Happy Inaguration Day!!!!

[Liz]

Yes We Did!

Here's to the world changing. Here's to being part of making history. Here's to watching it happen!

[Gorf]

Yes you did.



Today in 1942 NAZI officials came to their "Final Solution" to eliminate the Jews in Europe and CHANGE the the world forever. History was made that day. And as they committed genocide, everyone just watched.

Guess I better start working on my goose-stepping....

Wow, less than 1 hour from a thread starting to the invocation of Godwin's. I think that's a new record.

I do my best.

Don't look at me, dude, I voted Libertarian.

That said, out of the two applicable choices in our effectively two-party system, I am pleased with the way things turned out and home Obama someday makes me as happy as he made all those flag-waving people on the mall today. However, until I get my underground bunker - still skeptical of politics in general.

History was made, though, either way you look at it. We have a black president, which is something I never thought I'd live to see. Even if he turns out to be horrible, that won't have anything to do with the color of his skin any more than Bush being horrible had a correlation to the size of his ears.

If he doesn't at least initiate proceedings and investigations into the war crimes of the last administration within his first 100 days, I'd say he's shot his entire Presidency in foot before it's even out of the gate.

Hm.

I feel something weird.

It's sorta akin to 'hope'.

Someone hold me.

I vote Sawah to be that person.

No worries, that wasn't an attack... e.g. why I included LOL-Godwin.

And, oddly-enough, I voted Libertarian also... initially Ron Paul.

I have no problem with admitting it's a milestone. I just don't think he (and especially the current Congress) are going to be the best thing for the U.S.A.

Please, cite for me the exact laws that were broken that you think should be investigated.

Instead of a long soliloquy, I'll make it a two-step process:

Step #1: Summary Of International And U.S. Laws Prohibiting Torture

Step #2: Bush Judge Confirms Torture Took Place

Torture is a crime. Torture took place. Thus a crime was committed, and should be investigated and prosecuted.

I'm going to regret telling you about that, aren't I?
