ReTweet @abc7chicago : According to Chicago Police, NO crimes were reported during the inauguration.
ReTweet @Ihnatko "And finally, to the tremendous benefit of a relieved nation, George W. Bush's brain goes back into screensaver mode"
LOVE to find out how the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States can SCREW UP the oath of office for the President of the US
Had to retweet this- A White Sox fan is now President of the United States. From my friend Ali after Bush flies away from the Capitol:
Retweet: Direct from athom: "he goone !" ;-)
W O N D E R F U L and inspiring inaugural speach ... So nice having a writer and orator as President of this land
Whew... Barack Obama has been sworn in as the nation's 44th president.
Watching the Inauguration... And cannot come up with words for explaining what I see and feel... Except what the hell is Aretha wearing?
