The most important day in American history
Betsy's Page —
I thought it was just sports dopiness when I heard the host on a sports radio show I listen to promo the sports radio's coverage of the inauguration by saying they were going to discuss the role of sports in leading to today, "possibly the most important day in American history."

The Moment When Our Planet Began to Heal
The Brussels Journal - The Voice of Conservatism in Europe —

Barack Obama over the past year: misty-eyed, rapt, mostly young, mostly
female, disproportionately minority — and strangely possessed by a
weird admixture of joy and anxiety that recalls nothing so much as the
aftermath of a difficult birth. Perhaps ...
