Are there men on jumpy stilts on my teevee at the ball, or am I crazy. Also, how is this a ball, and not a concert?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My roommate auditioned for them!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm afraid the First Lady's dress looks a little junior high to me, with all the foofaraw.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I also did not like Michelle Obama's dress. The fabric was unflatteringly lumpy, and it was way too long (she was stepping on the front while they were dancing).

Also, how is this a ball, and not a concert?
Exactly! I know that dancing doesn't mean what it used to, but there should be some distinction, don't you think?
Also, dude, how spoiled are we? Publishable-quality pictures, within a couple hours of the event. Every once in a while I have to step back and let the Internets blow my mind. How do they fit it all in those tiny tubes?

I like Jill Biden's dress, except for the neckline.

Oh, another cool moment from today : an old white woman and a young black guy terrorist fist-bumping after PRESIDENT Obama's speech.

Hey. New board.
It's been a good day.
I don't follow Natter much - Bitches is all I can handle - but I've loved the inauguration W&P today. Thanks, guys.
