Haha, not yet.

But Paul Ryan is on the podium. Saw him a few minutes ago going to his seat.

While we're at it, could you address this pls?

[telemann]

Fixed.

[htpcl]

Thumbs-up.

WHEN IS THE PRIVATE OFFICIAL CEREMONY WHERE HE SWEARS IN ON THE KORAN AND WHY ARE YOU HIDING IT?

[hardblue]

Shhh, it was slipped between the covers of the bible instead of the bible text.

[gunslnger]

That was on Sunday.

Glad to see the widow of Medgar Evers on the program.

Thank you for teaching me something new.

I liked Myrlie Evers-Williams's speech, and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's performance. At first, I thought the choir was just going to sing one part of the Battle Hymn, when they went right into "Glory, glory," but I was glad it was more.

I wish I liked Obama more. I mean, he's not a bad guy, but he seems kind of blustering at times, and I find that off-putting.

Nevertheless, high hopes for the next four years.

Yeah, I liked Richard Blanco's poem too.

[musicpsych]

It's funny - I feel like a lot of people don't know what to do with poetry, how to process it and react to it. It could just be me, but it seemed like there were a lot of blank looks shown on camera as he was reading the poem.

[telemann]

The poem was so free form, and conversational in tone, it was almost like a speech and extremely easy to follow / understand. And the reactions were ones of people listening. YMMV. We're always so busy talking all the time; we've forgotten how to just stay quiet, and listen.
