Inauguration Pictures: Part I

I have a very large amount of pictures to post from the Inauguration. I have decided not to put them all in the same post. Plus, I only currently have my brother’s pics on my computer. So here they are!
This is the Capitol Building the day before.

Washington Monument the day before.

After All That Hype

My brother and his class did not even make it onto the mall for the Inauguration yesterday.  They went to a gate near the capitol at 4am or something, waited in line for hours, and then they closed the gate before they were able to get in.  My bro said it was completely unorganized.  Instead [...]

Historic

Where were you when the planes crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001?  Where were you when the tsunami hit?  When Hurricane Katrina hit?  When the London underground was bombed?  I, along with many other people of this generation can answer those questions in a blink of an eye.
I was in French [...]

He Went Out With a Classic

At 8pm tonight, President Bush gave his final speech to the nation.  I did not watch it, mainly because I forgot.  However, I did read the Yahoo article about it, which had the highlights.
First, what would a Bush speech be without a Bushism?
“You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made, but I [...]

Thirteen Things You Can’t Bring to the Inauguration (TT#5)

My brother, one of my sisters, and my mom are lucky enough to be able to go to DC for Obama’s Inauguration.  Security for the event is getting stricter by the day.  Since the historic moment is less than a week away, I thought it would be appropriate to list thirteen prohibited items for the [...]

Thirteen of My Favorite Websites (TT#4)

The Thursday Thirteen website seems to not be available today, but I am posting a Thursday Thirteen anyway.   So, here are thirteen of my favorite  websites.  They are in no particular order and I have excluded my favorite blogs from the list.
1.  J.K. Rowling’s Website.  Not only is this the website of my favorite author, [...]

Freudian Slip?

My English homework the other day was to write about a person or group of people in society and their clothing choices/styles.  I decided to write about Sarah Palin since we previously talked about her in class and because it was the day after the election and I was still wanting to talk about politics.
I [...]

GObama!

Well, it’s official!  Barack Obama has been elected the new president of the United States!  I am beyond happy about this.  We will finally end the 8 year error that was President Bush.
Congratulations to Obama and Biden!
And the best part is, Sarah Palin can go back to Alaska.  Where she can, you know, keep an [...]

Go Forth and VOTE!

Tomorrow very well may be one of the most important days in history.  The way I see it, after tomorrow, we will know whether we’ll have four more years of Conservative politics or the change this country needs.  Therefore, it is incredibly important to go vote tomorrow!  Unless of course you’re Canadian or British or [...]

With a Hatchet, Scalpel, and Plunger

On the most recent Saturday Night Live debate, Senator McCain has informed the nation that he will cut taxes using a hatchet, scalpel, and plunger.  A magical plunger to be exact.  And who does that plunger belong to?  Joe the Plumber, of course.  McCain also announced that he will create a new cabinet position of [...]
