the source of the problem from their reflection in the mirror)…
From the ridiculous, though, we go to the sublime; President (no “Elect” any more) Barack Obama’s inauguration speech, with commentary by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks (don’t know who the other commentator is – and by the way, if you have access to the New York Times, this column from Bob Herbert today is truly a must-read)…
…and here is the invocation by Rev. Joseph Lowery (this was great, and the fact that it gave that nitwit Dom Giordano of WPHT in these parts a case of the “vapors” is all the better – transcript is here)…
Update 1/12/09: Even better (tee hee)...
…oh, and “Deadeye Dick” was there too (appears at about :17)…
…and I think this is the perfect song for the occasion (“If You’re Out There,” by John Legend).
