Message from the Emergency Swampcast System: Updates coming on a regular every-once-in-awhile-basis-depending-on-pit-stops !
Comments and observations about today/yesterday/last night/whenever:
1. Jill Biden: Your black boots were gorgeous and so was that red coat/dress. BUT, the coat/dress should have been longer to cover your knees. Question: Want some duct tape the next time you're on Oprah?
2. Nancy Pelosi: Does your face move or is that smile permanent?
3. Michelle Obama: How gracious to give Mrs. Bush a leather-bound diary as a "going-away" gift!
UPDATE here in southern Georgia...AnodeMan was kind enough to share his 24 hour virus which has turned into a 48+ virus for me.
These additions will be made periodically between sprints to take care of the fringe benefits of this raging virus. May I suggest that you hold your breath as you read.
4. Aretha Franklin: Loved. Loved. Loved your hat.
5. To whom ever chose the "rendition" of "The Star Spangled Banner: Thank you for leaving it as Francis Scott Key composed it. I almost wretch when it is sung or played with additional NOTES. The words "home" "brave" are one-syllable words. No other version, in my opinion, works.
6. Malia and Shasha: Absolutely stunning in your periwinkle blue and coral coats. It will be so much fun watching the two of you grow during the next four, possibly eight, years.
7. In reference to a couple of comments: "yo Mama on the cello" cracks me up, Jen. Yes, Sayre, I loved the matching purple on the older Bushes...what I really noticed as how feeble, frail, and fragile he looked.
8. I'll get political later and comment about the speech. Right now, I'm dealing with what I call the "Afraid to Fart Virus."
9. Chief Justice John Roberts: You botched it up nice and good. Can't you read?
10. Jill: You have exonerated yourself from the 'detached-looking" outfit you wore yesterday with that eloquent red dress you wore for the balls. Perfect length for dancing.
11. Michelle...Madame First Lady: Loved the lemon-grass color of your Isabel Toledo design even though it's not a color I can wear because my skin is pretty much that shade of "yellow." Weren't you freezing to death? I admire you for not covering it up with a coat but was wondering if you had on long-handled short-handled underwear. As for your ball dress, the style was exquisite but didn't Jason Wu realize you would be "dancing?" What was with the TRAIN? Too much of a nuisance to be getting into and out of your new wheels.
12. Dr. Joseph Lowery: "Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. " No comment !
13. Dub Y: So glad you are in Texas. After your comment, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job," I just cringed when "Hail to the Chief" was played as you appeared on screen. Seemd a bit of an oxymoron to me. Things just seemed to spiral downward after that.
