Instead, we get louie gohmert. Oh for Pete's Sake....

Bad enough that sometimes our view is blighted by a shot of boner or yertle or that pompous ass scalia with his clown hat. (Gee, attention-hog much?)

I was hoping the wrongneys would be there just for the sake of being able to savor the contrast, and to see them watch their "entitlement," and their "turn, now," be taken by the man whose turn it rightfully is.

Yeeeechhhhh.

We all worked awfully hard for this moment.

My husband and I got choked up when seeing James Taylor with his acoustic guitar, playing "America the Beautiful." Never thought we'd see THAT day (another way the two of us felt "represented" up there on that platform)! I texted that to our son, who's out on tour - about to play Denver tonight.



We all worked awfully hard for this moment. This is OUR day, too! I love you guys!
