Inauguration Day
While it’s bitter cold outside, I’ve got a warm feeling in my gut as President Bush takes the oath of office for a second time today.
Four years ago, I didn’t feel that way at all. I felt disheartened and betrayed by an American system that hadn’t gone my way. Yet 8 months later, everything was going to change - including me.
But not the system. The American republic rolled onward into the future, steadily and inexorably. It didn’t betray me after all; it worked as it was designed - restoring my faith in my country.
Here’s to President Bush #43, and to the nation that he governs.

Funny how democracy works out, isn’t it? I mean it’s an outside shot but possible that the Dems will one day grow up a bit, get their act together, get some fresh young leaders and become electable again.

Thats why I think the Constitution is as close to perfect as it gets… the system is self correcting… it won’t crash.
