Probably my favorite memory of the campaign was the day after the election, when an African American kid about 10 rode his bike to HQ to see if we had any stuff left. I was standing in the hallway talking to him and he said, "Obama won!" and when he said that, I just cannot describe the look on his face. The absolute joy. His eyes alight. It was positively magical.

Colbert: I think you ask the right questions too. I mean, you ask questions like, 'Why are we in Iraq?' That's the right question. Not, 'Why would you want to go to Iraq?' You wait until we're there.

This is what 45 looks like
young kids like that are strong enuf to put up with the crap that will be pitched at them
(more from the freeper post
This is not the place to go into the hows and whys of this past election: an eight-year long incessant farrago of lies, mendacity and uncompromising evil directed against President Bush, carried out by the most profoundly ignorant and/or sincerely naive and suggestible and/or most deeply hateful among us, has resulted in the capture of the presidency by B. Hussein Obama. This has primarly been engineered by a herd-like "press," exhibiting the sort of mindless, hagiographic adoration that in other places and times has resulted in absolute dictatorships. A traitorous, ignorant and vicious "media" that has hated Presisent Bush simply because he stood upright and breathed, is principally responsible for the present nightmare come true. The ignorant, the suggestible, the hateful: they voted as the media told them to vote.
The proposition is simple. I make no claim whatsoever for novelty here - many, many others have suggested this before me, and some are already doing this. My only point is: DO IT AND START NOW - DO NOT WATCH ANY OBAMAVISION ON ANY CHANNEL. EVER. AGAIN. EVER. Get information from the internet instead of TV. Over time, this WILL hurt the networks. TURN THE TV OFF. NOW. KEEP IT OFF. It is of equal importance to PASS THIS ON. This cannot be overstated: pass this on everywhere. As moveon.org did with their unpatriotic lies we can do with our patriotic truths. Re-write it your own way if you wish. Make this concept go "viral" - posts of this type should flood the internet and become news. The needed consequences of this will not happen overnight. It will take time - years - but the bottom line for the media is money. The Obama-TV media, which, sadly, is almost all our media now, will - in time - collapse without viewers and the associated advertising income. We *WILL* bring them to their knees by NOT WATCHING. Be patient. Persevere. If your TV is on at this moment, get up out of your chair and turn it off now. Never give up. One more time: TURN OFF OBAMAVISION NOW AND KEEP IT OFF.

less remembered parts of lincoln's first inaugural have their own special relevance and charm:
The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."
I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory...

Vicki! Make Elvis Bread! Add peanut butter and chocolate chips! It's delicious!
(Just start with the first ingredient into the bowl, following with all the rest. The mixer will take care of puree'ing the bananas just fine. Chips and nuts at your choice.)
BANANA PEANUT BUTTER BREAD 4 extra-ripe medium bananas, peeled 1/3 c. chunky-style peanut butter 1/4 c. butter, softened 2 eggs 2 c. flour 1/2 c. sugar 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt Chocolate chips Nuts Slice bananas into blender. Puree until smooth (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups). Beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Beat in eggs, then bananas until blended. Combine dry ingredients; gradually beat into banana mixture until blended. Pour into greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Bake in 350 degree oven 50 minutes until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Turn onto wire rack to complete cooling. Makes 1 loaf.
They be yummy, although time consuming.

That's the side yard then - on the south side of the house, fully enclosed with tall block walls and the house, two orange trees and the Chinese pistache. Filtered sun, no direct. I've got basil growing there without being hit by cold or heat, as well as parsley, chives, irises, calla lilies, lavender - they'll be fine there.

Last fall he was invited to Bill Clinton's Global Initiative thing in NYC. His family had taken a penthouse suite in an upscale hotel, but one of them saw a mouse. Freak-out scene ensued.
So they left and went to another hotel. That second hotel had to clear out a penthouse suite for Muhammad and his entourage, so the other guest, who apparently wasn't showing quite enough green to keep the suite, got the boot and Mohammad took it over.
The guest that got asked to leave so Muhammad could have the suite: Sarah Palin!
True story. I heard it from someone who was there.
Muhammad is a big deal here in Phoenix. He does a lot of Parkinson's Disease charity work here.

repeating a thought from earlier, as it pertains to the comment above:
The accomplished ditching of the US Airways plane pilot by Chesley B. Sullenberger III was the perfect coda to the Bush years.
In a fitting coincidence, it even overshadowed the president's final address to the nation; reality once again intruding on the public relations fantasies of the Bush administration.
At the center, the event was occupied by a man who is everything George W. Bush is not; A well trained professional, who took his job and responsibilities seriously, reacted calmly under extremis and with precision and care. His moment of truth became a job well done.
Nice moment. Glorious news. More to come.
