[...] if you live in or near D.C., consider renting out your home at a great price for those inauguration-hungry folk. It'll get you right out of your holiday [...]

Ah, my fellow Hindu ..

" .. Amy Goodman on CNN. Just pointed out that the WH was built by slaves, will now be inhabited by people descended from slaves. Wow. A different world..."
The campaign season was memorable in many ways. Among them was the sheer amount of campaign images that one was bombarded with on the internet.
Now and then there were images that gave one pause - as if confronted with a stark snapshot of our lives and our past that had been suppressed.

Like the image one saw now and then of a tear silently running down a stolid face ..

And a still inner voice that reached out and whispered to the image, "Weep not, Child."
A milestone was within reach (Madelyn). And a milestone had been reached (Makeba). There is still work to be done.

KT this little Swamprat in Oz is simply green with acceptable envy..oh my oh my how I'd adore to be there. Have you any idea how this story has captured the world's heart? Maybe if I seriously ask the travel angels magic might happen!

I'll raise my glass to you all on THE day!...(by the way an American pal of mine rang a big bell 20 or 30 times when the wondrous 270 had been reached)

Goosebumps even imagining that January day...

I'll make samogon if someone provides me with a washing machine and a large sack of sugar.

I'm looking into the possibility of faxing myself to and from Jim Clyburn's office as an alternative to bedding down with strangers.

KT here--

TIME sponsoring? Ha! Have you heard what's going on around here lately? However, I will personally buy a round on inauguration day for any Swampland commenters who make it to our nation's capital. Time and place TBD.

I second Kathy's idea: a Swamprat Rendezvous at the Inauguration. This would actually draw me out of the catacombs. KT, care to organize something, with Time sponsoring?

answer to my own question is yes. My rep Bob Inglis has a first come wait list on his web site.
