If you get tired of the inaugural coverage, but still want a fix of historic presidencies, some of this week’s History Channel programming may fit the bill. I plan to watch as many of these as possible, but then I’m a history geek.
The usual caveat about History Channel broadcasts applies. I haven’t seen these yet, so can’t vouch for… Read the rest
Finally, it is about over. Just two days, and we can watch watch his chickenhawk ass get out of our White House and our Capital City.

The political seismic shift that occurred Tuesday night, compressed into ten minutes. I still tear up watching it. Thanks to Jed via Daily Kos.
