Every other channel is on the inauguration.... On Sunday I counted six pictures of his face with three front page articles in the newspaper. On C-span last night, they filmed him signing copies of his books in a bookstore. Nice.
The brand of O'bama is here. Let's pray something good will come out of this.

Self-Reliance -Emerson
"If our young men (and women) miscarry in their first enterprises, they lose all heart. If the young merchant fails, men (and women) say she is RUINED. If the finest genius studies at one of our colleges, and is not installed in an office within one year afterwards in the cities or suburbs of Boston or New York, it seems to her friends and to herself that she is right in being disheartened, and in complaining the rest of her life. A sturdy lass from New Hampshire or Vermont, who in turn tries all the professions, who TEAMS IT, FARMS IT, PEDDLES, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always, like a cat, falls on her feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. She walks abreast with her days, and feels no shame in not 'studying a profession,' for she does not postpone her life, but lives already. She has not one chance, but a hundred chances." |
here we go!
