3. This is a great article and I recommend it to everyone.

It originated in the Washington Post, front page, today.

4. This man should get a ghost writer and write a book! Nancy Reagan turns out to be a hero!

You go Nancy! I liked her anyway because she follows Astrology, even though a lot of Christian's think it is the Devil's work. Astrology was a big part of the Christian world at one time. I believe the 3 Wise Men were Astrologers.

Thanks for posting this.

5. So many people who seem to

deserve seeing history more than us. and some how they all never saw it. THEY were the tough ones who persevered to render us these days of JOY.

and swearing in...

9. There was a black waitress at the Dem. victory party I went to ...

on election night. She was so happy to be there. I said "and you're getting PAID for this!".
(I had just volunteered at the phone banking office and ended up doing kitchen duty because I saw the need. It was a lot of work.)

Mr Allen being invited to the ball would be great.

10. I can't swallow. HUGE lump in my throat.

I was not expecting that ending. :cry:

I so hope that Mr. Allen is invited to The White House - right after the Inauguration - where he has a front row seat.

11. Hey, Bro. How did you like my celebration show?

[enigmatic]

12. It was awesome, bro

I was watching a replay of Election Night w/ the sound down while I was listening in; it was pefect w/ it. This has been a historic week, and I'm not sure I still can believe it really happened.
